Listen. Here's the thing. I know I'm supposed to be writing something super poignant. A retrospect of 2021. All the books I read. The struggles and challenges and victories I've had. But I can't get my brain to focus. I have started, stopped, erased, amd started this blog four times now. All because I couldn't... Continue Reading →

The Eyes Have It
You know that saying. The one that says to take care of yourself or you'll be forced to. Yeah. That ain't no joke. Back in November my vision was getting blurry. Ok. Blurrier.

One week in and I failed
Every year I look forward to NaNoWriMo. It's my favorite thing. Until this year. On the 5th, I developed hives. I lost two days of writing because of itching, scratching, and being in pain.

Handle time nightmare. But I made the promise it would be better. And it was. Wednesday got free... Continue Reading →

We’re taught to take care of everyone else before us. I’ve even seen infographics on Facebook that put women/wives/moms last in a hierarchy. God then husband then... Continue Reading →
My Depression Story
I'm in the middle of a bad fight with depression right now. I have depression and I'm sure you're reading this and thinking, “No way this little ball of sunshine. This little ray of happiness. This little person all wrapped up in kittens and glitter and sunshine and rainbows and unicorns.” I love unicorns. But... Continue Reading →
Bleach, Autism, and Medical Quackery that Will Kill Your Child
Ok, I’m probably going to irritate a couple people, but I saw something yesterday that I can’t unseen and absolutely need to voice my opinion about. To start, I’ll let you know I believe some crazy stuff. I’m pagan so I right there qualifies me as nuts in most circles. I have seen too much... Continue Reading →
