Hey there!

This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

  • 2017-11-11 The Phone Call that Changed Everything

    Sometimes we look back at moments in our lives and realize there was a particular occurance or decision or person that had a huge impact. Something so significant, it altered the course of our path and perhaps put us going in a new direction. Many times we don’t even realize those moments until weeks, months,…

  • 2017-11-10 The Good, the Bad, and the Really, Really Ugly

    Let’s start with really, really ugly.. This morning when I woke up the temperature outside was 21 degrees. Brrrrrr, what?! Sometimes I wonder why I even live here since I hate the cold so, so much. I think the answer is/was family way back when, but now it’s definitely the kids. When they are grown…

  • 2017-11-09 How I Really Feel

    The major disclaimer that I professed when I started this blog is that it would contain my raw, unedited feelings about everything that I have gone through and everything that I am going through. I do make an effort to keep things as transparent as possible and as “readable” as possible, but some days that’s…

  • 2017-11-08 Back to My Reality

    We are now returning you to your regularly scheduled programming. We hope you have enjoyed the brief, albeit exciting (for us), change in scenery for the past 8 days. Be on the lookout for more diverse sites, sounds, and feels from our traveling corespondent, Miss SugarCookie, soon. *** Today was all about easing my kids…

  • 2017-11-07 The Best and Worst of Maui

    OK, folks, it’s the moment you have all been waiting for. All the best and all the worst of our little Maui adventure. (and yes, despite 8 days of awesomeness, there were definitely some “worst” moments). Eight days is a long time to try and remember everything. I’ve covered the highlight of each day, but…

  • 2017-11-06 Maui Day 8 🚁⛰️

    Going out with a bang today. As if everything we have done thus far is not enough, I decided we needed to end on a super high note. Like flawlessly executing that killer line, dropping the mic, and walking off stage. We had to get up super early today to get to Lahaina for a…

  • 2017-11-05 Maui Day 7 😴🚶‍♀️💻🌊🌴🍕🌅🍨

    Who needs to write a blog when you’ve got emojis? This is the first week that I’ve tried inserting them into my titles. A bit of foreshadowing about what the theme for the day was. As far as today goes, they really do tell the story… 😴 I slept in (well, as much as I…

  • 2017-11-04 Maui Day 6, Return from Hana 🌅🚘🌅

    Today started with the sunrise on the east coast and ended with the sunset on the west coast. In truth, it was less about the trip back from Hana to Kihei and more just about feeling glad to be returning “home”. Our evening in Hana was good, but being on the east coast, once the…

  • 2017-11-03 Maui Day 5, The Hana Edition 🚘

    Today we had our cake and we ate it too! I have often said (and as recently as in the last couple of days) that life is about the journey and not necessarily about the destination. However, our day today proves that it can be BOTH. When we woke up today the plan was to…

  • 2017-11-02 Maui Day 4 🌋

    Of all the things to see and do while in Maui, visiting the volcanic area that is Haleakala was in the top three on my list. I say “was” because as of right now, that’s done and in the rearview. Today we got an earlier start that any day thus far and were on the…

  • 2017-11-01 Maui Day 3 🚧

    We had quite an adventure today. Since we decided to visit the volcano tomorrow, due to the forecast, the plan for the day was pretty open. Z wanted to go to a couple places way up north on the northwest part of the island that she saw on a YouTube video earlier in the year…

  • 2017-10-31 Maui Day 2 🏖️

    Our second full day on Maui is coming to a close and though we had very similar activities to yesterday, the day felt very different. Yesterday we visited two beaches near Kihei. It was very casual and we were just getting acclimated to the ocean waves. Today we travelled north and west and visited two…
