Back in January, I posted about the start of my SIBO journey. (https://www.leahcutter.com/my-continuing-food-journey/) This is an update. It may contain TMI for some of y’all, as I’m going to talk about food, diet, and bodily functions. As I said in the previous post, my main focus has been on increasing my gut motility. Basically, this […]

I read 32 books over the course of 2025. That’s a little low for me. However, when I look at my Kindle, I see half a dozen books that I read at least 50% or more of and just never finished. Usually it was because the main character moved from being interesting to being too

I’m currently sick with a sinus infection. While I’m unhappy that I’m still sick, I’m still kind of okay with it. Let me give you some of my history with sinus infections. Back in April of 2004, I came down with a sinus infection. Because I don’t present like a normal person when it comes
I’ve read more than account by people saying things like, “Sure, that was the most difficult/challenging/awful time of my life, but now, I’m grateful for it!” I kept thinking that there was something wrong with me, because I didn’t feel that way about last year. Not at all. It was a horrible. Period. Both Blaze

This was probably one of the smarter decisions of my life. I do not regret lowering my caffeine intake. Just this past week,
Essay – Change, The Only Constant As I grow older (not about to claim that I’m wiser) I keep coming back to the idea that change is the only constant. I know, I know. Sounds like a fucking cliché. (And I’m going to apologize in advance for my language. I’m in the middle of writing

So…this landmark occurred. I’m kind of tickled by it. While I’ve used the occasional streak freeze, I haven’t used them very often. No, I’ve done the work, despite sickness, power outages, and travel. I’ve been studying Spanish for about 500 days. (I started off with Hungarian.) Am I fluent? HA! I don’t produce the language
