• “Cease Striving” + Simplifying & Letting Go Even More

  

  I had an appointment with my psychiatric nurse practitioner/therapist today which was so helpful. I’ve struggled off and on all summer. I will feel better, then the anxiety and depression will hit out of nowhere. Life is so good right now. I feel like I’ve hit a “sweet spot” through the decisions that I’ve made…

  Challenge and Joy My brain has been struggling a bit more lately, but I will always have days and weeks of anxiety (and sometimes depression). It’s just how my brain is. But I KNOW how to take care of myself now. I haven’t been working out as much or eating quite as well lately, but…

• What I’ve Been Up To

  

  I have been so busy in all the good ways. I have had much more focus the past couple of weeks. I’ve done a lot of work on our yard (front and back), but we still have SO much work to do. I’m here for it, though! Building Up My Homestead (since we moved) I…

• Upcoming Plans and Prep

  

  I was looking through some old pictures the other day, and I realized that I missed doing some things that brought me joy! Now that we are more settled into Colorado, I’m feeling like I can start doing some things that I used to do… NOT because I feel like I have to, but because…

• Simple & Balanced Nutrition

  

  Nutrition has been a really hard thing for me to get consistent with over the years. This year, I have finally gotten into a good place with it! What has made with consistency with nutrition so difficult for me over the years? What have I learned? What has changed? What resources have I used to…
