A Love Poem To Myself

Posted on August 16, 2018August 16, 2018

I stumbled on this in a journal the other day and since finding it I’ve read it over and over again. It reminds me of all the beauty in my life that honestly I sometimes overlook or refuse to see. We have so many little blessings around us but are often to busy to even […]

Solo I Go In 4 Weeks

Posted on August 7, 2018August 7, 2018

Holy Cow. 4 weeks until I leave. School starts back in one. Crap. I really should have done more of planning on the front end – when I first made the decision to do this –  but honestly I kept putting off investing money so if I backed out I wouldn’t have flushed money down […]

Why Are You Doing This?

Posted on July 24, 2018September 20, 2018

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.” Steve Jobs This […]

A Day of Anxiety

Posted on June 8, 2018June 8, 2018

I wrote this post on May 14, 2018 but didn’t post it. I do this often. Write posts about the darkness but keep them to myself. That’s what people with depression often do – keep it to themselves when they need to share it to have support to get through the darkness. Others often carry […]

Marionette

Posted on May 30, 2018May 30, 2018

This was written in November of 2017 – 8 months ago. I’m in a much better place now and honestly when I read this I thought to myself – I didn’t write these words. I did and I’m damn proud of myself that I found my way out of this. To free myself I must […]

Into The Great Wide Open I Go

Posted on April 26, 2018May 22, 2018

September I’m taking a trip that I had planned on taking thirteen years ago. Before marriage, two children and two careers I dreamed of exploring the west. I know not exotic or international but at the time I wasn’t thinking as big as time has now allowed me to dream. I just knew I thought […]

Music Monday: Brain Damage

Posted on June 26, 2017July 15, 2017

The lunatic is in my head The lunatic is in my head You raise the blade, You make the change You rearrange me ’til I’m sane You lock the door And throw away the key There’s someone in my head but it’s not me -Pink Floyd. “Brain Damage” There are two women that live inside […]

A Journey with Depression

Posted on February 20, 2017February 20, 2017

Depression is real. It is not a crutch people lean on when they are sad. She is a bitch and very real. She’s a seed that slowly finds her way deep within you. She finds pain to feed her need to grow. She pulls that pain in and inside her branches of self hatred rip […]

When My Bipolar Gets The Best of Me

Posted on June 13, 2016June 9, 2016

It’s days like today that I’m reminded that Bipolar is a stronger beast than I give it credit for at times. A morning of sudden anxiety and harsh tones in my every word. Leave dropoff thinking fourth graders are laughing at my car and Julia. Dreading each minute of a spin class I usually love then […]

A Letter to Mary Jane

Posted on June 9, 2016September 10, 2016

Dear Mary Jane, I wanted to take a minute to say thank you so much for being you. You are a blessing from God and I truly believe this. You help me cope when I’m feeling overwhelmed. After spending a few minutes together it doesn’t seem so bad. I can sort through the important and […]
