For a long time, I believed grief had an expiration date. I thought healing meant I should be “over it.” But grief doesn’t vanish it transforms.
Weekly Reflection
I can honestly say it’s been a better one with the ole wonky head. My body always seems to function so much better when the weather isn’t gloomy
Sunday Walk
Sundays for me are usually spent buried behind my laptop, writing and creating for the week ahead. September was a heavy month full of emotions and a body that’s been loudly protesting.

Some milestones don’t look like celebrations to anyone else, but they matter deeply.
Thriving not Surviving
Those days when you're just going through the motions, surviving but not really living. When toxic relationships drain your energy, when anxiety and depression feel like unwelcome guests that just won't leave, when you're tired of putting on a brave face while feeling broken inside.
Taking a moment to appreciate
One of the many things I do in my daily, is to take a moment to appreciate moments like this, to be grateful I get to have these moments.

Reflection, Coffee, and Therapy
Remember that even on the gloomiest days, we're still surrounded by little blessings. They're always there, waiting to be noticed, waiting to be felt, waiting to remind us that we're never really alone in the storm.
A Bump in the Road
I recently encountered a bump in the road. I experienced tantrums, shed ugly tears, and had moments when I wanted to give up on many things. There were times I felt done, over ugly people. My mental health took a downturn, my physical health suffered, and I found myself emotionally drained.Yet

Entering 2025 with no plan
I am the woman who enters each new year with a clear plan and defined goals. It has always been important for me to set intentions and identify what I want to achieve. However, for the first time, I’m starting this year without a specific plan.
