Hello from The Flower House

Greetings from The Flower House! It’s called The Flower House because all of the houses that this couple rents out are named after flowers. Of course, the actual name of this house is a particul...


What patterns do I notice in relationships where I over-give or reject support? I don’t think I do either of these anymore. I do know that when I have over-given in past relationships, I was co...


Have I ever been punished or shamed for asking for help or expressing vulnerability? I think I have punished and shamed myself for feeling weak and expressing vulnerability. I have been someone...


Who in my life, past or present, reinforced the idea that giving is better than receiving? I think early on in my life, my dad and his side of the family were amazing examples of giving over re...


It’s Tuesday evening and the debate is coming on in a little over 30 minutes, so I figured I should probably squeeze an entry in. I don’t even know if I’m going to watch the VP debate anyway...

What Am I Doing?!

I haven’t felt like there has been much going on with me, so I haven’t written. And now, it seems like EVERYTHING is going on! You know how I’ve been saying that I feel a little weird about w...

A Break-In

So last week, at the end of the week, I discovered that someone had broken into my garage. I still don’t really know everything that was taken because they were so random with what they took. It...

My Plan for Tonight

…is to finish up my 12,000 steps here on my walking pad and then be in bed by 7pm. I’m just tired today. I don’t want to watch the debate. I know who I’m voting for and my mind won’t be chang...

Bullets.

Here is the best explanation of the 75 Hard Style Challenge I’ve found out there. Today is Day 7! Going well so far, and honestly not that much different than most of my days anyway. Even th...

Thursday Blursday.

The Downstairs Nabe.

Over the last few weeks I noticed that there’s been a new gigantic monster-like truck parked in the parking lot in front of my apartment. And I noticed the guy driving it seemed a little differe...

They Hated It.

I went to see Mom and Dad on Saturday. I wanted to make sure they had not only a good, healthy meal, but that I brought them extra so that they could make leftovers a couple of times. [Athena]...

My Next Challenge

I’ve decided to try yet another challenge - you know how I love my challenges! Remember my 75 Hard Challenge and my near obsession with it? Yes, I agree that for some it could have sounded a lit...

Skipped a Day!

I figured this out - I have to write a quick entry in the mornings otherwise I can’t trust myself to get an entry in for the day. No biggie - you know I love my morning routine, but sometimes whe...


I kind of love Mondays lately. I have this Monday routine that I enjoy so much. It involves a new workout that I’m excited about. It’s the right kind of hard that gives me the feeling that my b...

Sunday Blues

Not really. I don’t really have the blues, but I was just thinking about something. Yesterday I went to my volunteer event that turned out to be a whole lot of nothing, even though my heart was...

Saturday Volunteer Day

Good morning! Got dog to daycare and coffee made and workout done. Today I’m heading back to the super cool botanical gardens to do my volunteer event for the month. I would have done more volu...

Friday eh.

It’s Friday afternoon already! Yesterday I worked remotely downtown because I wanted to go to L. Crush’s place for craft night and downtown was on the way there. I sort of half-assed my work in...

Building Community, But...

So, last evening’s walk was so much fun! I think I may have found a group that I really love. It’s a “sober girls club” and I love the leader of this group. The walking part is just a small part ...

The Talk

…turned out to be not much of anything at all. I wasn’t sure where Kitty Cat (CEO) wanted to go with this conversation, so I let her take the lead in most of it in case I wasn’t on the right page...

August Blue Moon

Last night I turned on the Democratic National Convention and tried to watch but something kept booming, booming, booming in my apartment. It was shaking the walls and the floor and the ceiling. ...

Vegas Recovery

I honestly thought I’d be writing at least 100 words a day during my trip to Vegas, but no. And it’s not like there really wasn’t time, I just couldn’t find it in me to write anything. Is that go...
