CHRONIC PAIN

Life has been throwing me some hoops lately. And little by little, I’m figuring out what is and is not aligned… Take this post for example. This is something I would have previously just written on my blog. But life’s been leading me to also post on Facebook. I don’t know what that means for me. I’m...

Better Place

The world is better with you in it… That’s the picture that sent me spiraling this morning. I mean let’s be honest… Sometimes we don’t always feel this way. We might even feel like the world would be better off without us at times. It’s so easy to get caught up in these thoughts. To forget about how...

INTENT MATTERS

Here’s the thing I don’t think gets talked about enough when it comes to intent. Intent may not always change how something impacts us — and impact still matters. But that doesn’t mean intent is irrelevant. Both can be true at the same time. Think about it for a moment. You’re put into a deeply unco...

THE IN-BETWEEN

Coming into this new year feels extra heavy for me. I think there’s a part of me that hoped I’d feel better. Hoped I wouldn’t be in so much pain everyday still. Wanted to feel more like thriving verse surviving. But maybe that’s the whole point. We’re all just trying to survive something. A job we h...

THE GRIEF IS REAL

.Sometimes I get so frustrated when I see people complaining about the little things in life. And I don’t mean to get frustrated — it’s not your fault. But when life rips everything away from you… When you’re fighting pain daily. When you can’t work or provide. Shit just hits different. It’s easy no...

SATURDAY THOUGHTS…

Tonight I’m just chilling, and these random thoughts popped into my head — and honestly, I want to have a real conversation about it. A lot of people aren’t a fan of AI. They think it’s ruining our brains, killing our critical thinking, or whatever other nonsense they can come up with. But… what if ...

FREEZER CHECK...

When Reality Hits You in the Freezer Today I opened my freezer and the reality finally hit me. We are one of the families affected by losing food stamps this month. I haven’t been able to work a full-time job since 2022 because of chronic pain, surgeries that keep getting postponed, and my body simp...

EMOTIONAL OVERWHELM...

Things have been a little crazy lately. I finally made it in to see an Endometriosis specialist. He’s sending me to a few others. Our kitten has been so sick he peed on the couch. I’ve been learning how to receive help — the kind that actually helps. And honestly? It’s just been A LOT. Here’s the wi...

WHATEVER IT TAKES...

When you’ve been at rock bottom, you stop judging how people hold on. You just pray they make it through. 💖 My heart aches for those who live with judgment — for others, and for themselves. I mean, I get it. I used to, too. But I’ve also come to understand something deeper: love, compassion, and fo...

QUIET STRENGTH

Do you ever find yourself feeling insignificant? Like what's the point? What am I doing here? What is my purposed here on this earth? Well, you aren't alone. And you never were. You see we all have these things that have completely broken us down. That we are holding onto inside. That we don't want ...

Burn or Spark...

I'm so excited to share with you a recent ceiling breaking moment. Picture it, you see something that serious sets your heart on fire. For me it made me so frustrated, I couldn't keep my mouth shut! Now I usually try to be as professional as possible. I try to play nice and don't say too much that m...

ACCOMMODATIONS

Accepting that we are different can be hard enough. Admitting that we need help or accommodations, is a whole other level... But we are worth it and we deserve to function just as the rest of the world. Our disabilities or struggles may hold us back but we won't let them win! We will continue to ris...

Existing

I seem to have this problem where I will push myself really freaking hard, and then I get exhausted, am burnt out for a few days or so and then I repeat the cycle all over again. I'm really trying to work on this although I am not completely sure how I'm going to break it. I just keep trying. Learni...

IF YOU DON'T KNOW ME BY NOW...

There’s this trend going around right now that says the #1 song on your birthday is your theme song… and mine? “If You Don’t Know Me by Now” by Simply Red. At first, I laughed. Then I paused.And thought — wow, that’s actually kind of perfect. I’ve been misunderstood for most of my life. I never quit...

SHIFTING

There comes this point in life’s journey where everything seems to change completely. You find yourself not enjoying the things you used to. Not laughing at the same old things anymore. Your style, taste and type might even change. You either feel like a new person entirely. Or question everything y...
