Lately I've been bombarded with anxiety, unwanted thoughts, on-coming depression, freaking out about health issues and what feels like 50-million other things.

I need to continue to sleep less (yeah, I've sucked at it since the police report) I need to be doing cleaning - laundry, … Continue reading Time For Some Self Care

I've slowly been getting used to it and being OK with it. Now I'm starting to embrace it! To even love myself. I realize that it's not the … Continue reading Beauty Is In The Eye Of The Beholder
I knew you didn't mean any harm when you asked me today if I was expecting. But, your question hurt me. I'm experiencing an uncomfortable side effect of a new medication I'm on - bloating and gas. I looked in the mirror today and saw this. And, it bothered me for a couple reasons. I … Continue reading To The Person Who Asked If I Was Expecting
