Lots of good things have been happening recently since we moved house.
I’m just over a week free from smoking tobacco, sugar, and ultra-processed foods — sweets and treats included.
It’s safe to say that comfort eating was my biggest addiction in life — eating my feelings with sugar, processed...
So ASD is an umbrella, made of puzzle pieces on rainbow colors...
The past few days have been days of inner turmoil, including a fairly intense depression spike. I felt I needed something to at least somewhat directly counter the dense darkness. I remembered early on in my meditation journey, I ran into a technique called Smile Meditation, or Inner Smile. So I...
I saw everyone at thanksgiving. My siblings. The first time since my uncles funeral in April. Which was when I lost my speech, started talking gibberish for two month and started using a walker from the brain injury. My siblings have no asked nor have the seen me sinc ethen. My husband feels...
Table, they are all laid out. Ligjts off flashes like a book memories going by clicking. Why DIDNT HE JUST END ME? Get rid of me. Devour me. A gently bite. A piece of my neck. Enough to draw blood. Sucking, drinking. He enjoys every second. What even are you? Am I just your play thing? Your...

In this. I have found that being profoundly uncomfortable and...
As I lie awake unable to sleep. Pain dripping over the right side of my body. I say dripping because it feels like my body has been drenched in a vat of corroded battery acid. You know that burning feeling your skin gets when you touch it? The pain that goes to your bone if you hang onto it...
🌈 What Neurodiversity Means to Me
Neurodiversity isn’t just a concept I believe in—it’s the lens through which I now see the world. It’s the rhythm of my son’s footsteps as he paces to self-soothe. It’s the way he lines up his toys with precision, creating order in a world that often feels...
Lay awake. Head pounding from the pressurr.in my brain. Unable to sleep. A tilt of my head and the pressure send a violent pain through my head and a black cloud into my eyes. What to watch? For some reason I find comfort in watching shows on serial killers. Maybe atleast I escaped my predator...

Our leaders on both sides of the aisle are holding the poorest of the poor hostage in order to get what they want.
Bristlebrush in bloom at the entrance to my subdivision, 28 October.
I am super worried about everyone who might not be able to buy food next month. It's not just SNAP. It's TANF too. They're even cutting off WIC benefits to pregnant women and little babies.
It's our leaders on both sides of the aisle doing this. They don't care about us. None of them. Or they would be rallying in the streets and frantically coming to an agreement in order to save families about to starve.
