Writing blog posts is getting harder because my amount of energy is getting smaller. At my last therapy appointment I figured out that up until last week, by brain was still settling into where it needed to land in order to heal. And we are there friends….we sure are there. I am going to callContinueContinue reading “Participation Ribbons are Still Ribbons”

…and you lose some.
Keeping score with depression: you win some, you lose some. Some days are great and some days you slow clap yourself to the kitchen because getting out of bed in and of itself was a huge accomplishment. A lot of books and essays about depression are witty and comical with a stint of serious towardsContinueContinue reading “…and you lose some.”
I don’t know about you, but I hate feeling 22.
Well hello again fellow bloggers and blog enthusiasts. It has been a long while since I have written a blog post. I seem to shift in and out of times in my life when I really feel refreshed by writing out my thoughts and others when I would rather be sorting through life doing somethingContinueContinue reading “I don’t know about you, but I hate feeling 22.”

sell out.
This is a work in progress… When was the last time you gave your dreams away? Stepped down? Sold out? We sold ours for some pretty lights and a music machine that spits out beats that are nice and predictable. Like God should be. Just how we like it. Funny how that works. Some dreamsContinueContinue reading “sell out.”
disenchantment.
Disenchantment: noun, disen’CHantment: a feeling of disappointment about someone or something you previously respected or admired. That sounds about right. I am disenchanted with the Church. I know that is a broad statement and the only church I experience on a regular basis is a western interpretation of what church is. So I guess IContinueContinue reading “disenchantment.”
peace.
This is the second time I have posted this. And I didn’t know that until I already posted it this time and I went back through my blog…. Clearly this has rooted itself in my life…. It’s so hard to understand peace. It’s such a simple thing yet I really cannotContinueContinue reading “peace.”
getting my s**t together.
I am such a freaking baby. I am so aggravated with myself. I was flipping through one of my old Bibles, looking at passages I have highlighted and written by, and I came across these two passages… Hebrews 11:36-49 (speaking of those who have been faithful to God’s call) “But others were tortured, refusing toContinueContinue reading “getting my s**t together.”
i don’t do relationships that way.
My favorite TV show is Bones (It’s kind of unhealthy how much I like this show). One of my favorite characters (really they are all my favorites…) is Angela. She is an artist with a free spirit, totally in touch with herself and great with people. Well, over the course of the show, Angela hasContinueContinue reading “i don’t do relationships that way.”
surrender.
Surrender. What a concept. I didn’t realize it until I read Stephanie’s post about surrender that I had been thinking a lot about it. I know I just posted something that said I had a lot going on in my life and I’m not ready to write about it yet but I think that I mayContinueContinue reading “surrender.”
