Giving Up and Writing About Depression
| April 4, 2013 | Posted by Issa under Radical Self-Acceptance |
I originally started writing about depression because when I’m depressed I can’t think about much else. That’s happening right now. I’m in a depression. (Thank you Greta Christina for that language: “in a depression” sounds so much better than “having a depressive episode” which is what I had been saying.) It’s been going on a couple of weeks now. Too long to just be a bad day. I’m doing okay on the home front. Parenting-while-depressed is… Keep Reading
Too Freaky For Blissdom?
| January 7, 2012 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
Meghan at The Tuckers Take Tennessee and Kristi at Creative Kristi are hosting an icebreaker for Blissdom 2012 where we each write a post about ourselves to help us get to know one another before Blissdom arrives. This will be my first Blissdom and my first blogging conference entirely. I’m terribly excited! I’ve wanted to go to a blog conference for a couple of years now, and I’m completely elated to be headed to Blissdom.… Keep Reading

2011 Spotlight
| December 31, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
2011 has been the best year of my life so far. Dylan arrived in the world, and I have experienced so much happiness since then. Take a look back at 2011 with me. Here were my favorite posts each month: January: I put together a very informative post for the people buying pigs from us called How Much Meat From a Pig. I never did get around to posting the followup after we got our meat,… Keep Reading

November 2011 Snapshot and Open Thread
| November 30, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
November is ending, which means NaBloPoMo is ending as well. I did it! I made a post every single day this month. Whew! In case you missed any of them, here are the highlights: Way back at the beginning of the month, I wrote about the Occupy Movement. I explained why I like to use the word fat to describe myself and in my fat activism and talked about loving my body simply because it’s my body. I am especially… Keep Reading
NaBloPoMo 2011
| November 1, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Blogging |
Today is the first day of National Blog Posting Month (NaBloPoMo) 2011. The idea is to blog every single day – even weekends! – in November. It’s the smaller cousin to National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo). I did NaBloPoMo last year and had a great time. I posted every day in November and kept up a pretty consistent posting schedule for most of the rest of the year. NaBloPoMo is coming again at the perfect… Keep Reading
Starting Zoloft
| October 12, 2011 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
It’s been two weeks since I’ve made a post. I have ideas rattling around in my head for posts, but when I try to sit down to write them, nothing happens. Nothing much else is happening, either. I don’t feel much like doing anything at all. I started taking Zoloft about three weeks ago. I had a week of physical side effects like dry mouth and muscle tension combined with a jittery desire to do… Keep Reading
Blog Makeover
| December 19, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
Lately, I’ve been trying to tweak the layout and design at LoveLiveGrow to get some different functionality out of the site (like full-length posts on the main page) and it hasn’t been going well. While I’ve been using this same design for a long time and it has really suited my purposes well, I think it’s time to make a change. So tonight is the night. I’m getting started on a whole new design, and this means things may be a little wonky around here for a couple of days. Keep Reading
Shop at Amazon
| December 11, 2010 | Posted by Issa under Uncategorized |
I don’t buy Christmas gifts or even celebrate Christmas at all, but I know that lots of other people are gearing up to do so, and some of you will be buying things online. This post is just a reminder (and shameless plug) that if you click on an Amazon link through LoveLiveGrow, anything that you then buy gives me a tiny little affiliate fee, which helps support this blog. Also, in case you didn’t know, Amazon sells nearly everything. I have been continually amazed how many things I can find at Amazon for good prices. It’s also fun to be able to read through reviews before buying something. Keep Reading
