Balance is the big word for the past couple of years. I’ve looked into it to see where I can feel this so-called balance. Nowhere to be found! I’m pulled this way and that and NEVER feel like “I’ve got this!” At home, there’s never a dull moment. I’m never bored- I’ll tell you that […]
Is it even possible to multitask? My whole life I thought I was multitasking and wanting to do it better, but feeling like I failed so often. In this fast-paced world, everyone wants to get as much done in the shortest amount of time. But I have been saved! The more I research and study […]

I can’t believe it’s been 10 years since he died. Wow, an entire decade! In some ways, it feels like a year ago, in some ways it feels like it was a different lifetime. It’s interesting how the stages of grief feel as you get further down the path of moving forward. It’s been difficult […]
Not everyone has a major event in their life that causes grief- thank goodness. I didn’t even recognize how much mourning I had done over the years until I studied grief. Yes, I did have a major event that caused heartache and luckily while trying to move forward I studied despair. I found out I […]
I’m sure this song hits everyone in some way. We probably all have been told at some point to hide our scars. We may think that no one will love us as we are. Well this song will help you know that you are beautiful just the way you are and worthy of everything- especially […]
When I went through the loss of my husband and the healing that goes along with suicide I found a few music artists that I connected strongly with. Kelly Clarkson is one of those. I love her song Piece by Piece. It’s a song that hits close to home. At the beginning of my healing […]

Growing up, my life was filled with love and Disney shows. My favorite princess was Cinderella. It’s funny how I imagined my life would go. I never thought life would be hard- no, it’s like a fairy tale (well I only pictured the end of the fairy tale!) It seems to me that so […]
This is a good one! I know sometimes we want to go back and capture all of our memories and this is a song about that. I love how it talks about having some memories that aren’t so sweet, but we have to know some bad times or our life is incomplete. I do know […]
Love this one. Especially when I need something to bring me up and make me feel like I AM NOT A VICTIM! “Catch my breath, no one can hold me back! I ain’t got time for that” . \. Catch My Breath ~ Kelly Clarkson . I don’t wanna be left behind Distance was a […]

Have you ever been on the ride MANTA at Sea World San Diego? A few years ago our kids were waiting patiently for this ride to open. We were there opening week. The ride, much like any roller coaster ride, felt like my life story! Waiting in line forever must be how I felt before […]
