I would love to sit down and write hearts and flowers nonsensical prose, but right now, it isn't where I am.

I'm having one of those days where anxiety & stress are overwhelming. Two steps away from hyperventilating, overwhelming. No, I don't need pity or to talk to anyone. I'm safe and will (probably) live to see another day. I considered calling my doctor or texting someone, and then chose not to do either. I'm that … Continue reading I Didn’t Sign Up For This

Today is also #NationalSisterDay. Thank you to my unbiological sister, Shani. She's the diamond to my sapphire.

As I went over the feed for this month, I noticed the photo challenge is garnering a nice amount of attention. 😊 Possibly more than the inspirational things I normally share on a semi-regular basis. 🤔 I've also noticed that, each time I'm able to write, the statistics go up even further. Mind you, I'm … Continue reading Musings Credited to Insomnia, Migraines, & Humidity
