The holiday has come and gone and I’m back to checking my to-do list. I know I’ve put too much on it and will not be able to get it all done. I’m teetering. I’m not sure if I need to pull back from life a little more or if my answer is to dive…

2021-07-02 Wait a Day and the Forecast Will Change
In case anyone is playing along, I did not let the snafu with my ex go. I sent a follow up text pointing out that he literally contradicted his own “advice” to our son by ignoring my text message. And of course I couldn’t help but throw in that I don’t agree with him and…

I’ve once again navigated the sea of emotions my monthly cycle often laps over me in waves. Gritting my teeth through the frustration of the daily grind, the longing for peace and stillness, and anger when little pricks press into my skin like poorly executed acupuncture.
