“Falling” thoughts…
The yearly truth about Seasonal Affective Disorder or SAD (and what I hope it will look like for me this winter.) This time of year here in central Pennsylvania is beautiful! The trees are at their peak of fall beauty. Saturated jaw-dropping colors of bright yellows, oranges, dark purples to fluorescent reds light up the […]
Have you ever?
Have you ever felt like you want to just disappear? Have you ever wondered what life would be like for those around you without you in it? Have you ever felt like their lives might be better if you never existed? Have you ever felt like you cause more pain than peace in other people’s […]
Happy?
I feel like there is one word that sums up each persons individual goals in this life. One word that gets us out of bed in the morning, and puts us back in bed at night. One word that we allow to determine if we have found success, accomplishment, or freedom. That one word is… […]
Dear Diary-
–My Dad— I heard someone say recently, “My dad is not living anymore, I hate hearing about how people don’t get along with their dads. I would give anything to be able to be with my dad right now”. This person showed his love and appreciation to his dad while he was living and his […]

DIY Bunny Bag
Easter is coming up quickly and this is a great time to dust off the old sewing machine and do a fun sewing project with your kids. At my house my kids always want me to teach them how to sew on the sewing machine but then it seems that I always get anxious and […]
Love vs. Fear
This whole COVID19 thing has a lot of people in a panic. I have to admit I have felt it too. It is something we as a whole world are dealing with. As I have been following what the media and others have to say about the whole situation I have found it even more […]
Dear Diary, losing focus
Lately I have felt it almost impossible to be able to focus. I have noticed this previously with my mental illnesses but for some reason recently it feels more exaggerated than before. If I sit down to write out a game plan for my day I am quickly distracted with something else. It almost feels […]
