Hey There!

 Well, it's been a hot minute since I've posted something no one will read.  So here I am.

Life update:  I suffered through menopause only to have a mental health crisis in the middle of it while being overworked, regretting some life choices... oh let's not forget the horrible dogs we "rescued".  

That was 2021/22... S,o FF to 2023, I started counseling for some childhood trauma and other traumatic life events to address my intense depression that I was struggling to hide and just didn't want to feel like that anymore. I also didn't understand that I was having flashbacks and old memories that I had long buried were bubbling up to the surface.   It was about crippling, and I didn't want to find myself back on the path I went down 20 years earlier when I tried to end my life. (oh! wait!, no one knows this about me).  So... therapy!  HIGHLY recommend if you are even slightly struggling.  Don't be ashamed!  It will help you find yourself again.

So here I am, 2025, still in therapy (NO SHAME).  I am still struggling at times, but again NO SHAME. I went back to school in Sept 2024, because God called me to more than I'm doing to help people.  I want to help kids too.  Anyway, it's been a year and God's grace is certainly on school.  I am so grateful.  President's list, 4.0, loving it.  

I am still overemployed and struggle to balance it all.  My routine sounds awful, but we're managing in this temporary season.  Like waking up early for Bible time and journaling, then attending school, followed by work, exercise, cooking and cleaning supper, and heading back up for other tasks and more school.  So thankful for technology that allows me to do all this from home. Sometimes I even sleep for a few hours.  

So there's the update for now.  What has happened in your life?  I'd love an update!

Also let me know what interests you and would keep you coming back. 

Last weekend, after getting my hair done.  That's why it's straight.

Maybe, see you before another 4 or 5 years pass.
