discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
Okay, so I've got this new project I'm really excited to tell you about. It's a total minimalist/nerdy thing to do but it makes me happy so it's awesome! Yay! It's an evolved version of where I've been with minimalism lately. Obviously, as this is part 3. 😉 I decided to go through my house …
One of the greatest pieces of advice I've heard lately has stayed with me for almost a month now. But first, a little background: Being a recovering perfectionist, I've known to struggle with doing everything & doing it all by myself with no errors. Asking for help was viewed as weakness & my high & …
If you've been with me for a good amount of time, you know how I feel about manipulation, deception, & the mental games people play. In short, I don't do it. I refuse to give in or to be controlled by what they want. It's horseshit, right? So in the midst of all of that, …
I've been kicking ass & taking names! I'm finally starting to feel like a real, responsible adult - Ha! Here's what I've accomplished so far: ✔️ Blood work: I got it done today & got all my numbers in. I'm a little high in cholesterol (no shocker there. I love steak lol) & a little …

I woke up this morning to a beautiful sunrise. The sky was a soft pink color with a hint of orange & yellow glow. It was lightly snowing & I was completely mesmerized by its beauty. It was absolutely magical. And even though I was tired & cold, I smiled & took a deep breath. …
As I was lying wide awake last night, it occurred to me that I didn't do my January goals. Whoops! I completely spaced them with the New Year & all. So let's jump right in & see what I'm gonna work on this month: – A snapshot – SPIRITUAL: 6 → 7 MENTAL: 7 → …
Isn't this design cool? God, people are so talented! So it's that time of year again when we reflect back on the past year & look forward to see what all we want to accomplish. Being the person I am, I could EASILY sit here & write several pages of areas I need to improve …
In my last session with Dr. G, I was explaining to her how I wanted to be at the finish line now. I don't have time or patience for this "process" to work out. 😉 She smirked at me & told me, "That's not how it works." Dammit, Dr. G. Why not? 😉 She also …
So all day yesterday, I kept feeling like I was missing the mark. What is it about me that says, "Nah, fam?" As you know, in one of my relationships, I've tried REPEATEDLY to work on our differences but there's been no active change. I can't keep throwing this in the closet, shutting the door …
