Week two of this 10 level Fibro flare. Each day I have said "Tomorrow." Yesterday I said "Self-care and work.", because walking was out of the question in terms of pain, and even when the edge was taken off, I was concerned about further damage. Waking up at 1:00 a.m. two days in a row … Continue reading Strength Through Adversity

Last month, a client booked me for the first two weeks of September.

Part of falling apart means picking up the pieces, even if "the pieces" are, in essence, yourself. It's not an easy step. In fact, it is being made far worse for me by external forces; all fighting to control me because something is lacking in their lives. When you are forced to rebuild your life, … Continue reading Chained

There is something about summer that causes terrible insomnia for me. It's not just the blistering heat & humidity of the days (and many nights). Even on cooler nights, I find myself completely and utterly unable to sleep. It's awful, especially when I'm yawning at 7:30 PM thinking "I can't wait to be in bed … Continue reading Insomniac City & Other Feelings
