So, well, um ... if you haven't heard, there's quite a bit of buzz going around about our privacy (and not just the privacy of American's, but that of the world). It's a slight bit unsettling, y'know? Not just a little off-handedly, I suggested on the Crunchy Betty Facebook page that we should all take three days AWAY from our phones, computers, televisions, gaming consoles, and anything that could collect data on us, perhaps a little out of protest, but a lot out of reconnecting with ...

Do You Have Cart Anxiety? (Deal With It) – Part 2
It's of utmost importance that I be transparent with you all right now, and not just about the pair of parachute pants I still own from 1987. No, the truth you should know is this: If there was one thing I would want to change in this world, it would be the "food wars" we wage against each other. In fact, this might be my new mission in life: To join the human race in one connecting truth. The truth that we're all doing the best we can with what we believe in any given moment of our lives ...

Hear Me, For I Am The Nudge
Yesterday, I stood up in front of 500 people and asked a question that changed my life. And, you know, if you're going to stand up in front of 500 people, it had better be a danged good question.

You feel something inside of you. A push, a nudge, a voice, or a concrete wordless knowing that you're moving in a ... Continue Reading
Oh, The Things You Can Make If Only You Try
There's a distinct possibility that the books in the Healthy Living eBook Bundle contain the secrets of motivation and inspiration. Nay, the secrets of the universe. (Except, of course, where the missing socks are stashed after running through the dryer.) Gaze at the fancy collage again. These are the gateways to awesomeness. These 34 diminutive ebook covers. The other night, as I was writing the post announcing this quick sale, I started to read the books. Really ... Continue Reading

Finally (which also happens to be THE most shared video ever from the Crunchy Betty Facebook ... Continue Reading
The Runs In Your Pantyhose Are a Conspiracy!
We bought a new printer a few months ago. It only made sense, because the ink for my old, terminally dysfunctional printer (which started malfunctioning approximately 2.3 seconds after looking at it out of the box) was going to cost about the same as just buying a new printer. Plus or minus a farthing. Farthings, by the way, equal a haypenny and a sheckel, plus a bag of brussels sprouts. This is commonly known; look it up on any currency exchange site. The old printer is sitting in the ... Continue Reading
