I don’t set New Year Resolutions. I have goals I focus on all year. I also review my year at the end of each year. What worked? What didn’t work? What were my accomplishments? What were my struggles? My word for 2023 is Nourish. I’m not just talking about food. I will work on nourishing […]

Congratulations to my husband on 6 years no alcohol. Yup he has a beer in hand 6 years later, a Heineken 0.0% because at this point having NA drinks doesn’t bother him or make him want to drink, he just enjoys beer and having a NA beer while watching the game and that’s ok. What […]

I got home late Sunday, 11pm at the airport and home technically Monday after midnight. I have been fine but last night as I lay in bed trying to fall asleep my mind ran as it normally does and I freaked out. Due to my independent nature and just how I am, I am fine […]

Toxic Positivity
Absolutely love this book I am listening too right now by a therapist. It highlights so much truth in just the 25% I am into it. I don’t believe in toxic positivity, I don’t believe it is in gods hands and that’s my belief and it’s ok if we have different beliefs. I do not […]

5 years alcohol free today. I am SO proud of my husband and all he did to remove alcohol and better his life and our life. I could not be more proud of him. Alcohol is such the norm but that does not mean it’s healthy or good for you as we both know it […]
R&R Much Needed

Rest & relaxation and being alone is often needed for me throughout this TBI journey. This is so not like me pre TBI. But it’s an absolute must for me now. So I had a week. I was losing my mind. Living in a camper plus 2 dogs and my husband, not being in the […]
