Maybe I have this all wrong? Good God, what if I do have this all wrong?! Maybe I’m the crazy one! My son might be the one on the meds, but perhaps it is me that needs them (Before I get a whole bunch of comments about disparaging my son by inferring he is crazy from […]
Share the Happy, Spread the Love!
I’m working on some posts my friends…they’re taking longer than expected. Sometimes this writing thing is harder than it looks. Oh…who am I kidding…it is ALWAYS harder than it looks! Did you know that most of these posts you’ve read take me at least three hours to write? And you probably read it in what…one […]
Less Judging, More Loving
What do you think someone looks like who suffers from mental illness? Do you think they look like this? In today’s society, our social media streams are filled with all kinds of awareness week notifications. The amount of requests we receive to ‘like this’ or ‘share that’ to help bring awareness to multiple causes can […]
Adventures (or Mishaps) in Meditation
The last two weeks have been particularly challenging for me to keep my mind in a good, calm and restful state. If you’ve been following along my little journey through life, you know I’ve had a wee bit of stress. But then, haven’t we all? Couldn’t we all benefit from a little more centering of […]
Time for the Funny
Time for the Funny. With a capital F. Usually a capital F in my book is for something else. But today? Today it is for Funny. F-U-N-N-Y!!! So here’s the thing. As you may have guessed from my posts, my life has some stress in it. And I’m tired of it. And I’m tired of […]
Hope On, Journey On
“Mommy, you must come get me. Now. Right now. I can’t stay here. I’m worried I’m going to hurt myself. Please…” His voice was breaking. He was crying. I could hear fear and desperation. He had fallen, into a deep and dark place again. And for no particular reason that any of us could discern. […]
Commit to Compassion
My life’s not perfect. Whaaaat? Yes. It’s true. My life is filled with imperfection, pain, unhappiness. But it’s also filled with blessings, laughter and joy. My life is rich. Balanced on both sides of the coin – the good and the bad. Some days are harder than others. Some days it feels like every step […]
Lost. In the Woods. With Children
So yeah, that happened. I got lost in the woods the other day. On a field trip. CHAPERONING CHILDREN. Of course I did. Because that’s how I roll. There’s a reason I haven’t chaperoned much in the past. Clearly, I can’t…be…trusted. In Noah’s seven years of schooling, I’ve rarely chaperoned a trip or volunteered at […]
Hey You…Gorgeous Lady. I See You.
Hey You. Gorgeous Lady with the perfectly coiffed hair, in the beautifully cut taupe suit, tailored white shirt and gorgeous nude heels. I see you. Standing there outside your fancy car talking on your cell phone, motioning some orders to your blonde haired, uniform clad little girls, sitting in the back seat of your car. […]
A Day in the Life
No one could’ve really known that retrieving an overthrown frisbee-like disc from the waist high weeds would have set off what’s called a mixed episode or state (mixed states happen when a child is experiencing both mania and depression together). He was barefoot, enjoying a game of catch with Grandpa on a warm late summer […]
