Inspiration from Betty
Invent a holiday! Explain how and why everyone should celebrate. I wish today was a holiday. But because it’s not and I had to go to work, I will make this very brief. There needs to be a holiday that is simply a day where everybody spends it doing something they love. Whatever that is.… →

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

People Need to Know
What’s something you would attempt if you were guaranteed not to fail. The first thing that comes to mind is writing a book. But the thing is, I’m already attempting it. And while there is no guarantee that I won’t fail, I’m doing it anyway. In fact, I know I’m going to “fail” in that… →

What Doesn’t Kill You
What was the hardest personal goal you’ve set for yourself? I can answer this question with one word…survive. I don’t really set goals for myself, as silly as that sounds. In 2019 I decided I was going to run a half marathon and got pretty close to accomplishing that goal. Covid cancelled the race before… →

Goodbye, Goodbye, Goodbye
What details of your life could you pay more attention to? It’s interesting that this question came up today. I know exactly what details I could pay more attention to. And that is simply, how I feel. I talk a lot about how I’m much more on top of my mental health now than I… →
