I’ve been trying to find words for this feeling I’ve been having this month. (Weird for me, I know.) But I feel like I’ve finally got it right this morning. This is going to be long, but it’s good. A little bit back, I asked everyone to tell me what they had gained in 2022Continue reading “The Anti Resolution”

Becoming (Better)
PREFACE TO SAY: There’s some very real shit in her, BUT it’s all leading to a rather positive thing…so, keep reading if you will. 😉 Like most people who read my blog, I think A LOT about what people think of me and who I am. Too much. It’s a problem for all of us.Continue reading “Becoming (Better)”
A Very Jazzy Epiphany
So. Bella and I had counseling today. During said counseling, Bella and I both talked a bit about our shared issue of…honestly…pushing people away because we expect them to leave anyway. Bella does this by making sure they think she’s a bitch before they can decide she’s one on her own. I do this byContinue reading “A Very Jazzy Epiphany”
My Deathiversary
33 years ago today, I basically died. 🤷♀️ It sounds dramatic, but it’s a huge step that I can say that now. For YEARS people tried telling me I have PTSD. I would argue vociferously. “You have to have been afraid you were going to die.” It took the executive director of a missing children’sContinue reading “My Deathiversary”
The Beauty at Rock Bottom
Today’s Epiphany: Rock Bottom is actually beautiful and filled with unexpected blessings. What brought this on? Well, I’ll tell you. My heart has been in really bad shape again for a couple of weeks. This morning I had a bit of a meltdown. I admitted to one of my closest friends that I’m afraid. OfContinue reading “The Beauty at Rock Bottom”
The (Sideways) 8
Admit it. You have a favorite number. Even if you don’t realize it, you do. I don’t know why, but we all do. A favorite number and an unlucky number. My favorite number is 8. Most people will never even notice, but I tend to use 8s every chance I get. It makes me happy.Continue reading “The (Sideways) 8”
WHY I HATE JIM CARREY. AN ESSAY – BY SHERI
So. Awhile back I wrote a blog that mentioned…*cough*…quite forcibly…how much I hate Jim Carrey. To paraphrase a character I love, ““Dear Jim, I hate your stinking guts. You make me vomit. You’re scum between my toes! Love, Sheri.” Now. Those are strong words. I admit it. Which made a blog friend question…”WHAT?! NO!! YOU’REContinue reading “WHY I HATE JIM CARREY. AN ESSAY – BY SHERI”
Please Don’t Feed The Negativity Monster
Say hello to my leetle friend, The Negativity Monster Actually he’s not so little. He’s pretty big and…if you’re being honest with yourself…you’ll probably have to admit that you have the same friend. This friend…he takes all of our negative feelings and expands them. Every time we get mad…anxious…scared…sad….every time we feel anything negative andContinue reading “Please Don’t Feed The Negativity Monster”
Live Like It’s 9/12.
I can’t love this meme enough. ❤️ On 9/11 We all shared the horror of watching the towers fall. We held our breaths, collectively, as the next hours unfolded. We all cried as the names came rolling in. We all breathed sighs of relief as we found loved ones that were still safe. We allContinue reading “Live Like It’s 9/12.”
The Good
This blog brought to you by my absolute hatred of Jim Carrey. Weird, huh? There’s a point. So, I got to the gym this morning knowing that all I can really do today is walk on the treadmill. I accidentally ran 18.2 miles yesterday (#whoopsie) so anything else would have been dumb. ANYWAYS, I gotContinue reading “The Good”
