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…

"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…
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…
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…

I have been told a few times: “You really put yourself out there in your writing.” And I’ve been ruminating on that the last few days because what do I write about that gives off that impression? I mean you will never find me talking about specific issues or successes I face in my marriage…

I don't know about your social media feeds but mine is inundated with both memories and reflections of the fact that it is a little over a year since the world was told that it was facing a global pandemic and that the human species would be required to become ZOOM aficionados. And while I…

Reconciling with my changed body is a work in progress and I have worked hard to be kind and accepting to my mid-thirty figure. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ But what is it about a camera lens that takes hard fought for inner peace and turns it into unwavering doubt. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ My daughter snapped this shot while I was…
