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…

  • 2017-09-17 Austin Day 4: Sunday Wake Up

    I woke up at 6AM at the conclusion of a dream I was having about a situation of injustice surrounding a child who did not have a voice of their own to defend what was happening to them. I had been trying tirelessly for hours to plead with the people around him or her to…

  • 2017-09-16 Austin Day 3: A Well Balanced Life

    Last night we had a very casual Friday evening with the kids. We talked and played and watched a movie and then after they went to bed Rebecca and I sat out on the deck and continued chatting over a bottle of wine. I kept mine to just a few glasses because I’m really intending…

  • 2017-09-15 Austin Day 2: Connections and Perspective

    Yesterday I met with Jill and Jason and met their little darlings for the first time. They are friends of mine who I know because of Matt and that’s a story that repeats as people come together and break apart. New friendships are formed, others fade away. I wrote a poem last valentines day about…

  • 2017-09-14 Austin Day 1: Challenging My Limits

    I’ve been up since 4 and it’s not even 7pm but I’m wiped out. I had a really nice lunch with Rebecca and we covered a number of topics, all of which I know we will go deeper on over the next few days. That was followed by a wonderful afternoon catching up with Jill…

  • 2017-09-14 To Austin!

    Despite getting up ridiculously early, I’m in really good spirits. I’m headed for my home away from home. I’m headed to rest, relaxation, and rejuvenation with my Texas Bestie, Rebecca, and her lively crew. This is my second trip this year, the first being in mid-May. At that time I probably wrote all there is…

  • 2017-09-13 I Have More To Say About That

    Ever since I went to the concert last night I feel like I’ve been on the edge of some really heavy emotions. I eluded to that in my post earlier today about not apologizing for feeling the way I do or sometime wearing my heart on my sleeve, as they say. I wrote a little…

  • 2017-09-13 No Apologies

    Last night I went to the Ed Sheehan concert and took Z with me. It was her first big concert and so that was a pretty big deal. We both got dressed up really nice, me in a dress I have not worn in about five years and her in her homecoming dress from last…

  • 2017-09-12 The “Big” Question

    The crossroads. The decision. The thing that will change all other things to come. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one question. That’s putting a lot of pressure on one’s self. That is what thinking about what my next “career” move feels like. I’ve adequately filled up this months to-do list with things that…

  • 2017-09-11 Sixteen Years Ago Today

    Sixteen years ago, about this time of the day I was sitting in a perpetually unbearable conference room in a temporary building being rented by the health system to accommodate an overflow of people needed to support a number of mission critical implementation projects. I was pregnant with Z and still in the first trimester.…

  • 2017-09-10 Sunday Status Update

    I have not done actual stats in a while and since things are taking a turn for the better, it’s a good time for it. How does this go again? Exercise… Step Count: 13K today Highest Day This Week: 24,118 Lowest Day This Week: 1926 😛 Seven Day Average: 15,595 28 Day Average: 17,693 Maybe…

  • 2017-09-09 A Fine Time on Nine Nine

    Today I woke up early (surprise surprise), but it was OK because I went to bed early so I achieved over nine hours of sleep. That’s a thing that seems to be steadily getting better and I’ve called out the key factors on this before but it bears repeating… 1.) What is on my brain…

  • 2017-09-08 On Social Anxiety and Meeting People

    It has been a while since I woke up before 6AM, which feels like a really good thing. I feel like I am in a much better place than I was a month ago or two months ago and certainly a world away from where I was at in January. I’ve been fighting my way…
