getting in the ditches
This month, I've jumped into the conversation on mental health, anxiety, and depression. A couple of things I've read listened to and pondered are listed below. Feel free to download and enjoy yourself. Presentation on DEPRESSION by Dr. Gary Oliver - Fellowship...
a day to remember
A year ago today, my love took a huge leap of faith and moved across the state, well really out of state, to take a promotion that was no small act of bravery. He filled a tough position that had been know to prey like a serpent. But with dogged determination he...
mental health link up
This month the #NWArkCares bloggers have been tackling MENTAL HEALTH. This topic is raw and real. It means different things to different people. It's brought inward reflection, verbal processing over coffee and some real feelings and realizations expressed...
what can you do: Mental Health
So this month, I've spent some time sharing my story with anxiety and how I've learned to cope with the issues I deal with, but what about the rest? I'll tell you in researching and beginning conversation with some Northwest Arkansas Bloggers, I've realized that we...
cope with hope
Last week, I tried to be pretty candid and share about my own struggle with anxiety and previously, depression. I must have been pretty spot on because my husband had shared this Tony Evans sermon on anxiety with me over the weekend. No, I didn't take offense...

So excited to share my space today with my pal Karen, aka Ting's Mom. After I presented my question last week about how to handle my "trashy" dilemma, I remembered seeing her share something on Instagram about a few books she has recently used, to talk to her kids...
paper or plastic
Is it weird to say I’m getting really annoyed at throwing things away? Yes, I’m cleaning out too (and donating), but I’m getting annoyed that all my trash just goes into the trash can. It was probably one of the first points of contention in our home after we got...
8 yrs clear
Well today was the day. The day once a year I remember I HAD cancer. Sure, I think about it other days. Little things remind me. Someone else gets diagnosed. I have a low day. I see my scar. There are moments. But it is guaranteed an early Friday in...
