It Doesn’t Stop Being Difficult

I'm lost and I'm not sure how to find myself. I'm lost and I'm not sure where the search should begin. I feel myself spiraling again. I feel myself disappearing again. The darkness overwhelmes. There's distance between us....except when there isn't. A single interaction can drag me back down. A single look still has the... Continue Reading →

A Change of Scenery

Why is it when we change our scenery we can get a better perspective? What is it about physically changing our location that can compeltely change our mindsets?

Throughout this past year, possibly for even longer than that, I've come to realize that our every day lives are just a race that we are running. I can't find a better analogy for life than running. I think this is because no matter how many people are around you, positive or negative, running (and... Continue Reading →

In Case of Emergency

This past weekend I ran another 5K. However this time, the "safe" route of the road race wasn't as safe as we all expected it to be.

Keeping Perspective

Back in January I wrote about having a new perspective as I create a new life and try to learn what this new life means for me. "We" have officially hit the one year mark since the words were spoken that my husband loved someone else and he thought we should get a divorce. "We"... Continue Reading →

Speak Your Truth

In a world with millions of people, we can expect there will be billions - trillions - of differing thoughts and opinions.
