Alright y'all. This is another one that makes me question my life choices and eternal commitment to shattering the stigma that surrounds mental illness. I think I would rather shy away and pretend like this isn't real. That I don't have this. That I do not experience this. That it is all in my head…

Now that the kids are back to school, I'm finding myself sliding back into old patterns which turns out are crucial to maintaining my mental health. Oh how easily I abandon all routine. I don't know what it is but when my kids lounge around, I lounge around. When my kids can sleep in, I…
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…

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…

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…
