Boundless Boundaries

This post is just gonna be a short and sweet little ditty. Nothing profound, just more of a checking in of sorts to let y'all know I'm still around and that writing still soothes my soul. But this past month has been a huge lesson in recognizing limits and setting priorities when it comes to…

Abandoning Wagons

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…

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…

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…

What a Tease

Alright, I don't typically enjoy the whole: "I have something up my sleeve but I'm not going to tell you yet but trust me you want to know" and capitalizing on the idea of FOMO type deals, but I'm not against it enough to not do it. So I'm just going to dive right in…

Smoking Gun

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…

Diabolically Dialectical

*Trigger Warning: This post does present some thoughts that may be triggering for some. I can't say for sure how someone might be triggered by this blog but I suspect it would bring out defensive instincts in those who have been led to believe that they are either with us or against us and there…

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. 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.…

Social Deadly Sins

Sometimes its hard to blog about my opinion and my experiences without sounding like I'm on a "holier than thou" rampage. But I guess that's the internet in a nut shell so, what the hell. Mental health and social media. I feel like those two go together like oil and water which is to say…

Rooting for Wings

You know what I've been thinking about? This meme or post or quote I once saw on Facebook that had written in huge bold letters something to the effect of: “DON’T YELL AT YOUR KIDS AND THEN EXPECT THEM TO HAVE A GOOD DAY.” And when I saw it my initial reaction was, “that's a…
