  • Another October

    Feels like living in a time warp. I go right back to 2021. I can’t sleep tonight. Too many recycled thoughts that just won’t put themselves to bed. I work to so hard to be so many things. But no matter how hard I try to get out of this sadness, it always finds its…

  • 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…

  • 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…

And for as long…

    Writing was the first coping mechanism I can remember using. Growing up I always had diaries and journals (my sisters can tell you what they said…). As I’d finished one I’d throw it away because of secondhand embarrassment. I never wanted anyone to read them. EXCEPT for one specific journal I’d leave out for my…

  • Good Grief

    Before I get too far into this blog, I’d like to talk about a few things. Not all of my posts will be about grief. But I will use the word a lot. With that being said, a lot of menty health tools that help me, aren’t just for grief. I would consider myself to…

  • one of my favorite things

    Okay, lets get to it. This is a goodie. I would never ever ever tell you to buy something that I don’t actually love, but this one has seriously been a game changer for me. Ask my friends, I’ve told them all about it. But don’t get one because of me. I’m only 1 review.…
