Facing Uncertainty in the New Year

3….2….1….HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!! There’s something about the new year that feels optimistic. Anything is possible. Everything is reset. It’s a fresh start. There’s also something incredibly stressful about it. You may be face-to-face with deadlines that you still aren’t ready to think about. Bills increase. Insurance rolls over. Life continues to move forward at a speed that feels unsustainable. That’s where I’m finding myself in 2022. My husband Joey has had a chronic illness for… … Continue reading

And maybe this year, there’s a knot in your stomach in the place where that “holly jolly” feeling usually resides. My now typical dread of the holiday season started early this year. After not getting to see my family… … Continue reading

First, let me say that there is nothing wrong with having one of these in your home. I’m so thankful for people in the world who are eternal optimists and are such natural encouragers that even their wall art… … Continue reading

4 Creative Ways to Find Community

We all know that sitcoms and romcoms have lied to us. Kissing in the rain is not romantic. Picnics are the worst. And you should know a guy for more than a week before falling head over heels in love. But the biggest lie, in my opinion? That it’s easy to form adult friendships. The main character is always surrounded by a group of people who have known her for her entire life. They hang… … Continue reading
