I’ve never been good at absolutes like getting on my mat every morning. I can usually talk myself out of things that make me feel better by explaining them away as a need for rest. I’m not gonna lie, it’s been difficult to discern whether I need rest or if my depression is keeping me…

I get skiddish when I meet new people and then we become Facebook friends -mostly because I go and friend ‘em on Facebook. I suppose that makes me a bit of a massichist but let’s put a pin in that for now. I also find myself uncomfortable when my co-existing online and real life friends…

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…

Well if there’s one thing you can count on around here it’s that I’m not always meeting my goals which is how Thursday Thoughts turned itself today into Friday’s afterthought. It seems there are more things to do than hours in the day and that just never stops being true. Not only do I run…
