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…
I have taken breaks from social media many, many times over the years. I always go back. Sometimes the same day. Sometimes I will manage to have days, weeks, or even months without it. But, I always go back. There are definitely positive things about social media. I connect with my friends. There are old…

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…

Learning to Focus on What Matters- Just Showing Up
This morning, I woke up to a message from a friend. She sent me a post from one of her running friends, and it was honestly life changing. It wasn’t necessarily anything new, but for some reason, it hit different. I had been thinking about not focusing on races for a bit because I was…

Just Grateful- Always Wanting to Share My Story
It’s so interesting to look back on the past several years knowing that I had ZERO idea where I would be today… physically and mentally/emotionally. (also literally in a whole new state) When I talk with people who I just recently met, it’s so hard to explain to them where I’ve come from and who…

Learning to be Flexible with the Roller Coaster of Life
One of the things that I have been working with my therapist on is perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinking (and living). It has always been a major challenge for me my whole adult life pretty much (well, and before I’m sure). Working with this therapist has been such a different experience for me than the past…

So Much Growth
I’ve been learning so much about myself through the good and the hard things. I think that’s the way life goes… there are always going to be hard things to learn and grow through. If I’ve learned anything, it’s that life is a roller-coaster… and honestly, I’m learning to be okay with that. Without the…

Overcoming Hard Days + Exciting Possibilities
Literally the day after I wrote my last post, I woke up sick. I haven’t been sick in quite a while. I had Covid in November, then before that it was a long time. I used to be sick all the time, and I hated it because I was made to feel guilty for it…

There’s Nothing Wrong with Seeking Excellence + Learning How to Avoid Self-Sabotage
In the past, every time I have started to get consistent with healthy habits of any kind, I started self-sabotaging without realizing it. Then I went through months of struggle. This has probably happened a dozen times or more. I’m sure part of it has to do with un-medicated ADHD and other mental health struggles,…

Healing Isn’t Linear- An Update About Our Beautiful Life
I have been pretty busy these days, so blogging hasn’t come so easily. I will sit down to write, then I get distracted because I have other things to focus on. I think this is a good thing, though. I don’t have a lot of “sit around” time. This blog has always just been my…
