Something was said to me this weekend that really got me thinking and out of my own head. First, let me set the stage a little bit for you. Every year since I can remember, and even before then via pictures, my family has had a family reunion. It used to be a HUGE affair … Continue reading . unexpected insight and helping hands

.perception
Over the short course of my starting and writing this blog, I have been both put down and praised for it. I have been accused of being a whiny brat & tit bag and a person only writing to get attention and "likes" because it makes me feel better. I have also been praised and … Continue reading .perception

. I was vs I am
-The past cannot be changed, forgotten, edited, or erased; it can only be accepted.

.this too shall pass?
In the midst of an epic little human meltdown, I repeat those words to myself over and over. "This too shall pass, this too shall pass, this too shall pass."
