A BIG thank you to all of the active Amazon shoppers in all three countries where I have links that support the show. I ask for prayers and positive thoughts for Mark's special relative. I let go of mindless, automatic eating. We hear from a couple of BCs we haven't heard from in a while, Helen from the UK and Jo, who is originally from the UK, but who now lives and works in Asia. I read a blog post I wrote about letting things go called 'Baby Steps out of a List Slump'. We hear Dawny's reaction to our last show in her own words via Speakpipe. More comment reactions from Fionna, our talented songwriter, Stéfanie from Quebec and Dave, who asks Mark a question. We initiate a brand new feature called the BC Bravery Sports Report. Dawny tells what wogging her half marathon felt like. Mark answers BC Dave's question. A sound sample from my new big girl mic in my newly completed recording space.

I advise skipping the letting go segment today if you are already in an iffy mood. It is ironic that when I gave my binge recovery tips on Day 103 I hadn't HAD a binge myself for months, and truthfully, I had forgotten the hurricane force of this type of binge. I can't even call it a visit from the robot aliens, but rather, a full on invasion. Sigh.

Dawny and Patt step in to represent the kindness of BCs by greeting Phoebe right away.
