Oh, Monday? Is that you again? Well hello there! I’m glad we’ve made it another week. Another chance to start new, to do better. Another opportunity for honesty and vulnerability during those 2 hours at the end of every Monday night in therapy. The promise of a Monday isn’t subtle. It’s a new start every […]

(This post goes somewhere cool, so hang around for the ride if you’re interested in what I’m trying to get at.) In case you didn’t know, and now you can’t say that you didn’t know, Eminem released a new album at midnight (11pm for me) last night. And ohhhhhhh boy. I am *strong* in my

Writing isn’t my job. It isn’t a requirement. I don’t get paid, I don’t necessarily get anything out of it (other than organizing my thoughts and hopefully finding support)….and yet, I do it. Freely and willingly. Some days are harder than others. Sometimes I have more to say, and the words flow freely….and sometimes, I

Not often, or, actually, probably never, do I start blog posts out with a teaser. But ooooh boy, today is the start of some BIG changes for us. It was sudden, simultaneously discussed for years and impulsive, possibly stupid, but very exciting. I’m officially share about it on Tuesday. But…yeah. I’m beyond excited. And also

Last night, as my husband was just getting home from work, I boldly exclaimed let’s go out! We hard to urgently go to Joann’s, a huge craft store, so I could indulge in my latest crafting expedition. I have nearly every kind of crafting skill, needle art, diamond painting, cross stitching…etc. I’ve turned to creative

Of all holidays, I think that New Years is one that means the most to me. The idea of letting go, of starting over….the concept of hope. And change. It feels powerful. There’s no other day of the year that holds as much promise for change. It’s a day on the calendar, yes. But for
Ready to say goodbye, and reflecting on all that was. Read More »
Sometimes, life gets rough. And it gets you down. And it can be incredibly hard to keep going and keep fighting when it seems like everything that happens, ends poorly. That’s how it’s felt for me lately. Everything is hard. Everything I do is wrong. These things just keep happening. Truly horrible things. My newly

In typical my blog fashion, we’re going to start the week off with another, some sort of, oh, Monday post. My husband left the house to get some work done at 6am this morning, leaving me to get all the kids up and going by myself. That’s not a big deal, it’s something I do,
Is this called progress? Read More »
Yesterday was one of those days that just, all around a good day. The kids didn’t wake me up in the morning. The baby slept through the night. We bought a new camera (I LOVE my Sony a7iii but we wanted something smaller as well), and a new mic. The kids ate their dinner without
If you’ve been following my blog for a while, you might remember me talking about an influence in my life that’s kept me alive for the past almost 15 years. The organization To Write Love On Her Arms has been a part of my life since I was in high school. When I would look
