Today I’m thinking about what makes me feel good, strong, capable, healthy. All that good stuff. What makes me feel physically strong and able to tackle everyday? What makes me feel ready emotionally for a difficult day? What makes me happy? I’ve noticed when I neglect myself, I feel unmotivated, unloved, exhausted, awful, guilty… soContinue reading “5 Things I Need To Feel Good”

A Little Adventure
A few days ago, I started to write my blog post for yesterday… and then I got distracted and never finished it. So, I’ll postpone that topic till next week in favor of writing this post. Wednesday- It was a normal day. I was feeling overwhelmed, as I do pretty much every day. I’d wokenContinue reading “A Little Adventure”
Partnership: Neurodiverse Couples
I’ve been pondering partnerships, more specifically my partnership with my husband. I believe in equality and I’ve always had an innate sense of justice and fairness. So having a fair and equal partnership has always been a priority for me. It’s hard figuring out the balance, though. So often, we assume an equal partnership isContinue reading “Partnership: Neurodiverse Couples”
Looking Back… I Never Could Have Imagined…
Seven years ago, I was in Mexico teaching kids English, exploring the country on the weekends and on vacations. I wasn’t dating and I had no dating prospects. I had just finished all but one class I needed to graduate and I walked for my degree, knowing I wouldn’t be back for school and I’dContinue reading “Looking Back… I Never Could Have Imagined…”
How To Not Lose Your Mind Road-tripping With Littles
My kids are 4 years old and 18 months old. I love them so much, but they drive me crazy. April 29th-May 7th we road-tripped down to Las Vegas, NV from Willamette Valley Oregon to see my family. It was my 18 month old’s first time seeing all but her Grandpa (who visited in February,Continue reading “How To Not Lose Your Mind Road-tripping With Littles”
Change
A few weeks ago I went to clean up our snack mess, so we could color eggs for Easter, and I went to grab some cleaning wipes and couldn’t find them where they normally are. I looked all over the place but they weren’t in the other common places we might find them (on theContinue reading “Change”
My Values and Beliefs: My Life Purpose
Taking a break from my normal content to share some other personal thoughts and observations I’ve had recently. I was scrolling Pinterest earlier today, and came across this quote by Rick Warren (who I don’t follow, by the way, but I am Christian) “Without God, life has no purpose, and without purpose life has noContinue reading “My Values and Beliefs: My Life Purpose”
Overwhelm
Overwhelmed. That’s the only way I know to describe this overpowering feeling of not knowing what to do, not feeling like doing anything because it all just seems so daunting, not caring about anything important or anyone else. Just wanting to evaporate into thin air and not exist anymore because it’s just all too much.Continue reading “Overwhelm”
Money Really Can Buy Happiness
I know we’ve all heard the saying “money won’t buy happiness,” and it’s always accompanied by some story about a poor man who is happy because he’s grateful for what he has and he has a good family and so much love, and some story on the opposite end of a wealthy person who isContinue reading “Money Really Can Buy Happiness”
Why Self-Diagnosing is Valid
I know what you’re probably thinking… that professionals know best, and you can’t really know unless you see a professional. Well, here’s my take on why that is fundamentally wrong. 1. Professionals can’t know everything. Yes there are specialists who specialize in diagnosing Autism, but regular therapists and counselors don’t know everything. It’d take aContinue reading “Why Self-Diagnosing is Valid”
