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…

  • 2017-05-26 I Did It!

    I finally quit my job. Yesterday was an interesting day. I had to talk myself, one last time, into pulling the trigger. If you are following along, you had a front row seat for that pep-talk in the morning before I went to work. It was a much easier thing to be excited about on…

  • 2017-05-25 No Day Like Today for a Change

    When I went to sleep last night, it was late and I was tired and I felt completely drained emotionally from the last few days. I’ve been up and down and around the block with these life questions and really felt I was at the end of what I could possibly take. Truth be told,…

  • 2017-05-23 Looking Ahead

    A week ago I was heading back from Austin and super pumped about the future, and today I just feel very blah. I decided to ask for sabbatical instead of just quitting and have heard nothing on that. I don’t know what I expected to hear and how soon, but waiting is not my cup…

  • 2017-05-22 In a Galaxy Far, Far Away

    Sometimes you see someone you have not seen in a really long time and they have their kid with them and the last time you saw them he or she was just a baby. You realize when you look this snarky teenager up and down that 15 years have gone by. How could that be?…

  • 2017-05-21 Orion’s Belt

    Last night Z and I were watching “Stranger Things” and at the end of one of the episode the camera pans up to the sky. It’s a sky full of stars. My heart sinks just a little. Looking up at the stars was one of those things I loved to do with Matt. Whether it…

  • 2017-05-20 No Risk, No Reward

    I have a wonderful friend from back in the day. I’m going to call her, Princess KK Now Princess KK is smart, successful, and also quite funny. She’s pretty and clever and lives somewhere not so sunny. We don’t chat very often, in-fact, almost never Because we are far apart and, of course, busy as…

  • 2017-05-18 The Ledge

    I’m standing on it. I’ve been inching closer and closer in the past few weeks and now I am peering down into the abyss. But I’m no longer scared. I think I’ve had trepidation and fear and somehow in the last week, I have gained the clarity I’ve needed to overcome those feelings and really…

  • 2017-05-16 Relaxing to the Sound of Storms

    It’s one of my favorite things. There is nothing like a spring thunderstorm in the midwest. They usually roll into an area with very little notice and most times, it looks and sounds like all hell is breaking loose. Then once the front passes, it can be hours of rain and low thunder. Tonight is…

  • 2017-05-16 To Market, To Market..

    To buy a fat pig. Home again, home again, Jiggety-jig. I’ve mostly gotten out of the habit of reading my last blog post when I open my laptop to write the next one. It’s really in the interest of time. If I start by reading, the next thing I know I’m editing and then comes…

  • 2017-05-15 Austin – Monday’s Are Different Here

    For real yo! OK So the truth is, it is 11:PM at night and I’ve got a solid buzz and hopped on thoughts and feels. Tomorrow I have to go back home and face reality. Tomorrow I have to go back home and belly back up to the office environment I have come to hate…

  • 2017-05-15 Austin – Mother’s Day Sunday Fun Day

    It appears that each of my blog posts are a day behind. I’m writing about yesterday when I wake up and that’s probably because I don’t want to miss a minute of the action during the day/evening to write. This time is no exception. By the time I got up yesterday morning the bounce house…

  • 2017-05-14 Austin – It Just Keeps Getting Better

    I woke up on Saturday after a glorious 9 hours of sleep. I can’t tell you when the last time it was I had 9 hours. Friday after work we went to a place called Stubbs which is an outside BBQ place where they not only serve drinks but also have a play are and…
