I’m not going to say that Monday was the worst day of my life, because I know that’s both untrue and overly dramatic. That being said, it still sucked. A lot. I love my job, but work was rough. The last week or so has been pretty bumpy; nothing is ever easy. Mary says that’s […]
So I Said No.
I’d like to say I’m sorry. But not to you. To myself. I’m sorry. I’m sorry I haven’t written in a while. I’m sorry this page has collected dust. I’m sorry I haven’t updated my plug-ins for a month. I’m sorry I haven’t been around. I got swept up in another whirlwind. My dreams are […]
There Is No Us. There Is No Them.
I don’t usually watch the news. I find that if I turn it on, it’s impossible to turn off. And it’s usually the same thing over and over again. 5 minutes worth of news lasts 3 hours as reporters and anchors tell the same story again and again. It only fuels the fire and causes […]
Fighting For Our Lives
I haven’t written in a few weeks. Recovering from this surgery is slow, boring, and depressing. There. I said it. I’ve had no inspiration. Whenever I find myself lacking in inspirational material, I usually try to watch a movie that’s sure to stir some emotions in my heart. So that’s what I did last night. […]

Which might seem strange, given that I am a vocal advocate for mental health, eating disorders, and recovery as a whole. But there […]
Tomorrow’s Great Story
I should have stopped at 2. Surgeries, that is. 2 hip surgeries per saga. 3 is just too many. I’m not going to blame my relapse on my hip injury. Actually, I might. I think I’m entitled to that. I first injured my hip exactly 10 years ago. I had 3 surgeries over the course […]
“Someone Should Have Warned Her”
It was my first day of training and there I sat in our team meeting. The meeting had started late because I was late. I was in a car accident the day before and had to rent a car that morning. Not at all the way I had planned on starting my brand new job. […]
Stripped Away
Raw. Naked. Vulnerable. This is how I feel. Stretched to the max. Out of my comfort zone. At the breaking point. This is where I am. Crying. Laughing. Straining. This is what I do. In the past, I’ve written posts that draw the parallels between the lives of humans and rose bushes; I strongly believe that […]
