On the Precipice of Change
I am a person who gets excited by change. Maybe it is the fact that it offers new possibilities or I just seem to be blessed with a positive outlook. Being on the precipice of change is a different story. I want to be able to take action, talk about what is happening openly, and […]
The Good and Bad of a Good Day
I keep having more and more good days. This is an achievement and something to celebrate. So, I wanted to document the goodness of a good day, but also be clear about the rough parts. I know we’d all like to think it’s all sunshine and rainbows, there is the other side of a good […]
Journey to Motherhood
I love being a mother, and I love my children more than words can express. But at the end of the day, motherhood can be really hard. This is an excerpt from a longer essay about my motherhood experience. This is about my real thoughts and feelings before I became a mother. It wasn’t a […]

When You’re Not Good Enough for Imposter Syndrome and Realizing You Were Failing for a Different Reason than You Thought.
I’ve been working on a piece about imposter syndrome for a few weeks now.

I finally realized today, that I couldn’t write something about being an imposter, when I feel […]
The Ups and Downs
Note – this isn’t as polished as a piece that I post on purpose… because I’m going through the ups and downs. I do plan to come back to edit/improve for the future. The unpredictability of chronic illness may be the most difficult aspect for me to wrap my mind around. I also believe it […]
