Hello
Hi! My name is Chris. I used to blog over at a deliberate life. Unfortunately I am now locked out of that blog. I let it lapse and couldn't retrieve it. That's okay. This vibe is different. I'm different. I am again losing weight. Not nearly as much, but still a decent amount. I allowed other portions of my life to take precedence. I can't say I regret it. I am a much more well rounded person these days. I spent time getting a career and letting it go. That too will be a part of this blog. The career I picked was a confidential victim advocate for victims of domestic violence. I worked in one of the most dangerous cities for women in america. I also spent time as a hospital advocate for victims of sexual assault and rape. My realization after spending two and a half years as an advocate, (and a year and a half as a case manager in a safe house) was that almost every issue I encountered stemmed from learning relationship dynamics that were toxic.
