One year ago, after almost a year of talking and procrastinating about it, I told the world that I had a blog and that my first two posts were up.  I was excited and nervous, and I was proud and scared.  And I had bigger plans too…I was going to do so many things.  I [...]

I am the first to admit that when I think I’m right, and it is something I am passionate about and that I believe deeply in, it is very hard for me to not be frustrated when someone disagrees with me.  I want to share everything I know about it so that they can understand […]

When I was younger I was very intense; the world was an unfair and scary place and I knew all the ways to fix it if only someone would listen.  Everything was a cause and I was just so damn angry about absolutely everything; I didn’t know how to disagree with something without it needing […]

When I worked as an Executive Assistant at a mental health facility I was still grappling with chronic health issues that led to me needing to take time off on average every couple months.  Sometimes it was a day.  Other times two or three. Every so often it would be an entire week.  The reality [...]

When I run on the treadmill I always do guided runs.  I find stationary cardio SO BORING and find that someone else creating a playlist and planning a run and then chatting to me during the run takes my mind off of it and makes it much more enjoyable.  A few nights ago I did [...]

So here we are…four days into the new year.  Had you made any big resolutions for the year?  Have they already fallen by the wayside or are you still on track? I saw a meme last week that summed up how I felt about resolutions for a really long time, I couldn’t find it to […]

One time, when my mom and step-dad, Brian, first started dating he was moving into a new apartment and was chatting with his new landlord.  I don’t remember all the specifics of how the conversation went (I was 8 when they started dating) but during the course of it they were talking about the best […]

I said I was taking a week off – three weeks ago. Not posting for three weeks was absolutely not the plan; I honestly planned to take ONE WEEK and then be back to it the next. But in true-to-me fashion I vastly overestimated my own capacity for handling some rather time-consuming and unpredictable situations.  […]
