Alright y'all. I am getting knee deep in this self-publishing-book-writing idea and I wish I was the kind of person who could do it all. Like write for other publications, this blog, and my book but, alas that is not me. I am the type of person who does better on doing one thing at…

Confession: I reactivated my Facebook account. I know. I know I know I know I know I know. I know. How did such a thing occur? Well. I hopped back on Facebook around the time the seasons were transforming from frigid temperatures to blooming trees. It all started with insomnia and lots and lots of…

"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…

This week’s re-run was fun for me to re-read. My kids don’t really have these easy to answer questions and demands anymore. I kind of miss debating with my littles about why we stop at red lights and why we don’t eat raw meat. Time has flown way too fast and my littles are not…
It's Mental Health Monday and here's where I am today. Brain, tired. Words, hard. Not falling asleep where I stand, challenging. Decision making skills, gone. Flexibility and adaptability, minimal. Quick back story: My #1 had an unexpected appendicitis this past weekend. Now, is appendicitis ever expected? Probably not but my ability to configure adjectives here…

This week’s re-run marks when I began testing the waters of being myself online and on this blog. I was curious how it would be received and if I'd lose readers. But ultimately I have decided that I am sarcastic, at times inappropriate, and enjoy profanity. Why not curate a space where we can all…

Dearest children of the 21st century, The story I am about to tell you is truly earth shattering. Have a seat. Once upon a time…there was a world. A world I like to call B.F. And in this Before Facebook world, believe it or not, we took pictures…on a camera…with a roll of film…that we couldn’t see.…
