“It’s just amazing to know I crossed your mind for a second.” Life is a crazy thing. And special. And sometimes it overwhelms me that that there are all these people and they each have a life. Each person has a story. So, to think, that someone would take even a second of the dayContinue reading “It’s Special”

Brian Wilsoning
I started using this as a coping mechanism when I was really depressed. A Brian Wilson day. You know, like the Beach Boy, Brian Wilson? He supposedly stayed in bed for a year. I do it for a day. Coming out to forage for food, and bathroom breaks. I’ve had a rough two weeks atContinue reading “Brian Wilsoning”
Who We Are…
Isn’t it amazing how many different versions of us there are? My demeanor changes depending on who I am with or where we are. With friends, I can talk for hours. I can be witty and charming and even outgoing. With family, I take a back seat to my sister and am known as theContinue reading “Who We Are…”
Defining Depression
In between my two boys, I suffered a miscarriage. This sent me into the defining depressive episode of my life. Ten to twenty per cent of known pregnancies end in miscarriage, yet no one talks about it. It’s taboo. I was devastated. I believe whole heartedly that a mother’s job is to protect her childrenContinue reading “Defining Depression”
The Joys of Perimenopause…
I am at that age…unfortunately or fortunately, depending on the day. I want to feel sleek and sexy, but rather, perimenopause has me feeling fat and frumpy. My skin looks like puberty has hit all over again. I’ve put on weight, and can’t seem to shake it. I can’t sleep a whole night through –Continue reading “The Joys of Perimenopause…”
Spring Fever
It tends to happen around this time of year. Especially if I’m not afforded the opportunity to travel. Spring fever, cabin fever, whichever you prefer to call it. I’m dying for spring temperatures, melting snow and the tides of change. This is the time that I start about “refreshing” my look or “reinventing” myself toContinue reading “Spring Fever”
Friendship Standards
Friendship is pretty important to me, and I believe it’s something that you need to constantly work on. I run into trouble because not everyone feels the same way; that I would do for others that which they would not do for me. Your friends can hurt you just as much as your enemies. MyContinue reading “Friendship Standards”
First Kiss
This was originally posted on my first blog back in 2015. Enjoy! Her heart was pounding in her ears. She shifted her weight in toward him, her breasts making contact with the contours of his chest. Her back burned where his hand slid up to gently cup the back of her neck. Her fingers trembledContinue reading “First Kiss”
Self Care Saturday
It’s currently minus 15 degrees Celsius. The sun is shining and the winds are blowing. It’s too cold for this girl, right here. So, it’ll be an indoor type of day. I’m sitting in front of my therapy light, and have a huge hot chocolate beside me. The robot vacuum is humming along and theContinue reading “Self Care Saturday”
Depression is Not my life
I don’t want this whole blog to be about my depression. It’s something I have; it’s not who I am. It’s a flaw in my chemistry; not my character. I do tend to write more when I can’t seem to express my feelings any other way, and that’s usually when I’m feeling low. That isContinue reading “Depression is Not my life”
