I am gonna use an analogy here and the analogy is between cigarettes and social media. I know it sounds like it's gonna be weird but I think that it's gonna make sense. Bear with me as I fumble through this one and start with, you guessed it, a quick backstory: I used to ask…

Out of Office
One of the ways I honor my mental health is by resting. I mean could I say that I am a rest advocate again for the cheap seats in the back? Anyway. This week we are taking an actual spring break in an actual different state so I’m going to put this blog on vacation…
Time Out
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…
Deciding Factor
I am typing this blog as I sit in my bed having just completed my nightly-ish yoga routine wondering what the fuck happened to this weekend and if we can just collectively agree that its Saturday and give ourselves another chance at Sunday. I have been feeling quite anxious and rushed. There is this urgency…
Once Upon a Time
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.

Mental Health Mondays
You know how sometimes things run their course? Like you’ve taken them as far as they can go and continuing the charade would just be redundant and oh I don’t know, embarrassing and annoying to everyone involved? Like hearing about it for the zillionth time would prompt the following Simon Cowell reaction? Well that’s how…
Fade to Black
This week's re-run (a post from August of 2017) is evidence that I have battled with social media for yeeeeeears and also that I have promoted social media sabbaticals for an equal length of time. So, without further ado… I mostly love being connected on social media. Sure, it has its flaws, but everything does.…
Guest Blog Post: A Rainy Day Story
Alright, this week I thought I'd bring on a guest blogger who is just as fabulous as can be and when I read this post I thought "Everyone needs to read this post." It was originally posted by Wonders of the Woodland which you should definitely be checking out. And also, my nonprofit, Love Will…
A (real) Birth Story
I’m doing a little re-run series because I want to post consistently but I don’t have enough posts yet to keep ’em coming so we are gonna share some words that I wrote way back when and breathe some new life into them. This is one of my biggest blogs to date. And by that…
