Endure the Process

As I sit yet again at another cardiologist appointment, I’m a bit exhausted with the process. It’s been 6 months since I began having heart issues. In October 2021 my heart suddenly stopped beating briefly 6-8 times every single minute. After my heart pauses, that next beat was so hard that it took my breath…

Back to the basics

Since the anniversary date of Jimmy’s passing which was October 19th, I haven’t really been motivated to do anything. I haven’t been sleeping well and my anxiety is on 1000% along with fatigue and migraines. I work hard and get little rest but usually I’m still amped about working my online stores and my writing…

Masking the Pain

It’s no shock that some people heal faster than others. Individuals respond to things differently, but everyone doesn’t have the understanding to consider this important fact when they see other people experiencing the pain of death, trials, and other hardships. My situation was no different. I can’t even begin to tell you the horrible things…

How did I get here…

Waking up on a Saturday morning to little hands tugging at my comforter and sweet voices calling me “Mommy” is my normal now. I’m exhausted and mentally drained from working all week and I would like nothing more than to just sleep in without interruption, but I’m the only one here to tend to these…
