Earlier this week, (my inner dialogue was unhappy)… I feel like I’m standing still, that nothing is changing. I feel like I am not where I think I should be by now - 36 yrs old, no college degree, no career. I feel like I’m not being productive, that somehow I am failing at life, … Continue reading I Was Face-Palmed Back To Life

Not My Monkeys
I realized something about myself recently… I have a “hero” complex. Here is a common scenario: someone is experiencing drama, I rush in with my opinion to help them, but I end up feeling as shitty as they do after going around and around the crazy drama wheel. Here is another scenario: the school sends … Continue reading Not My Monkeys

Good Grief… Or Something
It was a long week… a brutally long, sad, achy, fevered week. (I actually had a high fever and a head ache all week. Not awesome.) I don’t mean to say this in a complainy way, because that isn’t what I’m feeling. I’m not feeling whiny at all. I’m just… FEELING. This whole week was … Continue reading Good Grief… Or Something
Don’t Fear the Flow
“The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak” is the theme of this blog post. I caught whatever plague is spreading through the school these days. Everything hurts and I’m dying. Ok, not dying, but my energy tanks have been flashing the “empty” warning light at me for a couple of days. My face … Continue reading Don’t Fear the Flow
Powerful Words

Honestly, I was relieved when my kids learned how to read for themselves. I was so tired of reading the same books over and over… some were so heavily favored, I … Continue reading Powerful Words
He Said, She Said, but Nobody Really Knows
Why is communicating so difficult? I’m talking about the spoken communication between human beings. Why is it so hard? Talking is one of the first, basic things we learn to do as youngsters… we eat, sleep, poop, crawl, learn to talk. In my case, I learned to talk before I could crawl. Well, I had … Continue reading He Said, She Said, but Nobody Really Knows
The Setup
Hello, friends! This blog post was not easily forthcoming this week. Once I finished sharing most of my awakening backstory with you in previous posts, I wasn’t really sure which direction this blog would go. I just kind of launched myself, like a base jumper, out into the blogosphere before fear could talk me out … Continue reading The Setup

Welcome back, friends! I have been itching to publish this post for a whole week! Why? Because I am SO EXCITED to share with you the continuing story of my death and resurrection! (Hey, Jesus isn’t the only one who can rise from the dead. I don’t mean to be sacrilegious or anything, but in … Continue reading Do ALL The Things! (The Year of Finding Me)
