I have PTSD- and that’s okay
I came across this article today and it has resonated with me. I have PTSD. I have been diagnosed, treated and I am proud of my work to make my life with this a little better. To assume I could come out the other side unscathed would have been naïve and I have been okay…

Eat
I love to cook. I find it calming and therapeutic to be in the kitchen; to chop, season, watch a pad of butter sizzle in the pan and slowly brown. Cooking demands I be here, present, otherwise pots boil over and the bread is burned. Last month my lovely SIL and I went to New…

Shiny New Penny- Week One Check In
New Years check in week one. Whew! I developed some tarnish. And after only a week. So much so I had to go back to last week to see what I promised myself. My goodness! Look at me last week, all bright and shiny. Like anything that takes work, reminders and repolishing are important. Those…

Well Hello New Year
I love this day. I really do. New Year’s comes in like a bright shiny penny, full of expectations and hope. Last year drifts off into the sunset leaving me with reflection. What could I have done better? What could have been so much worse? We are settled into our house on the 20 this…

How Very Grateful
I have just finished Girl Wash Your Face by Rachel Hollis. And I recommend. It’s an easy read, a funny book and I keep quoting her. She talks about the lies we tell ourselves. The lies we believe and repeat to ourselves. And repeat. And repeat. And repeat. As a grieving Mama, I thought ‘what lie…

The Kids are Alright
I have been looking through quotes to find the right words. I have looked through George H.W Bush’s repertoire to state how I feel. RIP 41. And I found the quote about broccoli. But I like broccoli. And then as I started to write this post, Hubs put on The Who and the song The…

I Love My Mitochondria
Lordy I do. I do, do, do-do-y do. None of us would be here without these tiny, beautiful organelles. Like any love affair it is peppered with imperfections, loss, heart ache, curses, and the occasional throwing of a dinner plate across the dining room. Regardless. At the end of the day. I love my mitochondria.…
