Wow. August turned out to be busier than I expected. I’m not going to make a lofty goal of posting everyday for September, because I already missed yesterday! I had a few planned busy-ish days, but didn’t post everyday like I wanted. However, I did get my act together with some personal things. That’s the… Read More

Struggles & Updates
I’m going to get right into it – 1) I’ve been struggling with my health the last 2.5ish years.These struggles have taken a toll on me physically. While I’m really in tune with my body and how it works, it was also a time for me to learn more about my body as I’ve aged.… Read More Struggles & Updates
Randall had a panic attack and we’ve been outed on tv
I’m finally 100% after my sinus/allergies/flu issue and had a conversation with a good friend the other night regarding the show This Is Us. For both of us, the first reason it caught our attention was Milo Ventimiglia. (I’m a proud Team Jess member).

I did reach a low that I’ve never reached before, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. I needed to take a break from blogging and then I moved, and my dad’s sickness dramatically declined. Taking care… Read More Let’s catch up…
My Anxiety History
I didn’t know that I had anxiety as a kid. I didn’t realize until I was a teenager in therapy that all those thoughts and managing possible scenarios in my mind was anxiety. I’d think about all the possibilities that could be thrown at me upon getting home from school, twirling practice, or from being… Read More My Anxiety History
