The infographic gave examples of what it can feel like when you’re experiencing symptoms of depression. Abbie, my loving sister, almost immediately sent me a private message, asking if I was “doing okay” or if the information I hadContinue reading “30 Amazing Things about entering your 30s!”

The Golden Standard
Dear Bentley, I’ll never forget the day you came home for the first time. You were in a kennel; Bogan warily circled around the boxy object in the middle of our tiny kitchen. When you were let out, Boggie and you wagged tails and each got a sniff of each other. I was in highContinue reading “The Golden Standard”
9/11
I was only 10 years old when 9/11 happened. It started just like any other day: I got up, ate breakfast, and went to my elementary school.

I’m a Pear Shape Now, But a Happy Pear
I’ve always been a skinny girl. I say girl because lately as a woman, I’ve started gaining weight. One of my medications, which does cause weight gain, has done just that: caused me to put on some pounds. When I say some, I mean a steady rapid increase of 50 pounds.

19 Things from 2019
Hello, dear reader! As I approach the New Year here in America, I want to look back on all the fun and fantastic things I did this year. As always, this year went by pretty fast.
