From Hardest to Easiest
What’s the hardest decision you’ve ever had to make? Why? Because I’m pretty sure I’ve answered this question, and if I haven’t, I think it’s easy to guess what my answer would be…the hardest decision was to quit my job. Why? Because I had worked there for 19 years. Substitute the word “hard” for “sad”… →

Music/Movie Monday–Sara’s Broken Wings
I’m going to be very self-centered and honest with my answer. Who are my current most favorite people? Me. And my husband. Honorable mention goes to my supervisor who is incredibly understanding about the fact that I am actively applying for other jobs because working conditions are becoming stupid at work. Not because of her.… →

“Something Good” Sunday–Puppy Prozac and Pillows
The question today is about my favorite animals. While my favorite animal is, technially, turtles, I’ve got to go with dogs right now. Cats too, but my dogs have been my focus lately.

It’s the Nature of Routines

Maybe It’s the Moxie
I’m pleased with myself that my answer to this question today is the same as it was a year ago: Absolutely not! The experiences I have had in my childhood, my teen years, and my 20s are not anything that makes me feel like I want to go back and relive any of it. There… →

Say What You Want to Say
Mental illness doesn’t define you. Having a mental illness diagnosis does not change who you are. People need to know this. Also, using your voice is the best way share your struggles so that others will know that they aren’t alone. →

Uncle Ricky & “Little” Joe
“Why don’t you write about your grandpa?” That’s what my husband suggested when I told him about this prompt. Prior to me telling him about it, I had quite a post written in response to this. It was quite snarky and dark. I’m not very fond of my family right now. I don’t have much… →
