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…

Inklings
"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…
Thirty-Ducking-Eight
You know what, I haven't had a reason to take a selfie since I stopped posting on social media. But I'm taking one today because I’m having a good hair day and what better reason to shoot a selfie than when you’re experiencing your best self. Anyway, today I’m thinking about the fact that I'm…
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…
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.

Thursday Thoughts on 30 Days
Alright. I made it. Ish. No, I think I can say I actually made it through the 30 day yoga journey even if I only completed 25 days in said 30. Turns out I do feel kind of proud of myself for actually doing it. And I could sit here and tell you everything that…
Pick Up Where You Throw Down
I don’t have too much to share today because, well, I’m in the throws of COVID recovery. If I haven’t mentioned it before- fucking COVID. Anyway, today is much better than yesterday but when I start feeling better I tend to be an over-doer and I definitely over did it. My bed space is calling…
Thursday Afterthoughts
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…
Rest Well
I soap box a lot about the importance of honoring rest and restoration and also the fact that it will look different for everyone so I wanted to share what that looked like for me over the weekend because I found immense joy in quite simple things and instead of just saying “rest” I thought…
