I’m really struggling here. Let me explain. Does anyone else feel this delicate balance of accepting things as they are, being grateful for what you have, and honoring your right to mourn, grieve or feel sad for what you don’t? Sunday, I arrived early to meet my Mom for a Mother’s Day lunch. As I […]
It’s Hard…
It’s hard to know where to start sometimes, when I write. There’s so much to say, but so little energy to say it these days. All of it seems so overwhelming. Stringing words together in meaningful sentences to share my story in such a way you might feel you are walking along side me on […]
The Island of Nunya
The Island of Nunya. What? Read on…it will all make sense. Today is a big day. Today is a test. Because today is my son’s first day back in his school after five weeks. Baby steps today. He’s only there for half the day. But he’s there. And it scares me. Being in treatment […]
Love Yourself Mommas…Love. Your. Self.
Love yourself Mommas. Just as you love those Mommas around you. This morning, I was texting with one of my super awesomest friends on the planet. And we were discussing our kids, when I realized. In a matter of exactly 20 minutes of texting, we’d BOTH referred to ourselves as ‘bad mommas’. BOTH of us. […]
Just. Be.
Shhhh…quiet everyone. Quiet. Close your eyes. Find some silence. And just be…
I. Am. My Messy Beautiful
I am. Two simple words we say often, followed by an adjective. Or a noun. Or one of those other more complicated parts of our language. We’re always busy trying to fill in the blank. I am _________. Seriously. Am I alone here? I feel like I’m constantly trying to fill in the blank. Literally […]
How I’m Really Doing (Cookie Monster Strikes Again)
WARNING: this post contains profanity and over eating of cookies. But this is a no shame zone – so if you’re going to feel the need to shame me for swearing or over eating, then kindly and politely move on. Many have asked how we’re doing. How I’m doing…through this tough time with Noah…well here’s […]
At Least
Two simple words. Words meant to serve as a reminder of the positive aspect of a situation. But two words that can also discount, minimize or ignore the pain that may accompany a situation or experience. At least. These are the words. Think about it, how many times have you responded to a friend or […]
I’m Fine…No Really…Okay, No…I’m Not Fine…But I’ll Be Okay
I’m fine. No…really, I am. How many times do we say this to people, when really, we AREN’T fine? Many. Like oodles and oodles. TOO MANY times we say this. I’m totally guilty of this. For two reasons really. First, because if I say I’m fine, I might believe I’m fine, and then I won’t make […]
Finding Peace, Finding Beauty
Peace. We’re all in need of it. In constant search for it. Seeking for the harmony within ourselves which allows us the freedom to be, the freedom to exist…as is. To be who we are, without fear, without torment, without shame. To be at peace, make peace, keep the peace. To have the cessation of […]
