I’ve made no bones about the fact that I’ve been in and out of professional therapy for the past 5 years. It’s become a vital part of my own journey and truly has opened my eyes to a lot of things about myself and others. As my current therapist says, we’re all in some state […]
Going Off The Social Media Grid
This is a very ironic blog post. Mostly because without social media, bloggers like myself would have virtually (see what I did there) no audience. No one would know we existed, what we wrote, or that we toiled at computers trying to find the words to express the feelings in our hearts and in our […]
Kids Today! What’s The Matter With These Kids Today!
Do you remember the song from Bye, Bye Birdie?? Here’s the clip in case (by the way, love the line about how will we beat the Russians. Yikes.) I feel like everyday when I open my FB feed there are at least 10 articles written by expert Hoody Hah from the University of Know It […]
Autoimmune Disease and Me! Hashimoto’s Thyroiditis
Because there is nothing more exciting then hearing about somebody else’s medical issues, I thought I’d dedicate a whole post to it! Just kidding. I’m going to make this short and brief and my only purpose in sharing is to shed some light on autoimmune disorders. Wait, nope, scratch that, I know nothing. I truly […]

The boys had their version, we had ours, everybody uncomfortably giggled, hopefully learned something, and walked out scared to death? Yeah, well, Ladies, if you’re in the 40 – 50 year old […]
The Myth of The Magical Conversation
I am a product of television and movies. I watched a large amount of both as a child and although I don’t think it made me a bad person or flawed my character, it did give me certain ideas about life and relationships that I have come to believe are somewhat unrealistic. The most damaging […]
Lessons I’ve Learned From Queen Elizabeth
Queen Elizabeth is 90 years old. And I have just finished watching all 10 episodes of The Crown which, as we know, makes me an expert on Queen Elizabeth. I have decided to follow her example for my health and wellness for 2017. Here’s what I have learned: Take A Lot of Walks I knew […]
Here’s To All The Rescuers – Stop It
As we start the new year, seems every publication is filled with one message to women for 2017 – STOP SAYING YES TO EVERYTHING. It’s such a nice concept and so empowering, that word “no”. But There is a particular breed of human, that you may not be aware of, that will find this extremely […]
