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

If I Could Rescue Them All

Fostering rescue animals is such important work. If you can find time in your life and space in your home, it is a rewarding experience.

Take pause and give strength

My blog, From Here to Me, is really just a journal where I keep my thoughts and experiences as I go through this journey called life.  I have made a lot of changes over the past year and a half, I have failed at some goals, and far exceeded my expectations for others.  When I… Continue reading Take pause and give strength
