Healing Trauma
I can’t let the darkness win.
It’s Time to Love Myself
I’ve been struggling to blog, I’ve been blocked. So much has changed in the last year, I don't even recognize myself a large percentage of the time. How can I figure out what to write if I don't know who I am? And then I remember that the best shit I've written was never planned. … Continue reading It’s Time to Love Myself
Set Goals / Smash Goals
How I made it through a week of travel and didn't end in a #FibroFlare! The trip was long and it was a grind. We got to Vegas last Sunday and I succeeded in my goal of not arriving in Vegas broken. WOO HOO! I have always put my health on hold while traveling. I … Continue reading Set Goals / Smash Goals

4 Tips for Making Rest Days Count
I'm not doing anything, so I'm resting, right? Yes, in the technical sense, but let's look at rest in the respect of "rest and recharge".

Disappointment isn’t Failure
I got news last night that my Disability claim was denied. After seeing a judge and a judge appointed Dr., a man in a robe decided that I'm not disabled. I didn't care much for the whole process. It was stressful, expensive and quite honestly made me feel less than human. I don't know if … Continue reading Disappointment isn’t Failure
Attitude of Gratitude
Let's talk about mental health. Specifically, how chronic illness affects mental health. I'm lucky to have a handful of people in my life that are understanding about the limitations I have because of Fibro. Their efforts to understand and accept help me keep my shit in perspective. My life looks different than most and they … Continue reading Attitude of Gratitude
Speak Your Truth
The quote I posted a little bit ago really struck a chord with me. I was drawn to meditate on my Throat Chakra almost immediately. The throat chakra holds your truth, your ownership of your place in the world and your ability to speak that truth unapologetically. I have some baggage from childhood that affects … Continue reading Speak Your Truth
At Long Last – The New Chapter
I started working with my awesome Fibromyalgia Mentor, Jen Bro, a couple of years ago. She has been instrumental in many of my "ah-ha" moments during my search for healing answers. The most recent being about six months ago. I was depressed, my body ached (so much more than normal), my soul was tired. I … Continue reading At Long Last – The New Chapter
