Journal of a journey through life, true love and lessons learned along the way.
I have always prided myself in the fact that I came from a less than charmed life and have created the life I always wanted...or so I thought. I have been lingering on this thought, every single point, for some time now debating on whether the life I created came from having less than a... Continue Reading →
Why is it taboo to talk about therapy? What is the shame in our mental health? We talk about mammograms, menopause and colonoscopies without hesitation. It makes zero sense to me and that is why I do talk and about it and will talk about it. Mental Health therapy is no different than physical therapy... Continue Reading →
The one thing that we, as a society, have in common is that we are an overweight society as defined by the medical community and socially.

My mom was a career woman or so I liked to think she was; it never seemed like a job. She wore beautiful dresses and suits and went to an office every day. My mom could type like her fingers were gas-powered, it was impressive. She climbed the ranks from Secretary to Executive Admin to... Continue Reading →
This is the final five days of what was her last week. This year I am at work, working on budgets seemingly easy as compared to last year but gut-wrenching when I think about what makes it easier. I am living my life without her and while I have tricked myself into thinking I had... Continue Reading →
