It amazes me how different people identify different things within you. Some people have this incredible ability to truly see inside your soul, whereas others only see enough until you no longer serve a purpose in their life. A friend recently told me I had a "beautiful light within" and later pointed out that I … Continue reading It’s Okay To Change Your Mind

At 4:00 this morning, I thought someone was trying to break into my house. That is precisely how much noise an almost two-year old cat was making in her attempt to climb something, simply to give Mommy the cat version of a middle finger. She scared the crap out of me. I had thirty seconds … Continue reading WTF Moments & Pushing The Body

Normally I love Tuesdays, but today I woke up in pain. Granted, I didn't go to bed last night feeling as though I could run a marathon, but this pain is different. In turn, it's making me irritable beyond words. I am so bitchy, I can't stand the sound of my own thoughts. 😦 I … Continue reading Tuesday Blues

I've had yet another rough, stressful week. I am emotionally exhausted. I'm also in pain that no one should have to be in. In an ideal world, I'd be able to curl up this weekend and not have to face anything until next weekend. No, I'm not delusional, I've just had enough. I am sitting … Continue reading This Week Is Over

WARNING: Potential Triggers I'm a ridiculously intuitive person, which has the tendency of scaring people if they aren't used to it. I live my life paying attention to the same things most people ignore. However, it is virtually impossible to ignore your body and mind when they're screaming at you.

The best laid plans. 😦 I was in so much pain yesterday that I decided a "quick nap" was in order around 1:00 PM. We will not discuss that I slept way too long. In turn, I didn't get any editing done. I fed cat and kitten because they were both staring at me pathetically, … Continue reading How Did Your Day Go Yesterday?

I have come to cherish my weekends like a newborn baby. The arrival of Friday makes me feel less guilty about self-care. This week in particular, I need it.

I'm sitting here, minding my own business, and my pain levels shot from a 4 to a solid 15 in just a few minutes. Has this happened to anyone else out of nowhere?

Sleep doesn't come easily for me these days. In fact, I often wonder how long I can function without sleep. Seemingly I can only sleep when I'm sick, upset, or exhausted beyond words. No one likes wasting time staring at the ceiling. Tossing and turning for hours is overrated and I'm not going to do it. … Continue reading Sleep, Pain, & Stress
