I’ve been doing pretty good at getting over my broken heart and moving on with my life. Every so often shit happens and I feel knocked back down. The downside? Feeling knocked back down. The upside? The way I feel has absolutely nothing to do with him. In fact, I rarely think about him anymore. [...]

Thankful Thursday – I sense a theme…
October 13th, 2011 
bekkib73 My last couple posts have been about me making progress in my training and work outs. But there is emotional progress going on as well. I finally feel at peace. With my new life. With the way things have turned out. With the fact that a chapter in my life is over. Don’t get me [...]

2 Comments »I told you I had amazing friends
September 30th, 2011 bekkib73 So, yesterday I worked a full, and rough day. I left work feeling like I knew very little about my field. (which is true, but I felt really bad about it yesterday when I left work, which was in addition to the sadness I am feeling about this coming weekend). I told you in my [...]
Thankful Thursday – Friends
September 29th, 2011 bekkib73 I really am a very lucky woman. I have the most amazing friends on the planet. Their love and support through these last couple of painful months has been nothing short of incredible. There are the friends I’ve known since I was in my early 20′s. These ladies will always be in my life. We [...]
Angry
September 20th, 2011 bekkib73 I’m going to finally come out and say what I’m not supposed to. I’m angry at the universe. Pissed off. Seeing red. Heated. Incensed. Infuriated. Resentful. There are all these books and inspirational blogs that tout the benefits of practicing gratitude. They say your life will overflow with abundance when you are grateful for what [...]
Random musings
September 12th, 2011 bekkib73 I’ve got a major case of writer’s block. However, I refuse to give the reason for it anymore time or attention on my blog. I had even contemplated shutting down Wild Child Gone Good, because at times I feel like I might never be able to write again. But several friends persuaded me otherwise. So [...]

Blog Faux Pas
August 27th, 2011 bekkib73 Shhh – *whispers* I’m about to commit a bloggy faux pas… you’ve been warned… So there’s something you are not supposed to do on a blog, and that is call attention to the fact that you haven’t been posting on a regular basis. Guess what? If you are a regular reader, you know I haven’t [...]
Don’t ever give up
August 12th, 2011 bekkib73 The other day I saw ViewSport tweet that I inspired a blog post for them. (I tried to link to the post, but I was unable to. So go to their website, and click on the blog menu icon to find the post on the ViewSport site.) It feels weird that I inspired anything right [...]
Thankful Thursday – Goats!
August 11th, 2011 bekkib73 I know you are thinking, umm what? She’s thankful for goats? Haha! Read on… The following is the definition of random event… This morning I was getting ready for work, and getting fashion advice on twitter (c’mon, y’all aren’t really surprised at my twitter-diction are you? *tee hee*), and I was running a couple minutes [...]
What I learned (so far)
August 9th, 2011 bekkib73 This morning I was getting ready for coffee with a friend, and at the same time was also on Twitter (because let’s be real, I am a total multitasker, and completely twitter-dicted), when I saw this: “When the unexpected happens, give it an empowering meaning. U are not a victim, but a powerful co-creator.” (Mastin [...]
