I’m Okay
I have been struggling so much the past several weeks. When this happens, I begin feeling a bit panicked because of my past. If you know anything about me… you know that I had YEARS of extreme mental health struggle. I have been doing SO well since about late February/early March. I tend to do…

Fighting My Comfort Zone… and Having So Many Options
I tend to do things out of emotion or impulsivity a LOT. Most of that is due to my ADHD and honestly even just because of my trauma brain. I’m still learning healthy ways to cope and manage life. I’ll get there! I believe I will. I have come SO far, and I am starting…

4 Mile Race and General Wellness
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…

Consistency is NOT Perfection
I see it. It’s a glimpse, but it’s there. This is it, I think. This is what “balance and flexibility” look like. That place where I consistently “do the things,” but not perfectly. When things feel a little imperfect all the time, but imperfectly right. When things always feel like they could change and grow…

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…

Just a Few Days Without Social Media…

But, I always go back. There are definitely positive things about social media. I connect with my friends. There are old…

Trust Yourself
One of the reasons I was wondering if public school would be better for Ethan is because I didn’t trust that I knew how to teach him with his needs. I was looking at what other teenagers were doing at home, what I *thought* I should be doing with him, and that I didn’t know…

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…

Truly Living Wild and Free and What that Really Means for Me
We are currently in the car, driving from one place in Texas to the next place that we are visiting. We will be in the car a lot while we are here, but I’m enjoying my time! For the past many days, I have had a long anxiety about this trip. No reason, really, except…

You Stepped into My Egypt
We weren’t able to go to church this past Sunday because Robert is on call this week. He has to be at all meals when we have guests, and we had guests for breakfast and lunch on Sunday. It’s pretty rare for us to miss church these days, and I’m so grateful. Our church is…
