I am not the most religious person, although spiritual, not-so practicing Catholic but aspiring to be better—I have certainly seen and done too many things that I would like to forget. Even so, Thanksgiving has came and went. I spent the day cooking, reveling in the family time and eating my weight in potatoes, turkey, … Continue reading Day of Gratitude and Blessings
I felt the need to share the pre-Christmas Joy around the house that Jason so lovingly put it, “It looks like Christmas threw up in our Living Room.” Every excuse that comes about to decorate for a season I seemingly emphasize the urgency to do so more and more impulsively, like a SG Hurricane of … Continue reading Winter is Coming, I’m Ready!
2021, a year of reflection. Change. Acceptance. Perseverance. Dissent. Protestation. For years I have been my own advocate. For years I struggled. My own positive values have been shook. I find myself looking around and grasping for air. Fifteen-Twenty years ago I was in denial that anything in my life was abnormal. I held onto … Continue reading “The Lady doth Protest Too Much”
A time to cast away stones and gather stones together. A time to hate, a time for peace. I think about this song and draw parallels to my favorite book, A Tale of Two Cities. The dichotomy of the times. After I am reminded of how long ago I re-read Charles Dickens’ classic I am … Continue reading Turn..Turn..Turn
Well, I am making strides to do so. Some friends and family know that I was struggling with my mental health recently Aug-Sept. I have felt more balanced and generally more focused lately than before. With some perspective I know that I was hypomanic moving into full blown mania during those weeks, accompanied with high … Continue reading SG gets her groove back
Today was a difficult day that ended with cuddles, Harry Potter Movie Marathon, and some much needed one on one time with my eldest, Ella. In the later evening, we had great conversation, and I refocused my negative energies into a more hopeful tomorrow. My beautiful Ella, ready for mass Lots of running around, errands, … Continue reading My world
This week has been challenging. I really wanted a vacation from my “vacation” to Maryland last weekend. No rest for the weary. Ella’s Football Season came to a close this past Saturday, luckily Hazel’s Cheer schedule is ramping up to 4-5 practices weekly in preparation for two upcoming cheer competitions. So this week, Ella turned … Continue reading Work, school and play for the Grants
Always enjoy my jam packed weekend trips to visit family back home in Maryland. In fact, I probably couldn’t have fit any other plans into the weekend if I tried. Maryland will always be our home, regardless of where we end up. Initially, I had planned to visit MD this particular weekend to be part … Continue reading MD Visit Highlights, and a close call at BWI
NAMI Jacksonville held its inaugural in-person walk on this past Saturday, October 9th, 2021. As Programs and Volunteer Coordinator for NAMI Jax I mostly assisted with set up and volunteer assignments. The event was an amazing success. We raised around 75,000 dollars in donations for the walk itself, 190 walkers, and everything went rather seamlessly. … Continue reading NAMIWalks Jax 10/9/21
Visiting home for a general quick visit to Maryland. Today the whole Ashworth Clan traveled to Milleville, DE (near Bethany Beach) to celebrate the life of a very special woman, Dianne Ashworth. Aunt Dee was a huge role model and special Auntie to me growing up. She was a librarian, loved to shop, and loved … Continue reading Aunt Dees Celebration of Life
It seems as I revisit The Seascape Chronicles, that time rewound, sped up and then came to a screeching halt. For anyone still around, HI. I am still here. Many life events has happened intermittently, including 10 years…how?? of ups, downs, trials and tribulations. I have two wonderful school age children now, Ella…who was briefly … Continue reading Back to the Future, Seascape back in action!!
General update for the readers. Today was an interesting day in the Grant household. Actually about as interesting as most days. For all the mothers out there, I am sure you understand. Ella is growing and is very strong! I have had a difficult time adjusting to the wonders of motherhood, and I am getting … Continue reading Mission Ella Possible.

The past year has been very exciting, since moving from the Northeast last spring. Just a quick general update, and will try … Continue reading Progress.
Loyal readers might have noticed that I have not posted lately. A lovely friend recently asked me reminded me to post. Its really gotten that bad again? I must confess that for the first time in many many weeks I woke up early. Usually since my job requires a different schedule I am up by … Continue reading Motivation Proclamation.
I think I am ripping this off some country song, but I don't really care. I am extremely happy today, Jason came home yesterday after being away for work for a while. It is strange getting use to this I guess him being away, and going here and there all over the place no matter … Continue reading Home is Where is Heart is.
