I used to consider myself an artist. Back in the late 90’s I was still living at home after college in New Orleans and I started a commercial art program at Florida Metropolitan University. I ended up moving to California after several months and my life took a different trajectory. Isn’t that always the way?! But […]
Building Strong Relationships
As kids we forge strong bonds. We have the time to stay connected with our buddies during school, play dates, and weekend activities. There wasn’t really any stress. Back in the day we stayed connected via phone calls till the wee hours, notes passed in class, sharing snacks at the lunch table, after school sports and school dances. […]
Self Love is More Than Acceptance
After yesterday’s affirmation about love and support being all around me, I was thinking about self love and what a good affirmation on that topic might be. Love of self seemed to be the natural next on my list. Today, let’s forget about the crowds around me and just focus on me, right at the center of […]
We are Not Alone: Moms Mental Health Support {Printable}
If there’s one thing I’ve learned during the past 10 years through infertility, pregnancy and motherhood … all tied up in a bow with mental illness … it’s that none of us are truly alone.

Affirmation: My Mind is Clear, Strong and Focused
When I first started this 30 Days of Positive Affirmations, I began to write a list of the many things I dream of achieving. I shared it with John and he began to help me think of more ideas to add to the list. It’s tough coming up with that many, and I’m blessed with a very supportive […]
Can Old Habits Die Easy?
Living in the pit of depression, old familiar habits die hard. It is so difficult to break free of unwanted behaviors when your whole being–mind, body and even soul–screams that these things are the right things to do. But depression is a lying liar that lies. It tells me for example that I should withdraw […]

Conquering Depression: 30 Days of Positive Affirmations
I’ve been going through a difficult time the past few months. It’s quite like living in a haze where true joy escapes me. It’s not related to something outside of myself. My life, my work and my home certainly aren’t terrible. There’s a lot of love to go around actually. If I looked from the outside, I wouldn’t see a reason. […]
I am Beyond Tired: Help for Insomnia
Disclosure: I participated in an Influencer Activation on behalf of Influence Central for the National Sleep Foundation. I received a promotional item to thank me for my participation. I haven’t been getting enough sleep, and that is so so bad. I know it’s not funny (although that photo is,) but some days I’m pulling my hair out […]

The past two weeks the kids and I have been on a last minute trip to visit my parents in Florida. It’s been such an unexpected experience because while there a dear friend passed away way too young at 41. It was such a shock and it’s been a big wake up call for me and a […]
