About Me

Hi! I'm Lauren...obviously. I am funny, unabashedly loud, devoted to my best friends, confident, and hard-working. I currently serve as a Shift Supervisor for the newest Starbucks in Collierville. When I am not calling drinks, I am usually in South Memphis visiting a client as a Lead Therapist with Health Connect America, a firm located in beautiful midtown Memphis! When I am not working, I love to volunteer at a local AIDS clinic and hang out with my best friends Michael, Becky, and my grandmother.

Stagnant Mosquitoes (Losing Everything While Standing Still)

So, in the past three weeks, I have experienced a nearly twenty-pound weight loss. Michael says I was tiny to begin with, but now I am worse. I suppose these wounds are self-inflicted...

Fewer Than 500

Today I had fewer than 500 calories and probably burned them all. I had a piece of cheese for breakfast and a tall cup of coffee. I met a man today. His name is Eric. Maybe this one ...

A Fitting Memorial

So, today is the day. My body feels so heavy. I am so tired. For seventeen years, I have wanted to put my father's injustice in the right. I have only begun, but this "process"...

Trepidation

This one is short

Of course I knew he wouldn't call. What the hell was I thinking? Time for an awesome bubble bath and then to catch up on client phone calls and DHS paperwork.

Hold Ups and Hang Ups

So, in dealing with Nicholas, I have to admit that there are a few hang ups I have with him...or rather his family. We were on the way home from hanging out with Michael last night, and he gave me a C...

Selling Myself and Other Discoveries

So, my parents don't know this, but I sold the jewelry that my father had given me when I was younger. Turns out, I never wear it and I sure could use the money. So, I sold it. In a weird ...

The $8.00 Salad
