Grief sucks. It comes in many forms and for many reasons but it never doesn’t suck. The most accurate description I’ve heard and the one I repeat most often is that grief comes in waves. At first, the waves are so large and so frequent it’s hard to keep your head above water. With time,Continue reading “Grief. That MFer.”

let it out.
I was going to call this “let it go” but then I would have had to belt out the song and honestly, my family gets enough of that nonsense. Last I posted two weeks ago, I wasn’t quite myself, I felt like I was drowning but I’m here to tell you its better. The dayContinue reading “let it out.”
can’t choose a title.
My brain is in a million places and in response to that anxiety it is also avoiding everything possible. A mental health paradox I suppose. I couldn’t decide on what to call this post though some examples would be: unhealthy avoidance 1 million mental pounds everything feels overwhelming FUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCKKKKKK So I avoided choosing and justContinue reading “can’t choose a title.”
brave.
Bravery exists in so many forms. Sometimes is trying something new. Other times it’s knowing enough about yourself not to try. Whatever form it takes, it’s always pretty amazing. We started our trip by hitting H2OBX (water park) on our way down to the Outer Banks yesterday. Before we had even left the hotel, myContinue reading “brave.”
brain train.
I believe the correct term for this is “racing thoughts” but in the wee hours of the morning I think of it as the brain train that I can’t seem to catch. Anxiety takes many forms and one of mine is racing thoughts that don’t even get finished before the next one starts. Picture standingContinue reading “brain train.”
superpowers.
During a recent conversation with my son we talked about the power of kindness and how a compliment can impact someone so deeply. It got me thinking about how we all have the power to impact someone else in a positive way and that makes humans pretty incredible. While we were in the car onContinue reading “superpowers.”
soul magic.
There are certain things in life that just fill my soul with an immediate sense of peace and joy. They are constant and do this for me every single time, the things I look to when I need a little soul magic. I suppose you could say these are a few of my favorite things..Continue reading “soul magic.”
not. today.
Today I will do what I want. I will not do what I don’t want…. with the exception of getting groceries and making dinner. All week I’ve been feeling raw. Like an exposed nerve that is overreactive to the slightest stimuli. Maybe I need my meds adjusted, its on my list of “to-dos”. Feeling likeContinue reading “not. today.”
organization.
Apparently my zodiac sign failed to bless me with the gift of organization and simply made me a woman with control issues but no motivation or follow through. Thanks for nothing, Virgo. My head is very often filled with ideas of what I want my house to look like and I can actually FEEL theContinue reading “organization.”
new normal. again.
For 14 months we have been hearing the phrase “the new normal”. Oddly enough, the new normal keeps changing and now we are almost back to “old normal”? I think? The CDC released guidance today indicating that if you are fully vaccinated you can resume pre-pandemic activities without social distancing or masks in most situationsContinue reading “new normal. again.”
