If you’ve been around for a while then you’ve probably read about my relationship with an alcoholic. Holy trauma batman. I don’t know how I survived with my sanity intact. There were many times I didn’t think I would. As someone who has struggled with anxiety and depression that traumatic relationship,…
In part one I talked about the beginning of my relationship with an alcoholic. In part two I talked about how it gets worse. We start off part three with her being sober for two months. She gets into a sober living house (a house full of 5-9 women who…
Yesterday, in part one of my super long story about my last failed relationship that put me through the gauntlet of change and transformation, we left off with my partner at the time finally admitting that she was an alcoholic. Talk about relief. Everyone always says the first step is…
There was a time when I shared nearly every aspect of my life on this blog. It’s been over seven years, nearly a decade since I pressed “publish” on my little Blogger blog. I’ve grown a lot, shared a lot, written a lot. I’ve talked about my decision not to…
When I first discovered Leonie Dawson’s Life Planner I became enchanted with the idea of picking a Word-of-the-Year. A word to represent what I want to do/feel/be for the year. It feels like a way to keep myself on course. A bit of a guiding star. The title to a…
Happy December! It’s the start of a brand new month and I hope that you’re excited for what’s to come. If you love this time of the year I hope you enjoy the holiday spirit and if you don’t, well I hope you get through it unscathed. Around the 1st…
I’ve been open about my own journey of self-improvement, especially my issues with rage. Sometimes I think the Hulk has nothing on me. When you choose to change something about yourself it feels like this big scary adventure. The first step can be a little frustrating (but freeing, so very,…
Yesterday I told myself that I was disgusting and I was mortified that I did it. I was not having a very good morning. I was feeling very sensitive and emotional and having trouble dealing with it. It had been a long time since I’d felt those emotions, that feeling…
The last 40 days have been a completely wild ride. If you’d like to know what I’ve been up to the last month then grab a cup of tea, get comfy, and keep reading. I bought a house! It all started in January. You see, I released this thing called…
My word of the year is depth and I’ve been exploring what that means for me and my life. Exploration is fun, I suggest you try it sometime, even though it’s terrifying. As someone who dislikes change and tends to get very comfy with the status quo, going deeper in…
I first learned from Create Your Shining Year Planner how to choose a word-of-the-year instead (or into addition to!) a New Year’s resolution. I don’t know about you but I kinda forget my resolutions after awhile, no matter how well meaning I am. Picking a word is less stringent and it…
This whole year I’ve felt myself drawing within, pulling away, burrowing inside of my own skin where it feels safe and comfortable. I was pulling away from what I do, distancing myself from the reality of the big dreams that I have. It’s terrifying to be so close to something…
