So, a while ago, I wrote an angsty post about my oldest son moving out. Neither one of us handled it well and it caused a lot of hurt feelings on my end. It's all the proverbial water under the bridge now, though. And everything is just fine between us. I always figured that at … Continue reading My Son Moved Back Home

Learning To Live With Epilepsy
You want to be there for your children. You want to believe that as a parent, you have a heightened sense of danger and just plain know when your kids need you. Well, that wasn't the case the other night as Brian and I slept soundly while our son had a seizure in the hallway, … Continue reading Learning To Live With Epilepsy
Hiding Your Pain
I saw a meme today, saying something to the effect of "Don't let others see you struggle. Just get through it and be an inspiration when you succeed." For the life of me, I can't find it again so you'll have to take my word for it. A few people commented with enthusiastic agreement. I … Continue reading Hiding Your Pain
Picard, A Review

I have been guilty of impulsive hair cutting in my bathroom. I have also been guilty of angry hair cutting after fighting with my husband. There have … Continue reading A New Hair-Do Can Change Your Whole Outlook On Life
A Star Trek Experience That Is Worth The Drive
Lizzie and I did a thing last weekend! We went to Kingsland, Georgia for Fan Days at Neutral Zone Studios. What is Neutral Zone Studios? It's like a big tv set that will make you feel like you are on the Enterprise. Once a month, they open their doors to the public. (The next one … Continue reading A Star Trek Experience That Is Worth The Drive
Visualizing With My Vision Board
I was invited to a vision board party and I was immediately stoked. Admittedly, that was because I read the words "I'm keeping the invite list small." I made the cut! She likes me, she really likes me! 😂 Then I realized that I had no idea what a vision board was or a party … Continue reading Visualizing With My Vision Board
My Thrive Experience
In a previous post, I mentioned that I have been using Thrive. So I thought I would use it as an excuse to write another review! I'm also very curious about others' experiences if anyone out there is also "thriving." I don't claim to be super knowledgeable about Thrive. I just claim to like the … Continue reading My Thrive Experience
