when you least expect it, when you gave in, when you cried, when you thought no one knew, you were left with your strength and you made it through. so smile.

The Guilt of Self Care
Photo by Prasanth Inturi on Pexels.com
Look. I know. I know. I know. Self-care is important. The term is all up and through social media and everyone is talking about self-care. I get it. Yes, it’s important for your mental health. But can we be a little transparent for a moment and say the truth? Or at least I’ll say mine. I feel a little guilty when it comes to doing my self-care.
I don’t…

Travel…luggage or baggage?
My wife certainly has the travel bug. Some would say she is addicted. But me on the other hand. I’m not so sure. My relationship to travel may be a little complicated. I would say I am a moderate traveler. Growing up I never realized just how many places my family would go to. I took it for granted. I thought everyone went places. Nothing exotic or crazy expensive, but we would go on vacation.…

As we all have entered into the new year I am sure most of us are just glad to have survived. This year I want to thrive. In that respect, I have decided I want to thrive by giving a bit more of myself to this blog and seriously taking the time to invest in it. Therefore, I will open a section where I will just add things I come along that I like and help my life…

Time to Wake Up Sleepy Head
Time to Wake Up Sleepy Head
Photo by Aphiwat chuangchoem on Pexels.com
This morning I am up early. Not entirely because I want to be. More so because I need to be. I must start making some real changes to my life to improve my health and snap out of this fog I am in. In the midst of my morning, something dawned on me… I have spent over 20 years of my life in school. 20 years! 20 out of 31 years in school. No wonder I’m…

The Block
I have been gone for quite some time. I would love to say it was because of the many life changes I have been going through. I’ve moved. Most importantly I’ve gotten married to the love of my life. I’m officially a stepmom who has celebrated her first Mother’s Day. And while it seems there should be so many things to write about, I find myself at a loss. Maybe not a loss, but there is definitely…

When to Write
Photo by Wallace Chuck on Pexels.com
I used to believe (and sometimes still do) that to write I had to “have something to say”. I must have some message or revelation that I needed to convey to the masses. The problem is… I live a real life in the real world. Real-life doesn’t come with revelations every week like the tv shows. Not only that, sometimes revelations you do have are not for the…

I Am A Hoarder
I Am A Hoarder
Photo by Ola Dapo on Pexels.com
I am a hoarder. Not in the usual sense that you would most likely assume. But I am one hundred percent a hoarder. I just hoard time. I like to save a minute here and there as if I can just add it to the end of my life.
Somehow, I think I can just save that one minute in traffic or five minutes off of my lunch break that it will add up to…something. As if anyone…

Grateful
Photo by Luis Quintero on Pexels.com
To be grateful is a gift,
In and of itself.
For a spirit to become humble
And recognize the miraculous
Then reflect on the greatness of a higher being;
To marvel in the love and grace
That did not have to be given;
It is a gift indeed worth practicing.

Life Lessons from Roller Derby
Life Lessons from Roller Derby
Pre-COVID I was gladly going into my fourth year of playing roller derby. At first, I was grateful for the break. No more 27/5! But as the weeks turned into months and months turned into a year, I have to say… I yearn for the days of drills and reminders to “get low” every 2 minutes. So, I figured while I am taking this walk down memory lane, I would share some of the greatest lessons I’ve…

A Love of Modern Love
A Love of Modern Love
Photo by Ylanite Koppens on Pexels.com
I think it would be of no surprise to anyone that I dabble (read swim) in the deep ocean that is romantic media. From podcasts, books, movies, shows. You name it, I absorb it. Probably as any hopeless romantic would. Recently, at the behest of a kind nudge, I came across a show on Amazon Prime called Modern Love.
I have to say… of all the recent things…

The Age of Peace
The Age of Peace

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I have to say it… I love being 30. I know a lot of people hate it and dread the TV trouped to death birthday, but I have no idea what they are talking about. Good riddance to the 20’s I say.
I feel more like me than ever before. There is a trust and peace that has come from not having to be young all the time. I can just settle…

What to Say In a World of Talkers
What to Say In a World of Talkers
Photo by Ann Nekr on Pexels.com
To find one’s voice is an extraordinary task and even more extraordinary a gift. I believe it’s why I have struggled to write these past few months. The intense feeling of “I have nothing to say” and lack of courage to just admit that. It’s my truth. Something I very much prided myself on living in for many years, yet have come to realize was at best a half-truth.…

Today I Am Grateful
Today I Am Grateful
Photo by Luis Quintero on Pexels.com
In the time of COVID I know I have given up on myself. I completely stopped my self-care. I was stressed out and alone. But that was so 2020.
Today I write from a place of gratitude. A place I’ve truly been missing. Here I am finally in my 30th year at a weight I am excited about and it’s time. It’s time for me to stop living on autopilot and be present in…

Choices, Choices, Choices
Life is full of choices. Right now the biggest choice for me is what comes next.
I took some time off…unintentionally of course. I got tied up in the holiday madness trying to get the presents, enjoy celebrations, and attempting to make it special for the ones I love. Then I got excited just to see 2020 go. (It was a hell of a year). Shortly after I turned the big and dirty 30. After a while I…

Iris: I’ve found almost everything ever written about love to be true. – The Holiday
One of my favorite romantic comedies won me over in the first line. Iris of course played by the wonderful, Kate Winslet, ends her monologue talking about her place in the category of unrequited love. I have to say at the time, that’s what won me over. I have been in that…

A 30 Year Love Letter...
A 30 Year Love Letter…
This past Monday my parents celebrated their 30-year wedding anniversary. (While I may be a few days late to the celebration – it’s really not about me and they did have a good time.) And in the spirit of thanksgiving, COVID, and the trap that is 2020, I have been doing lot of reflecting.
To make it to thirty years in this day and age is a huge feat. Add the fact that my parents are still under…

My Depression
I refused to believe I am/was depressed. Not in a funny sense. I legit told my therapist when she said I had almost all of the symptoms, that I didn’t accept that it was depression. I couldn’t see how. Truth be told part of me still believes I can’t be depressed. “I have nothing to be depressed about”. Take a glance around. I have an apartment I love. I just bought a new vehicle that I love.…
