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…

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…

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…

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…

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…
