Finding Life beyond the struggles
Last week I turned another year older. I don't feel like it and I've already warned my people that I will undoubtedly forget my actual age, and not on purpose either. I've just gotten so used to being the same age my mother was when she had me it's like ingrained in my brain or... Continue Reading →
Hello Beautiful People! How is life today? Has the weather been good to you or for you? I know out on the West Coast it's been crazy. Which is weird to me because as a kid who grew up in California, I didn't even know what snow was the first time I saw it. I... Continue Reading →
For everyone who's felt overwhelmed, unfulfilled, like they're running behind, racing to catch up, drained, like they need a break, just plain tired... Me too.

Hello friends. How are you doing today? Has time change been in your favor or not? With two kids who sleep almost as little as their father, it hasn't had a big impact on us so far. Last night as I was sitting in the chair in Isbe's room waiting for her to go back... Continue Reading →
Last night I went through an anxiety attack. It began when Isbe woke up in the middle of the night. As I was putting her back to sleep, I smelled smoke. That wasn't surprising since we had lit a fire in the pit earlier and eaten outside. The smell was so strong, though, that I... Continue Reading →
