Big dreams need big courage but courage in me is a fickle thing. A good example of this is that I went to WDS back in June feeling pretty brave. I didn’t know anyone who was going to be there but I had read Chris Guillebeau’s book and it resonated with me so completely that I knew I must go. So long story short I go and meet lots of new people but when it came to summoning up the …

Small town Maine is trying really hard to offer opportunities to its residents that are usually only found in big cities. Unfortunately what’s being offered isn’t always of interest to the population at large here. So due to lack of interest the dance class I signed up for has been canceled. Undeterred I pulled out my mondo beyondo list that I started back at WDS and put that one back on the list. Maybe now is not the time for …

Since moving into my new place I’ve found it difficult to manage my time wisely. When I was living on my own there were no distractions and my life was pretty routine. Now living amongst people who don’t go to bed until sometimes midnight I’ve found myself staying up later and later to chat. When I do this it throws off my whole routine leaving me tired and sleeping in the next day instead of bouncing out of bed to …

Meet Joe Cross. He traveled across the back roads of the US living on nothing but fruit & vegetable juices for 60 days. He lost 80lbs and inspired many others to take control of their health. I’ve been showing this documentary to everyone I know. It’s a powerful testimony to how proper nutrition can heal you. While I was on vacation in Georgia I showed it to friends and families and Joe’s story paired with my own has inspired 5 …

Food Fight

http://tracywanders.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/galloway-ewing-boxing-gloves-hanging-on-the-wall-225x300.jpg

Food has been an obsession of mine since I was a child. It has been my constant companion through every success and especially every failure. Over the past 80 days I confronted my love/hate relationship with food. All my life I have allowed this tiny little muscle we call our tongue to have complete control over me but its reign ended the day I decided to go raw. I am so proud to say that I have completed 80 straight …

 

I’m Back!

  So I’ve been feeling uber guilty lately. Mid-July I disappear from the internet right after a super awesome friend built me this shiny new blog.  I’d love to tell you that it was a planned break but truth be told I got cold feet. You see I started doubting myself again. Why would anyone read my blog? What experiences do I have to share, I haven’t done anything with my life? Then I started spending weekends at my mom’s …

 

Awake the Warrior Within

I attended two MS society support group meetings back in 2009 and volunteered to help in the MS walk that year as well. After that I didn’t go back. Why? Because it scared the hell out of me. Just like that box of chocolates, MS is an unpredictable disease, you never know what you’re gonna get. Being surrounded by all those people with all those possible manifestations gripped me with fear. Wheelchairs, incontinence, chronic fatigue, blindness, and extreme pain these are …

 

Immersion

http://tracywanders.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/seattle.jpg

This theme has been following me around for a couple of weeks now. It hides here and there and jumps out at me when I least expect it. I politely nod and then duck around the next corner. It continues to follow me, chasing me almost. Until finally I’ve consented to lending it my time and my ear and here is what I’ve heard. If I expect any changes in my life to come about I have to completely immerse …

 

IT’S ALL ABOUT TAKING RISKS

http://tracywanders.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/summit.jpg

 I’ve been riding on the high of WDS for two weeks now and my aim is to keep that momentum going. I have been so addicted to reading everyone’s recap of the event. Every time a new one shows up on twitter I have to read it. I’m in awe of the people I met in Portland and really feel like the world is a better place just knowing they exist. These new connections have encouraged me in many ways …

 

MAKE YOUR OWN WORLD

PHOTO BY ARMOSA STUDIOS  It’s been one week now since the World Domination Summit and I have been trying to wrap my head around it all to try to convey to you the sense of power and community that comes from being surrounded by 500 likeminded individuals. In short, it’s intoxicating. My mind has been swimming in the possibilities of what the future holds for all of us who attended. There are many big ideas I have taken with me …
