after having not gone for a couple of months (hey, your girl here is pretty healed!). But, life has become so much and I’ve been trying to cope on my own, but realized it would be nice to lean on professional support during this time. My husband found out he was losing his job (myContinue reading “I made an appointment with my therapist”

I haven’t posted in a minute (again)
so hey! It’s that time of year where I’m extremely busy with coaching (yeah, working 14 hour days, 5-6 days a week) so I haven’t had time for much else. I love it but lately I’ve been thinking about the future and wanting a life of balance, where I have more time for myself andContinue reading “I haven’t posted in a minute (again)”
New Job + More Therapy
Let’s start with the good: I got a new job!!!! I’ve had 3-4 high schools interested in me and this week I was a finalist at two of the high schools. One of them offered me the position and before I accepted, I asked if I could go on a tour of the building. TheyContinue reading “New Job + More Therapy”
A year ago I wanted to die. And tonight I danced.
Tonight I got up and danced. Well first I worked out and then I jammed to my music and just danced. And it felt good. A year ago I wanted to die. Literally. I remember sitting in my car, sobbing, because I didn’t want to be alive. I wanted to die. I wanted to beContinue reading “A year ago I wanted to die. And tonight I danced.”
One last fight.
I don’t want any judgement or negativity because this is my life, my dogs were killed and died in my arms, this is my fight. I filed a police report in Mokena yesterday. Yeah, I flew into Chicago for the day, drove down to Mokena, filed a police report, and flew home. It was aContinue reading “One last fight.”
I am the sun ☀️
In therapy this week, I reprocessed some of my trauma and how I was triggered into feeling paralyzing fear when my dog Rosie jumped on my lap as I drove the other day. It brought me right back to the day Mat killed Kirby, because that morning, as I drove to Mat’s house, Kirby jumpedContinue reading “I am the sun ☀️”
I’m not doing ok, but I’m fine
It’s situational. And it’s trauma, and I accept that and I’m in therapy to cope with it, so I’m ok. I accept the hurt and pain and grief (that’s the hardest one) and allow myself to feel it when the feeling comes up. And as for situational, I hate my job, I’m suffering there, andContinue reading “I’m not doing ok, but I’m fine”
I almost cried at the vet last night
I took Rosie to a new vet last night because she was due for her annual check-up. I researched a ton of vets and this one had like 1,000+ five-star reviews, so I scheduled her appointment and was fine waiting six weeks to be seen due to the wait. The vet is incredible. The clinicContinue reading “I almost cried at the vet last night”
Signs
I’ve been seeing a lot more 617, pretty much every day. I ended a phone call this morning and it lasted 6 minutes and 17 seconds. The apartment right across from mine is 1617. I’ll frequently see the clock at 6:17. So many signs. And today, I’m getting my nails done. School starts on TuesdayContinue reading “Signs”
617
617. That’s my lucky number. 6/17, my birthday. For years my lucky number has been 6 and 17. But that’s always been it, 617, my number. A few months ago, I started seeing 617 everywhere. Like, everywhere. Every day I would see the time on the clock 6:17 in the morning and the evening. I’dContinue reading “617”
