High Vibration Parenting
Okay, so I had a kind of revelation this weekend about my heightened anxiety levels. And it relates to a very strange parenting guidepost I use in certain situations: Whatever you do, don’t do it like Dad did. There are a lot of things I try to emulate in the way my Dad parented me.…
2023 Bullet Journal Printables!
Remember back before I had a bullet journal website and I wrote a lot about bullet journaling here? Well…I couldn’t afford to keep TWO websites that didn’t earn money so I’m back to using this one for both purposes! If you need bullet journal printable pages for your A5 sized notebook…here they are! This is…
Adrift.
I am struggling in ways I can’t quite articulate. My psychiatrist encouraged me in these downswings to try writing, but lately I end up in this weird pattern of thought. It goes something like this: And then I panic and delete all my social media off my phone. I was wishing I had “phone-call” friends…
Read Harder 2023 Printables
So, for those of you who don’t know I did the 2022 Read Harder challenge last year. My completed challenge is here: Well, they just realeased the 2023 prompts and I’m excited to do it again! If you’ve never done it before and feel a little overwhelmed, keep an eye on the Goodreads page where…
Roller Coaster of Updates
Yesterday was a roller coaster of a day not helped by my exhaustion since I have a senior dog who won’t sleep with anyone but me, but who also won’t sleep. I can’t go into the details of my roller coaster day but suffice it to say: If you have days where you feel like…
On Aging And Learning To Prioritize Myself
The other day one of my Facebook friends asked what the best part about aging was, and I gave an answer but I didn’t feel like I phrased it exactly how I wanted so OF COURSE my brain has been thinking about it in the background ever since. (This is what I call “writer brain.”)…
On Oversimplifications.
There’s an oversimplification of conflict – especially of the political variety – that tends to result in non-useful mantras like, “When given the choice between being right and being kind, always choose being kind.” Or attitudes like, “No argument is worth losing family,” or “I love the PERSON, not the POLITICS.” But as someone whose…
A book review? Kinda?
I read a wide variety of books. I read middle-grade, YA, graphic novels, adult fiction of ALL varieties, and non-fiction across every section of the library. So when the Read Harder 2022 Challenge listed to read a book from a friend with completely different reading styles popped up, I was stumped. But then I looked…
Oops. Forgot to title this entry. I’m out of the habit of blogging.
So I was looking at my “blog page” this morning (the page that shows recent blog posts since the front page of my site is now a placeholder page) and I realized there’s two big things I haven’t updated the site about yet. First: I was permanently placed in the “managerial” position at my small…
It is okay to invite people over when my house is a mess?
Hi. I’m writing here today because twitter is becoming a hellscape and I need to have some place to dump my thoughts. The reason I’m so hesitant to write here is because it’s such a mess since the great blog hack of 2020’ish. So many of my archives have links dumped into them and it’s…
