When reality slaps you in the face…

reading time: 3 minutes I expected a lot of stressful moments with this move, but not one of them had to do with self-esteem.  And yet, here at the beginning of the move, that is exactly what has happened.  The "packing up and sending our stuff off" part has actually been relatively stress-free, even […]

The Stress Spiral

reading time: 4 minutes  &  The past few days have thoroughly tested me, over and over again.  Not falling into old ways of thinking and old patterns has been, at times, a hell of a struggle. I had a moment the other night when it felt like everything I was trying to do for […]

Wednesday Wishes!

reading time: 3 minutes Craziness.  That is the word of the times.  Moving across the country with three kids, two cats, one dog, and two cars.  Leaving one college-age kid behind.  Leaving family and friends behind.  All of this leads to crazy emotional roller coasters.   NOTE:  All pics are clickable into a new […]

Letting it all go…

reading time: 3 minutes That seems to be the theme of my life lately, letting go.  I'm moving, so there is a lot of letting go of "stuff" going on, most of which causes me not a single moment of stress!  But it also makes me think about those things that I hang on […]

How easy it is to fall…

reading time: 3 minutes The last few weeks have been all about change for me..  It is needed and it is time.  A big part of change, in my opinion, is the journey to it.  Open heart, open mind, and you can discover so much and learn so much.  And I have.  Some of […]

Where is the line…

reading time: 3 minutes The Serenity Train derailed today, at least partially.  When it crashed, it took with it trust and respect, an almost tangible loss of both.  And when it crashed, it gave me anger and hurt, the kind that makes getting that train back on the tracks a true test of my […]

Making changes

reading time: 7 minutes I am last priority.  At least, that is the way it has been for a very long time.  Last priority for the people around me and eventually last priority for myself.  The first thing to go in the chaos of life is me, which I am trying to change.  There […]
