ABOUT
Sizzle & Bounce first began as a food and adventures blog with my friend, career linguist and author Anna Marie. (Visit the Original Blog here where we still post about adventures and cooking stuff! SizzleAndBounce
It's REVOLUTION time.
I'm thinking it's R E V O L U T I O N T I M E.
In The Book of Joy, Desmond Tutu and the Dalai Lama open their book with this:
Every Day is a new opportunity to begin again. Every day is your birthday.
The dialogues in the book explore Joy which, as Archbishop Tutu says, "is much bigger than happiness. While happiness is often seen as being dependent on external circumstances, joy is not." Joy isn't about avoiding suffering and 'discovering happiness' -- it's about learning "how to live with joy in the face of life's inevitable sorrows."
So I guess Sizzle & Bounce is all about finding joy.

I started this blog a couple years ago and set it up and then POOF! Like so many things, I let it slip away and dove into work and lost myself. So. It's Coronavirus. And its teaching from home with computers, masks and social distancing. In the last two years (and especially the last 6 months) I've put on 60 pounds. I'm a couple years away from the big 5-0. Do you ever feel like somewhere you lost your SELF? That's me, and the story is long, but it doesn't matter. It's possible to renarrate yourself through the trauma you've experienced and to capitalize on your resilience, so that's what I'm going to do. Here I go. Again. Goodbye. To all that!
