Life Lately
I found out Wednesday that the reason I was still feeling bad (it kept getting worse) is that I had strep in addition to the flu! The benefit of it being strep is that I could take an antibiotic! After less than 24 hours on it, I felt so much better. I’m still not 100%…

Learning To Be More Intentional
I have been trying to write a blog post for days. It has felt nearly impossible because I’ve had the flu. It just won’t go away! Because of this, my thoughts are kind of all over the place. I keep going to bed hoping that I will wake up feeling better the next day, then…

No Longer Shrinking Myself
After four doses of my new medication, I’ve already started to feel noticeably better. I didn’t think that was possible because I have read it can take up to 2-6 weeks. But then I googled and realized that a lot of people noticed a difference almost right away (especially if they were in a depressive…

As I Reflect on 2024

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…

What is my motive?
Anyone who knows me knows that I tend to overthink the majority of the time. After my last post about allowing myself to “just be,” I have been working hard at doing that. I have had a week and a half of processing that, what it means for me, and how to live that out…

Messy and Beautiful- Cease Striving
Ten days ago, I wrote a blog post called “In a Healthy Place.” The main purpose of sharing that was to share about how healthy this place that we live is, but I also mentioned that I am not depressed for the first time in winter (in years). I also just wanted to share about the…

10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment
Emily P. Freeman is one of my favorite podcasters and authors. Every year, she puts out “10 Questions for Reflection & Discernment,” and I love to answer these questions each year as a reflection of my previous year and the beginning of a new year. This is from the pdf with those questions: What worked? So…
