Back from our first summer vacation and happily can say that I felt vacated a few times while away. Car travel is somewhat exhausting. Our three kitties were very needy upon our return. Felt very relieved that we’d finally gotten a good rain while away but alas, there were some dead plants. Recent disappointments feel…
Last week on Instagram, I announced the conclusion and wrap up of my jump start to self-betterment, my #28DaysComeWhatMay project. Now it’s time to tell this story on the blog in detail. While my project has officially ended, I am still going strong with my resolve for regular exercise and whole food eating. l started…
Part One of my backstory of my #28DaysComeWhatMay Project in which I tell you about how I discovered my anti-depressant was doing me wrong.
My body has changed purposes over my lifetime. From a vehicle of play to a ripe fruit. From an object of desirability to a life-giving childrearing machine. And now there’s this, the Pause.

My friends and I met last night for a small check-in and chat. And we discovered that we’re all reaching a place where we want to reconnect and return to our social places and people. We miss our “others’ and who we are when we are with them. We’re ready to let go of the…
My body has gone through many many changes in my 50 plus years. Growing up into a girl who then got her period on the day of a 7th grade camping trip. Valuing myself only for my body as an angry teen. Living the religion of pretty, fit, and desirable in my 20’s and 30’s….
Back when my therapist suggested I had different parts I needed to consider healing, I thought she was nuts. I wasn’t a schizophrenic. But then I began to understand that my inner child had been tantrumming because she wasn’t being allowed to create. And I conceded that maybe I did have different parts to me…
