Bloggin' Ain't Shit but Bitches and Money

No, not really. In fact, anything but.

Mostly I'm slightly drunk and haven't posted in a few days due to 1) overthinking, 2) stress and 3) lack of discipline. 

But I did watch a good TED video today about the connection between the willingness to be vulnerable and the capacity for joy. 

And there was also a new column today from Dear Sugar, also known as the best advice column I have ever read. 

There's a connection here, and that is honesty. Both stress the importance of being honest, and how it can redeem you. 

More on this later. 

 

 

Posted via email from Jane Donuts is Starting Over

Who is everyone kidding?

Jane Donuts always laughs when people talk about how much they overindulged on Thanksgiving.

"I cannot believe how much I ate!"
"My pants are going to be so tight!"
"I really overdid it this time!"

Who are these people, Jane Donuts thinks? Do they not ever sequester themselves in the house with a large pizza and/or a pint of Ben and Jerry's? Have they never started to eat a forkfull of pie or a handful of cereal and then found themselves finishing the whole thing?

And isn't that sort of the point of Thanksgiving? Are people really going into it thinking/hoping they won't be gluttonous? And if so, isn't that the best way to ensure that they will be?

Jane Donuts really wishes people would be more honest about their weaknesses.
