I have written about love in the past, but it has been heavy on my heart to write about it again. I do not know where I fall on the religious spectrum. I was raised in a Christian household and primarily in the Southern Baptist Church. There were many good years spent at this place… Continue reading Love is patient

The Phoenix and a Diagnosis
It is funny. Not funny ha-ha, but funny the other way. I find it humorous how I can be in a “mood”, just in general. It does not seem like it can get worse. The irritability is present and boiling inside of me. The irritability is something I am quite tired of. All of… Continue reading The Phoenix and a Diagnosis
It takes a village
Life with a mental illness is challenging. Not only for the person who has the diagnosis, but for those that love that person. Last night after work, I was in my sewing room (of course) and I had company (which was pretty awesome). A question was asked about dinner, preparation and what should be done… Continue reading It takes a village

The Red Queen
The Red Queen from Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland is quite known for exclaiming “Off with their head(s)!” She had quite the temper, took it out on everyone and everything around her.

Bumpy Landings
I have embarked on a number of trips via airplane. For me, there is a considerable amount of stress that is part of the travel process. The confined space on the plane, the people sitting so close, and the fear if they will they have enough coffee? These are all things I worry over. Some… Continue reading Bumpy Landings
Shedding Tears
Have you had the days when you just cannot keep tears from streaming down your face? The harder you try, the more tears end up running away from your eyes as if they are being chased by a big, giant, ugly monster with bad breath. I am having that kind of a week (and it… Continue reading Shedding Tears
Giving Yourself Credit
There are times when we need to stop and give ourselves credit. Let me rephrase that, there are times that I need to stop and give myself credit. I am going to say it, I am doing a hell of an excellent job, as are you. Often, I find that I set unrealistic expectations… Continue reading Giving Yourself Credit
A Phone Call Away
Today is a day when I needed my mama. I texted and asked when she was free, if she could call me. I waited. I tried to stay busy, but I was anxious and holding back the tears. I really wanted to hear her voice, but I knew that she was otherwise preoccupied. It seemed… Continue reading A Phone Call Away
