I am a happily married Mama of two awesome kids, trying a find a way to coexist within a world full of things I fear. Anxiety might as well be my middle name, but now I want to move on from this long chapter in my life and learn to live again, or maybe even for the first time.

Photo by Estée Janssens on Unsplash   Greetings!   Hello, to you, and I hope you're doing well! I am sitting in complete shock right now and a little embarrassed. Since I am not yet the greatest at navigating my entire website, I tend to overlook things. I also took such a long break that I haven't gotten caught up. The shocking thing to me is that I have a bunch of comments. In my...

Give Me Your Beautiful Writing

  Photo by Aaron Burden on Unsplash     It's incredible what words can do. They have the power to spark emotions while, at the same time, expanding our minds. They also have the ability to build us up or destroy us if we let them. I have had many hurtful words thrown my way over the years, and in one particular instance, the person told me, "They're just words." Words can drive...

  Photo by Erriko Boccia on Unsplash       Does it ever seem like you’re waiting for something to happen that never comes? I used to say I felt like Cinderella, but the Ball never came. Something else I’ve found is that it’s never as pleasurable as I imagined when I anticipate something, and it’s almost like the excitement lies in the waiting. One of the only things I...

      In a few months, it will be my 6-year anniversary.  When I think of how my husband and I met, I still marvel at the "coincidences" of how we found each other. The stars were smiling at us, and God must have whispered in my husband's ear that I was the one he was waiting for. He's my best friend, my comforter, my biggest advocate, and my protector.I love Justin Fink so...

  Breaking the Cycle ~finally choosing life again~ Photo by Miguel Bruna on Unsplash It can get frustrating to read the lists of accomplishments others have made while I stayed stuck in this mental cage, barely able to go outdoors unless I have my “safe” person beside me. Even then, everything outside feels foreign. I can’t look into anyone’s eyes, so I stare at their...

I did not recently write this. I found it in my drafts and thought I would post it to remember how far I've come.  Even though I thought I was in a good place when I wrote this, I am in a much better place now. Onward and upward, being gentle with myself about the losses.    I’m More than Just a Walking Mental Illness I’m a human being, just like you, and have feelings too....

  Photo by Abbie Bernet on Unsplash     Do you ever have those days you feel so tired that you wonder if you will ever have any energy again? For me, I freak out a little, thinking I must be headed for another season of low energy. During times where we are tired, it's easy to rush around, trying to get the essential things done, going almost on autopilot. Before we know it, the...
