I'm sitting on my chair, watching the Biggest Loser, when Anna Kournikova (the latest BL coach) unleashes this bit of Russian Wisdom.
"Don't sit on the couch, spit at the ceiling, and expect things to happen for you."
Don't you LOVE that? It sounds even cooler in Russian.
Makes me wonder how she would approach having Lyme Disease.
Turns out, there are a whole series of Russian Proverbs. But, I digress.
I love proactive thinking. I love people who believe in making things happen that weren't going to happen. Even though I'm confronted with how to do that right now, I'm willing to look.
There's always something I COULD be doing...that I'm not. How can I better live up to my potential?

ALTER EVERYTHING
What do you get when you combine a creative, Type A personality with Chronic Lyme Disease? A choice: A) Be swallowed whole or B) Reinvent yourself--daily. Alter Everything is my quest to respect "A" and embrace "B" as much as possible. Here, I recount my daily adventures in pursuit of an altered life.
