discovering who I really am in the midst of a chaotic world
I was thinking about my last post & how I've been trying to make my peace with the fact that it's okay to stick with what works. There might be something bigger & better out there but it's not worth the time, energy, or drama to try to figure it out. To piggyback on that …
I'm not sure if it's because I'm American or how I was raised or how my mind works or whatever, but there is this "what if" inside of me when it comes to products. Let me explain.What if this shampoo is alright but there's a better one out there for my hair? What if this …
CW: eating disorders, rude-ass people I feel like it's been a blur of holidays. First Rosh Hashanah, then Yom Kippur, & now Sukkot - all within a blink. I get the whole "tis the season" part of it but I'm still chewing on my New Year's resolutions. And still trying to make amends with myself …

There's just …

I've been thinking about what Dr. G told me to do with intrusive thoughts. She's mentioned to me a few times of acknowledging their presence (either by taking a moment or saying, "That's interesting") before releasing it & letting it go. I'm sure this sounds like an easy-peasy task for most of you. For me, …
I wrote the original list here & I was thinking that it was time for an updated list. I mean, it has been a year & I think quarantine has shifted everyone's priorities. I think we all have realized what we can live without & what is truly important to us. For me, I learned …
Hey - I know we haven't really talked in a few years but I need to get a few things off my chest. I figured this would be the best way to do it for a few reasons. One, I'm giving you your space but not sending this to you directly. Two, you can have …
