Ok, so I figured I need to just get this all out instead of getting sucked into the Facebook hole and spewing out angry comments at people I don’t even know or haven’t talked to in years. There’s a lot of shit going on right now. Crazy, crazy shit. And I know people are all […]
Soliloquy 2-27-15: Mamahood
I was having a bit of a rough day today. I’m just really emotional – feeling overwhelmed and tired. And fat. (Humor me. I’m allowed to feel however I feel about myself.) Wanting a break but not seeing one in sight. I don’t think people realize the toll motherhood and breastfeeding takes on your body. […]
My journey within
As I started to realize that the beliefs I’ve been told were true for basically my whole life no longer aligned with the inner truth and voice I felt within, my whole world shifted. I decided that there were too many things that I felt were true that the church was telling me was wrong. […]
A turning point in my faith
Dustin likes to ask me when we’re in our deep, spiritual discussions: “What was the turning point for you in your Christianity? What or when was it that things clicked and you realized you couldn’t follow that belief system anymore?” That’s a question I have pondered a lot over the last several years. It all […]
Magical Moonrise
I just got back from a great little beach getaway weekend. Mama needed the ocean, so I had planned a solo beach weekend to myself. But then I realized how much I’ve missed my little man, so I decided to bring Co with me. 😉 We had a wonderful weekend. He’s such a trooper on […]
Learning to embrace what is given.
I’ve started counseling recently…. More on that later, I suppose, but for now, I want to talk about some of the things I’ve learned through counseling. First is getting to the root of what your situation is – allowing yourself to feel what you need to feel, and having the space to admit deep things […]
Dear Tyler
Dear Tyler, Today, I gather with your family and friends to officially say farewell to your physical presence here in this earthly realm. It will no doubt be a difficult day as I don’t think any of us are really ready to say such goodbyes. We met in July 2012 – almost 6 years ago! […]
Love your neighbor as yourself…But what if you hate yourself?
Love your neighbor as yourself…But what if you hate yourself? That’s the catch, right? The Golden Rule sounds great on paper. It’s assumed that we all adore ourselves and like to put ourselves in front of other people, so if we show that same adoration to others, life will be grand, yeah? But what if […]
How to love your life and find your gratitude when you really just hate everything.
That title, yo. Yep. That’s my life right now. That’s my mission day in and day out. As I described in my last post (that I didn’t even share on Facebook because, vulnerability), it’s been a rough year or so around here. I’m dealing with some major discontentment in my life, and I find myself […]
Working through it.
Hey ya’ll. Yep, I’m still alive. The blog lives. And yep, I just said ya’ll. Because I guess I’m a southern girl now and that’s what they do. Life has been nothing short of overwhelming as I battle all the feels that come with post-partum depression, missing your friends and family, and being forced to […]
