I will let others know as a precursor to the material in this post—It is heavy, and could be triggering. The quote above is one I chose today, a quote on any other day would not strike me. I chose it from a bowl in front of me to take one—at a woman’s funeral service … Continue reading “Truth never damages a cause that is just”-Mahatma Gandhi
When I think about this or that occurrence in my life, I have not ever equated such with a brave choice or necessarily the right decision. Seeing other people around me being brave made me want to be as courageous. As days pass, I find myself going through the motions, taking the next step. I … Continue reading Braver than you know
Lately I have had trouble staying asleep. I am still getting somewhere between 5-7 hours of sleep. Not enough. My body and mind are very powerful when lack of sleep sets in. I take my sleeping med and get into bed around 9/30pm. Like clockwork I am awake by 2am, naturally. I am working so … Continue reading The power inside
I had an amazing day taking care of my needs on Saturday. It was much needed and happy that hubby took the kids to a birthday party. Started off the day early with a trip to Starbucks with the girls. We came home and I waved goodbye to the home and off to commence Sarah’s … Continue reading Sarah’s Self care Saturday
Someone wise once told me, “ I have never heard of a Queen that has been walked over.” It took a few seconds for this statement to sink in. My immediate reflection would be at the time, well, that is certainly not me. My negative self talk and self-perception have always been powerful and strong … Continue reading You are a Queen
This week has been incredibly difficult. I am working more diligently on meditation and grounding techniques to get through the day. Working harder to apply various techniques from trauma-focused therapy and strategies gained over the years. First I am getting better on identifying the thought, catching it and releasing said thought before it ruminates. I … Continue reading Grounded
Yesterday we celebrated Easter Vigil at St. Catherine of Sienna Church. Jason and I have been attending RCIA since Fall 2022. Today was an incredibly extraordinary day not just because of Jason’s Confirmation and my re-entrance into the church after many years. In the Catholic faith this Mass is sacred and recognizes and reaffirms our … Continue reading Easter Vigil and Jason’s Confirmation
Often times when I reflect on myself, it is struggle to identify the cause of continuous negative sense of self worth. With any analysis, the first instinct or reaction is to naturally say what or how did this happen? What changed, what caused this event or series of chain reactions? Our investigatory nature feeds on … Continue reading Sarbear check-in
Hyper vigilant and ever cautious. I notice my thoughts moving faster, my sleep slightly disrupted. I catch myself. I hope against hope. This is a fleeting disturbance in my mood. I am not cycling, yet. But identify that I need an adjustment, and to be aware of the slight symptoms. I have a busy week … Continue reading Fleeting disturbances
Lately I have felt increasingly helpless. As much as I try. As hard as I may want things to be different. I cannot change others. Deep down I know this. I can only make an impact to some degree. Especially when it comes to choices others in my life may chose. I can only help … Continue reading Silence
We had an awesome volunteer meeting for GAL last Thursday. Staff, Attorneys, the entire team of CAMS (Child Advocate Managers, that’s my job—a glorified social worker) and all of the volunteers we work with on our cases were in attendance. We met at the local pizza joint, the Mellow Mushroom. There were 30+ people there. … Continue reading Volunteer Meet N Greet- Guardian Ad Litem
We had another jam packed weekend. Beach on Saturday with friends, Lax coaching and Ella’s playing Goalkeeper, church, chores, gym twice this weekend, laundry, mommy’s office re-org, cooking, more laundry. Back to the grind tomorrow after so much family fun. Sometimes having so much going on makes the weekend seem so short. I had some … Continue reading Beach, Lax, Friends and not enough Sunscreen
I do love a good concert. I was asked by a girlfriend to go to SeaWorld in Orlando to see Hanson. The first thought that popped into my head was an instant throwback. The one hit, “Mm-Bop” came flooding back and memories of the late 90s. I thought instantly of high school and mainstream boy … Continue reading Hot mom date and a 90s flashback
Lately I have been hitting the gym regularly around 4-5 days a week, at least 30-45 minutes of lifting and 3 times a week incline walk and short sprints on the treadmill. I have not lost as much weight as I’d like to, but I am making progress. My clothes are starting to fit better, … Continue reading SGs progress update 3.12.23
Lately I have tried to check in mentally and emotionally with myself. I feel pretty good, level moods mostly, good sleep routine, overall health improving steadily. I have been working out 4-5 times a week, which is exhausting my body, and my mind sometimes overstimulated with work, family and outside obligations. What I am lacking…is … Continue reading How you doin?
