NEW YOU IN THE NEW YEAR
HAPPY (ALMOST) NEW YEAR Can you believe the New Year is almost here? 2018 has flown by. It’s been a year of a lot of downs for me, personally. Finally, with the year coming to a close I feel like I have my head above the water. Depression is an ugly thing, and I battled […]
HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS

SELF CARE
SELF CARE THROUGH MASSAGE I don’t do it as often as I should, but I took the time to do a little self care today. I got a massage. Over the years I’ve had five massages…today would make six. My first and my sixth were by the same massage therapist…and they were the best. THE […]
ITâS OKAY TO NOT BE OKAY

Being a Christian doesn’t shield you from pain or depression.I feel like a teakettle, but the water is boiling and no room for escape. I didn’t tell my husband […]
