Hope, respect, love, and a little fitness, too.

Welcome!

Change the Tape is an online journal, a sounding board, and a fitness blog. I bring awareness to causes near and dear. I ask questions and give guidance (when appropriate); I express my views and I always welcome feedback.

I come here to change my tape when I’m feeling uncertain or need a hit of positivity; when I just want to express myself or when I want to start a conversation.

I hope you read something here that changes your tape for the better.
