About Stace

Technically, I’m Stacey Larson. But I prefer Stace.

I’m a work in progress.

I’ve been a pretentious special snowflake. Special in my mind. Probably a pretentious pain for others. That’s when I was Stacey.

Now I’m more aware. There’s no one way. Everyone needs to find what works for them. Me included.

Today, I’m just a snowflake in free fall. Looking down, nervous about the approaching ground. Will I stick the landing?

I’m working through how I think. About myself. About life.

I was diagnosed with MS in 2011. Much of this comes from dealing with it. There’s nothing like the effect an incurable disease has on your life. Your viewpoint about yourself changes.

I’m letting go of the old beliefs, the dogma of certainty regarding fitness and food. I’ve got bits of c-PTSD and anorexic cycles that throw up obstacles. I’m understanding that I’ve undervalued my mindset.

I’m taking my thoughts and discovering more by writing them down. Posting them. Tracking my changes in real-time.

Seth (Godin) said, “Show me your bad work.” It’s an excuse breaker. It’s easier to say I’m bad at something and use it as an excuse not to bother doing it.

Seth’s challenge: be ballsy. Show us your bad work. Stand up. Do it. Everyone has to practice to gain skills. He’s saying we all start bad before we get good.

This is me. A work in progress. Practicing, failing, getting better. Here’s my bad writing as I work to become a better me.
