Before You Comment

Hello and welcome to my blog! I am truly glad you are here and hope that you find something that brings you hope, joy, freedom and life.

My default settings put your first comment into the moderation queue. Once I have approved a comment from you, your comments will no longer be moderated, unless something in your first comment makes me wary of your ability or willingness to engage with me respectfully and in good faith.

There are certain things I don’t tolerate.

I don’t tolerate any -isms.  Sexism, fatphobia, racism, homophobia, biphobia, ableism, healthism, classism, heterosexism, ageism, etc.  This list is by no means exhaustive, and I don’t tolerate any of it.

I don’t tolerate personal attacks or ad hominem arguments directed at myself or other commenters.

I have very little tolerance/patience for comments that are not respectful and in good faith.  Commenters who post such comments will be put on moderation and if you repeatedly show disrespect to me or others, then eventually, I’ll get tired of you and ban you.

A quick word on dieting/weight loss.

I don’t have any interest whatsoever in your diet or your weight loss attempts or successes.  But I am interested in your struggles with loving yourself and your body in a world that teaches you to hate it.  Therefore, I am certainly interested in your experiences trying to avoid what my dear friend Heidi calls the siren song of dieting.

So with that, again, welcome! I truly do look forward to getting to know you better, and I hope that the crossing of our paths in this little internet nook will be encouraging, live-giving, challenging, and edifying for both of us.
