The Emotion Monster

In real time, it’s Halloween weekend. So everywhere I go, I’m seeing ghosts and skeletons and all kinds of monsters. But today we’re talking about a monster that shows its face year round. I’m calling him the Emotion Monster. You know, the one that looms over your shoulder on those rough days. Or the one … Continue reading The Emotion Monster

Breaking news 💥 I ate a chocolate cupcake a few days ago and it didn’t kill me!!!!!! (gf and df of course) POV: you see me sitting at a restaurant. I look just like anyone else. Until I pull out a massive pill case filled to the brim and you’re like 👀 Hopping on to remind my chronically ill friends that you can be doing everything right to manage your illness and you’ll still have days where your symptoms flare and your body struggles. It is not your fault. You are doing your best. Release control. Release expectations. Rest. Take care of yourself. Hug your pet (or whatever’s closest to you). Maybe just hug yourself. Do whatever you gotta do to get yourself through. Took a moment to jot down the lessons learned from 2021. In short, this year was challenging but pivotal in my quest to find answers and move towards healing. And having an outlet to share my thoughts, experiences and struggles has made it that much easier. So thanks for being here friends, have a Happy New Year 🎊 💛 A few weeks ago, I received an official diagnosis to the chronic illness I’ve been experiencing for the last 3 years. I always pictured the moment to be relieving, exciting and celebratory. Instead, I found myself feeling numb, unsure how to feel. Chronic illness is scary, overwhelming and debilitating. And as wonderful as it is to put a name to it and begin treatment, it’s still just as scary. There’s still many unknowns, struggles and fears. But now, mixed in with all these things, there’s hope, healing and gratitude. I noticed recently I hadn’t been journaling as often as I used to. Over the years journaling has become a crucial part of my self care practice as it’s the best way to get my heart and my head on the same page. So I’ve decided to slowly get back into it using these quick, easy daily prompts. A little check in for the mind, body and soul can go a long way. Happy Halloween!! 👻 🎃 Talking about the stuff that’s ~really~ scary today - Emotions. Vulnerability. Uncertainty. And why it’s all too easy to run away from them. If you wanna feel really spooky today, check out the link in my bio. 💀 Thanks, September 🤍 Hanging onto these quiet, peaceful moments like the bee hanging on to the flower in that last pic 🐝
