So, obviously…as I mentioned the other day…I’m in a PTSD spiral…and have come to realize there are still things from my past that I need to address. So…I haven’t been able to connect with my therapist lately…I sent my psychiatrist an email this morning. I told him how I really feel and I asked himContinue reading “Soooo…I Did A Thing…”

If you’ve known me for even a day, one of the first things you learned about me is probably how important I think words are. Words can build a friendship. Words can make us fall in love. Words can break our hearts. Words can build us up or tear us down. Words are healing. But,Continue reading “Words”

I’ve always been someone who thinks a little outside of the box. One of my favorite real life illustrations of this happened when I was in 11th grade and…Lord…I pissed Mrs. Tatum off. Mrs. Tatum was my AP Lit teacher. She assigned us a paper… “What Color Are You and Why?” Of course, most kidsContinue reading “I Am Hazel (Aren’t We All?)”

In the irony of ironies, when we struggle most with feeling alone…sometimes we really need to BE alone. That is the beginning of the clarity that I found today. It is also intertwined in every other bit of clarity and peace I have found. It all goes back to trauma. It all centers on theContinue reading “Finding Answers In The Quiet”

Just for me. Writing the words down so they stop swirling. I’ve finally hit rock bottom. Phone turned off. Plans canceled. Falling off the grid. Quite honestly wishing I could die but too responsible to do anything about it. Because one thing that can be said for me is I always do the right thing.Continue reading “.”

Hi, my name is Sheri. Welcome to my Twilight rants. I started a little habit about 5 years ago. When I’m feeling down, I like to binge watch the Twilight movies. Let me tell you, there is NOTHING like watching these train wrecks to make you feel better about yourself and your life choices. Now,Continue reading “This Pick Me Up Never Fails”

After many years of my father telling me that I was the more responsible of the two of us…and the numerous conversations I had with him over the years about his behavior…I’ve always known that parenting is a two way street. From the first moment I met my Bella, I knew that squirmy crying littleContinue reading “I Want To Be Like Bella When I Grow Up”

Hi, my name is Sheri and I’m a recovering co-dependent. I’d love to say I’m recovered, but it’s a daily battle. Just as the addicts in my life had their drugs/alcohol, control and “helping” was mine. I was so afraid of failing them that I couldn’t not help…always to my own detriment. But tonight…I saidContinue reading “Y’all…I Actually Said No…”

I am all heart. I always have been. It is my greatest strength…and my greatest weakness. If I give you my heart, you’ll always have a piece of it. If I ever loved you, I still do in one way or another…even if I have to do so from afar. If you ever broke myContinue reading “Finding My Heart”

Not gonna lie…that image was a labor of love…or obsession…turns out there’s not an online generator to spell words out using bacon strips. Someone should get on that. Also, I am now really hungry. But it also wound up being the perfect segue into what I wanted to write about today. You know that saying,Continue reading “Call Me Bacon”
