Welcoming 2022 with hope and determination
For the first time in a long while, I didn’t feel like I was just surviving the year in 2021, which can seem contrary to the current events in the world right? The circumstances have allowed me to focus and thrive in ways I’ve struggled with for so long. So I am looking for more…

2021 in a nutshell: Reaching goals then (sugar) crashing
Time flies when you’re having fun, or when you get older, or just in general really. It’s time for another year in review already and I’m incredulous, just like I am every year. So, last year I did a review of 2020 and stated I was only going to make goals for 2021 that I…

2021 – The year of building better habits
I love a good planner, last year I had The Happiness Planner’s daily planner and loved it! Being out of work this year I couldn’t justify buying that again but found a comparable one on Amazon and have everything broken down into yearly, quarterly, monthly, and weekly goals. I think maybe I like the planning…

What up, 2019?
I had 11 days off over Christmas and New Year! I usually love taking that time to reflect, plan, and look ahead at the coming year. This time I did a tiny bit of that, but mostly I slept, watched telly, played video games, cooked food, and basically did as little as possible. I obviously…

Love Matters
I am in the throes of emotional fatigue. The onslaught of horrific news, work stress, and some other triggers are just piling up and, try as I might, I can’t seem to do much but keep my head just above water from it all. Outside of the news bombarding everyone, I know that eventually things…

Since my post in April I’ve had my 6 month check up following my hysterectomy. Everything is super duper and I’m doing great post op. The oncologist on my case did mention the possibility of getting tested for Lynch Syndrome, probably due to the ineffectiveness of the hormone treatment. I have yet to make the…

Be your own hero
It’s been a tough week on the media front. Maybe it’s been a tough week for other reasons as well. Personally, this week has been a challenge in a few ways. Returning to work after a lovely holiday last week wasn’t too fun, it never is for me. I looked forward to coming home, but…

What makes you happy?
We were on holiday the week we officially found out what we already knew, that the hormones weren’t working and I wasn’t even close to being cleared for fertility treatments. I had prepared myself for that as much as I could of course, but being told it officially made it real. I’m glad we were…

Cancer has taken my fear away
At work I write a lot about the importance of protection, you never know what will happen, everyone can get cancer, etc, etc. But still you are always shocked when it happens to you, no matter how much you know it can. 2017 started off good enough, I had goals and I thought I knew…
