• Be tough.

    No crying. You sound like a baby. Forget about it. You’re fine. What’s the matter with you? You’re too sensitive. Things I’ll never say to my kids. As a kid myself, I was very sensitive. And very attached to my mom. Separation anxiety was real for me. Being emotional at home was always okay. But…

  • Remember when

    The laughs never ended. A constant ping pong game of sorts. You served hilarity, I laughed until tears were moving down my face, until my stomach cramped from the continual jolting of laughter coming out of my body. I was ready for the set up as soon as I could get the words out. I…

  • 38/f/ut

    Pleeeeease tell me you were old enough to experience the phenomenon that was AOL chat! Otherwise, this title probably makes no sense at all. I really hope I got the format right. It’s only been 25 years or so since I logged in. And the screen names!!! Gahhh. We were told for internet safety reasons,…

  • Boy,

    oh boy. School is back in session! I haven’t posted here all summer. I’ve been running these babes around, helping them live their best lives. I also gave the blog a facelift. She’s demure. Cutesy. Classic. I’ve been writing so much, I don’t even know where to start. Welcome back! Is there anything you guys…

  • Today I Cried

    and it felt good. My eyes are dry. Burning still. I was feeling some big feelings. Actually, just sad. I was feeling big sad. I did some writing. It felt good putting it on paper. Putting words to it all. I wrote out some affirmations too. All the sad feelings that had manifested in my…

  • The Memories

    I won’t let them fade. I don’t even like purple. It’s not my color. My blog is purple. Like a neutral purple maybe? Hmm. I’ll overthink that one later. I think a human experience we all share, is that we don’t want our (good) memories to fade. It’s all we have left of places, people,…

  • A Journey For the Heart

    Exhale. I. feel. so. good. It’s hard to describe. I’ve shared over and over that I’ve been putting in the work on my menty health. I sound like a broken record, I know. I’m not crazy. I’m not delusional. I haven’t made any of it up. I’m not in trouble. I’m not broken. In fact,…

  • Hello Alice, how you been?

    I’m sinking further down the rabbit hole Such a good song. I’ll link below. You’re in for a treat! I’m going to post a couple times this week about my latest journey’s. I have been so emotionally tapped I haven’t been able to sit down and write like I’ve wanted. I’ve had lots to process…

  • Let’s journey.

    Well, I am but you don’t have to. Ya know, it took me about 30 seconds to decide I am going to take you along my latest menty health journey. I’ve read all about it for the last 2 years. I’ve talked with my therapist about trying it for some time. And now I am…

  • It’s fine. Everything is fine.

    Nothing to see here. I think because I can see the glimmers now, it’s been easier for me to share the ugly stuff here. I can see where I’ve really done the work. Even though there is always work to be done. I have never been good at putting my feelings on the shelf, stuffing…
