Sorry I haven't post much lately. I have been filling myself up. The next few months are always really busy for me here and I need to be well and balanced before I share more with all of you. I have some exciting things ahead that I cannot wait to share with you all and I am even

I saw this sentiment pop up on my feed a few days ago and wow...it touched me. I really don't know what else to say. Lately so much has changed around me and I am not ready to share it here but it's definitely giving me pause and reminding me to just slow down and treasure who I

My time by the ocean last week was so good for me and I didn't realize how much I needed the waves and water until my toes were wet and sandy. It was the kind of medicine my spirit needed! So I challenge you today to find some water and get your feet wet. It can be a pool, strea

Eight years ago today, there I stood and watched the world change. This was my life-quake. Everyone has them. Some aren't so publicized but they still define us, our lives, and how we move on. For me, the bombing was my line in the sand. I haven't really been the same since but I

Last year, right before quarantine started, we planted a little garden and it has brought me so much joy to grow things. We had zucchini, tomatoes, spinach, mint and basil and very successfully kept it alive despite how hot it gets here in AZ. We added strawberries and lavender t

What are you looking forward to right now? I have two things...My little brother graduates from college in the next few weeks and though his ceremony will be virtual, my sibs and dad and I are headed to Chicago to help him celebrate (we've all been vaccinated). Then, later in May

Music is such a healer for me. I love how it can transport me to different times in my life in an instant! Anything Britney Spears or boy band takes me back to High School, Gloria Estefan is my ultimate favorite and always makes me feel good, and oldies remind me of my dad and my

I have a tight group of true friends. They know my heart, my deepest secrets, and greatest fears and I can count them on one hand. My tribe is small but mighty and a huge source of support and love and this past year has made maintaining these relationships more challenging with

Anyone else going through it lately? I have been too. New blog up about it. Link in Bio. #ptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #anxiety #depression #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthawareness #mentalillness #followme #mentalhealth #work #hope #time #recovery #wellness #mentalhealthmatter

Hi friends! I just wanted to thank you all for supporting me here for so long. Today will be my last day here for a little while. I need a break, have to recharge, work on me, and spend some focused time with my family. It's a bit over due and I feel it in my bones. So I am going

Today is PTSD Awareness Day and I wanted to just share what awareness means for me because it is not just about this little community we have here. PTSD Awareness really starts within yourself. It's your own awareness about your triggers, your signs and symptoms, listening to you

Five years ago today I voluntarily hospitalized myself. I was suffering with severe PTSD symptoms and couldn't tell which way was up. I was a mess. This past year I considered seeking treatment again a few times as I went through medication changes, COVID anxiety, and some stress

Terrorism has a ripple effect. It reaches across countries, over oceans, and through communities. It touches friendships and changes families. None of us are free of it. Today, we honor victims of terrorism all around the world and vow that they are not forgotten. Their pain. The

You guys...I'm 40 today! I have had quite a wild ride these last 10 years but I feel ready to move forward into 40. New reflection up on the blog this morning. Link in bio! #ptsd #ptsdawareness #ptsdrecovery #anxiety #depression #anxietyrelief #mentalhealthawareness #mentalilln

This mental health thing is a day in, day out grind. Anyone feel me? It's therapy, when you feel over-tired. Taking your medication/supplements, when you feel discouraged. Meditating, when you just want to turn off your mind. And then the clouds part just slightly and you get the

20 years and we will never forget. Out of this horrible day came some of the strongest survivors and people I know and I am so grateful they are here to show me the ropes of life after terrorism. Thousands of families weren't so lucky. They remain in my prayers always. #neverforg
