It's 4:35am or so says the clock on the top of this screen. I've been trying to go to sleep for a solid 3 hours at least. I've tried all the things. AC is on polar ice caps. Noise machine on rain storm (even though there's a natural rain storm outside). Weighted blanket. I can't… Continue reading A troubled heart

Broken isn’t bad
One of my friends posted this quote on Facebook, and it really struck a cord with me. Part of that is because it speaks so strongly to the last few years of my own life.

The sliver of light
It's funny looking at the last post and noticing that I said I would do battle again. I was thinking maybe next year. Maybe 6 months from now. Well...I didn't make it to the end of the week.

Thursday though it came on while I was running errands and… Continue reading Out of the wilderness

When life seems to be falling apart, when I don't know what else to do, I lean into… Continue reading Every hour
Perspective
I'm hanging out with a just turned 4 year old for the first part of this week. It's "Camp Auntie" because everyone else got to go to camp this week. Her perspective on life is interesting.
