IT’S MOVING DAY!

August 24, 2012 · 0 comments

OY. It has been a long time since I have written here.

First: YES. I am still alive.

Second: THANK YOU for your comments and emails and homing pigeons, checking in on me and telling me that you miss this little blog. I appreciate that more than you know.

And Third: It’s moving day!

Moving where…? To my new blog, of course! (You didn’t honestly think I was leaving California, did you?)

Now, I know what you’re thinking…
”Really, Melissa? REALLY? What is wrong with this blog? You’ve worked so hard/this is a perfectly fine blog/life is always going to be a journey/I DON’T WANT TO UPDATE MY GOOGLE READER WITH YOUR NEW BLOG ADDRESS…”

I’m sorry guys. I promise, it will be awesome.

Truth of the matter is, this blog will always be my first love but like 99.9% of first loves, I’ve grown out of it. I started to feel stuck in the confines of writing about weight loss, healthy eating and how much I was (not) working out. I felt like I had to keep apologizing every week I didn’t lose a few pounds, even when there were so many other awesome things in life to tell you about. I found that I was sort of done talking about the journey to lose weight…and I was ready, after a couple of years and around 75-ish pounds lost, give or take…I am ready to just write about the awesome life that I am living right now.

And THAT, in my opinion, deserves a brand new shiny blog.

DRUMROLL PLEASE….and update your Google Readers to….

www.amarvelouslife.com

Woohoo!!!

So this, my friends, will be the last update on Journey To Marvelous. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for reading. It has been a great run!

I hope that you will appreciate that I kept a little part of my old blog identity mixed in with my new blog name. A little tribute to where I started, perhaps, with eyes on the future.

NOW: Please follow me to my new blog home…there is lots I can’t wait to share with you guys!

xoxo,

Melissa

She’s Back!

Holy break from blogging! It’s been over five weeks since I last blogged…in one sense, it feels like just a couple of days has gone by. At the same time, it feels like a hundred years ago since I last sat down and wrote something. I think I just needed a break to work on [...]

Tonsils As Big As the World

2012-04-12_tonsillitis-1

I am going to admit to this right up front: I am not a good sick person. I can handle a cold alright. I’m not happy about it, and I might get kind of whiny, but I’ll handle it. The flu? A whole other story. I literally get emotionally upset when I have the flu. [...]

It’s been all over the news the last week or two…the Mega Millions lottery jackpot, played in 42 states and some of the U.S. territories, is at an all-time record high.

1. Do you ever hold your breath and make a wish when you drive through a tunnel? Is that just a rainbow tunnel thing? It is it just a me thing? I kinda hope not…I can’t be the only silly girl wishing on every star, dandelion and clock reading 11:11. And almost passing out in [...]
