Eight Years

So 2020 is blending the days together, right? I completely forgot about the date until I started seeing Spark messages. I've maintained a weight loss for eight years. That gave me pause. I never thought I would ever say that. I didn't lose ... Read more
World Mental Health Day
Saturday, October 10, 2020      13 comments

October 10th is World Mental Health Day. I go to therapy. Do you? Have you considered it? Have you shrugged it off? Have you started and stopped? Going to therapy doesn't mean you're crazy. It doesn't mean you're weak; in fact, it's j... Read more

Change
Wednesday, June 03, 2020      8 comments

Just like many of you, I have seen many civil unrests in my life. I'm always saddened but hopeful that some good will come of it. We've made a lot of progress but there is still work to be done. There's a lot of negativity and there is a lot of ... Read more
Tuning Out the Noise
Monday, June 01, 2020      11 comments

April Distance
Sunday, April 05, 2020      9 comments

April distance brings May existence is the motto of the day huh? Another month of a stay-at-home order. I've always enjoyed hanging around the house but I don't think I've had social distance forced on me since I was maybe 14 and I was gro... Read more
