Last week, I wrote about being too tired to care and too stubborn to quit. I dropped the curtain a little, shared how close to burnout I was, and how much I was just trying to keep going. This post is not a polished comeback or some rebrand of wellness. It is a continuation.This is… Continue reading Low-Key Self-Care Wins

One Word
I feel like I have boiled down everyone I know down to a one-word description. I am tired, and things are grating on me right now, so I do not want to be wordy. Example - I had some foster kittens recently, and one of them was adorable, but out of control, I just call… Continue reading One Word
Why We Believe
1. Today my 28-year-old daughter had to verbally take down two men on Facebook that were making harsh comments about sexual assault victims. One of the men was 65 years old. 2. Today I called my 30-year-old daughter because she was going to a concert alone tonight and I had to ask her how she… Continue reading Why We Believe
Never Here, Never Again
I am in my fifties. I have been out of high school for a long time, but I remember my history lessons. In high school, college, in books, we learn about the lives of humans and how they lived in the past; the good and the bad. The awful lessons of history always seem so… Continue reading Never Here, Never Again
Lady General
Today is the fourth anniversary of my mothers passing. I miss her every day. When going through some old files a few days ago, I came across this letter that I wrote for my mom for her retirement dinner, many years ago. It is not sophisticated, but it does share just a little of how… Continue reading Lady General

Back at the fitness and weight loss thing again. I have put on weight that I lost a few years ago. This irritates me, but of course, I have no one to blame but myself. I am finding it is not enough to know how to lose weight; you have to want to make the… Continue reading Commitment
I Have Been Here Before
Five years ago yesterday I quit smoking; this was a significant life event for me. I started smoking when I was seventeen; I was forty-eight when I quit. I had stopped a few other times in my life but always went back to smoking within a year. Hitting my five-year quit anniversary is exciting! Quitting… Continue reading I Have Been Here Before
Back to School Part 2
Going to school now actually is realizing a dream for me, going for something that will allow me to change careers and reach my goals. I mentioned in my post the other day that looking for a school to attend that is 100% online is not for the faint of heart, it is a jungle… Continue reading Back to School Part 2
Back to School
In my ever changing quest to find myself, I have decided to go back to school. Well, decided, enrolled, and start class tomorrow. I am going 100% online, so technically I have already begun my work because they load it ahead of time. The decision to go back to school was not a hard one, deciding… Continue reading Back to School
Rant Ahead – RSVP
I do not generally use my blog to rant, but I am so frustrated by the seemingly lack of consideration that I am experiencing right now. When did it become OK to not RSVP to an invitation? Did people forget that money is being spent, that plans are being made? If you do not RSVP… Continue reading Rant Ahead – RSVP
