Last August, I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. This diagnosis was shocking for me. I was never diagnosed with pre-diabetes. I went zero to full blown type 2. I was surprised, but it explained a lot of symptoms I was experiencing—hair loss, constant thirst, fatigue, constant sickness. We are…

January Favorites 2024
January was approximately 843 days long. I wanted January to be a fresh start. I think we all wanted that. It wasn’t the pure trash that the past year has been but honestly it was not the greatest. I had some setbacks (emotional, spiritual, and psychologically) but I also experienced…

2022… Please be better.
I haven’t posted on this thing in nearly a year. 2021 was a year of such ups and downs, I’m not sure how long it will take me to really process it all. It felt like the good was consistently overshadowed by the bad. It only seems fitting as I…

Goodbye and Good Riddance 2020, Hello 2021!
I don’t need to tell any of you how much of a dumpster fire 2020 was. You all lived through it. 2020 took too much from everyone, some more than others. I don’t want to dwell on the frustration, sadness and heartache that 2020 brought. I’ll be honest largely my…
