Why am I here, in the city by the lake- for love's sake? Or something a little less complicated. I came for you, for me- so we could be something more than ourselves, together. These buildings echo your name, the soil holds its sway and I have no way to find a path through without you. It scares me to know that I'd rather be alone and somewhere else, than here. How do we reconcile this? It was always you and me, but I cannot be who I am when I am here. Your roots dig deep, but there is change on the wind and you never bend even to my tears. I should not have come here, for love's sake alone- love alone is no longer enough.

She said that I am like warm honey Now I want to put golden highlights in my hair, just around the face and lay in the sun in North Carolina I am craving sweet tea and hand holding and those soft green hills I left so much behind She said I had the world fooled but I think the world fooled me

The wondrous Molly McCaffrey asked me to be a guest writer for her blog "I Will Not Diet" and I wholeheartedly obliged. "I Will Not Diet" is Molly's account of maintaining an active lifestyle and balanced diet in order to keep her weight under control and stay healthy. She absolutely refuses to diet, or deprive herself of simple pleasures. It's amazing to read her discussions about her personal struggles, as well as her opinion on the way women treat themselves in today's society. "The Catwalk" discusses some of my experiences so far as a plus-size model and, I hope, compliments the purpose of Molly's blog. Please take a look a my guest blog spot, as well as the other episodes Molly has written and tell us what you think. The Catwalk- written by Courtney Butler, guest blogger for "I Will Not Diet"
