A lot has happened in the past six months and it all came crashing down in the last in the last 2 days, bringing with it a whirlwind of emotions. To quote Charles Dickens: ‘It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was theContinue reading “The Whirlwind”

Today was rough. REALLY rough. While I wasn’t expecting the old year to go out with a bang, it kinda doesn’t surprise that it’s going out with a rough patch. I can honestly say that the neighbors upstairs played a large role for where I was mentally all day. The fellow has had a hardContinue reading “Today My Forest is Dark”

As 2023 slowly winds down, I’ve started to hear rumblings of people making New Year’s resolutions. I’ve never been big on making resolutions, as they always seemed like an expectation that you may not be able to adhere to due to extenuating circumstances beyond your control. This year, SO MUCH has changed and it seemedContinue reading “Out With the Old…”

The village that we thought we had, albeit a small one, vanished. Once we moved, that lack of a village was madeContinue reading “When You Need A Recharge…”

As I sit here typing this, I am having trouble finding the words to say what’s in my head. There has been SO MUCH that has happened in the last two weeks. To say that I am overwhelmed would be an understatement. A lot has happened in the last year. A year where we encounteredContinue reading “When You’re Left Feeling Invisible”

I have never felt more abandoned that I have right now. Knowing everything that has happened in the last year, combined with the knowledge with what we’ll be facing in the coming weeks, overwhelmed doesn’t even begin to cover it. This is no longer a matter of ‘just breathe’ and ‘one step as a time’.Continue reading “I’m Done With the Lemons!”

For the past year, it seems like life has just been one HUGE roller coaster ride.
