Well today's post is going to be super short and semi sweet. Well I don't know about the sweet part but I liked the sound of all the s's together. It will also be full of 'tense hopping' because I can't seem to figure out if loss is past or present and if grief is…
Monday Mourning
Troll Whisperer
Alright, this post is half serious and half giving a finger to the haters. I'm gonna go ahead and make it weird by doing a little Q&A about me by me. Is everyone going to get on board with mental health? No. Is everyone going to understand invisible illnesses? Of course not. Does that bother…
Super Powers
It turns out that I do comment on trending news topics more than I care to admit. It is such a fine line to not let political happenings infiltrate my inner peace while also fighting to secure a future I want my children to experience. In fact, where is the line between, "I don't care…
Inklings
"Biblical hope and practical help." I read that today on the back of a pocket-sized devotional my counselor recommended and if isn’t just so damn powerful then I don’t know what is. I feel like that summarizes my mental health journey so beautifully. I was hoping I would be able to tie that in with…
Love, PTSD
In lieu of a Re-run Tuesday, I'm posting about something that strips away my layers and makes me feel raw and vulnerable. I’m working on embracing these feelings and so even though all the alarms are sounding off in my head to keep quiet, I’m not going to. I have a feeling that a few…
Staying in Lanes
I finally made it to counseling last week. I was telling my counselor how I essentially fall off my rocker if I go too long between therapy sessions and she said that I am not the only one with that experience. She said that she likes to think of counseling as a dock that allows…
Thirty-Ducking-Eight
You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…
Getting There
This week's re-run includes an old school family pic circa 2019, B.C. (before Corona) because why not? We are even more "there" than we were when I wrote this in November 2019 and here are a few updates: Since then my youngest child is now six years old, all of said children are in school…
Therapy Matters
I think I have figured it out. I mentioned that lately, I've been feeling off. I guess that means I feel like I'm floating and am in fact, not feeling. When I do feel it is a one of overwhelm. I have been scratching my head- so to speak- racking my brain as to why…
Try if You Dare
This week’s re-run is a reminder as to why I never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, ever go to the store with more than one or two or zero kids. Once upon a time I did but truly I don't know how or why I ever did such things to myself. Alllllllllso. Since this was…
