It’s been a while since I have been on here. I have learned that there is there is so much power in just “being”. For years my body was stuck in fight or flight mode and under constant stress. While I learned better coping skills and did the work to understand so many powerful lessonsContinue reading “She is found, but is she really ever?”

The last 4 years …
I was given the privilege tonight of being a speaker at an Al-Anon anniversary. When I first began my journey to share my story I said I would one day speak it, not just write it. That day came and I wanted to share it with you.. I am so incredibly proud of myself forContinue reading “The last 4 years …”
As 2021 comes to an end..
What if the circumstances never change? The end of 2021 is just hours away and the beginning of 2022 to follow. Some of us have managed to make dreams become a reality while others have managed to simply survive in 2021. I’ve done a little of both to be honest with you. Sure my originalContinue reading “As 2021 comes to an end..”
You got this
It all feels so incredibly heavy right now. Mask or no mask. Vaccination or no vaccination. Whatever it is – we got this. And in it, while we are figuring it out – let’s not forget our kindness. ❤️ (shoutout to my incredible teaching partner for this beautiful daily reminder)
Covid Had Me
Covid – I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t want to give it my headspace but as I think continuously about the place we are at right now in Ontario I just can’t help it, I can’t help feeling like I need to do something for those that I care about. Mostly allContinue reading “Covid Had Me”
The Power of Our Mindset
The Power of Our Mindset Soaking up the sunshine … inside. I slipped on ice Thursday, by Friday my body told me it was time to stop. I didn’t want to stop, after-all I am a fighter. There isn’t much that does stop me. This time though, I had no choice. I spent almost 24Continue reading “The Power of Our Mindset”
Simple Right?
The choice is mine, all I have to do is choose. Can I do this? Can I stay? Or should I go? Simple isn’t it… I can choose to walk away from the struggles I have with someone else (heck, maybe they are even my own struggles) and be free, or I can choose toContinue reading “Simple Right?”
I did it for them, and now I do it for me.
I did it for them, and now I do it for me. Far too many times the floor found me, only this time there was a difference in the evening. My son, he found me. On the kitchen floor, in a puddle of tears with the ugly cry happening. There was no denying it, thereContinue reading “I did it for them, and now I do it for me.”
The Couch
The Couch. The place I didn’t want to be during the first month of Covid. I couldn’t handle feeling like life was hard. After all, I’ve done hard, and I won’t go back there again. Much like the kitchen floor that I won’t sit on when I’m sad, I won’t go back to that hard,Continue reading “The Couch”
If we do not feel, then we do not heal.
I had an anxiety attack at work today. I hadn’t had one in so long that I actually forgot what it was. I convinced myself within minutes that I had suddenly developed covid, and wanted to run out of the building so none of my people were exposed to me. It took me far tooContinue reading “If we do not feel, then we do not heal.”
