Smiling Sympathy
Grief is a part of life. We never fully heal from it, we just learn to live alongside it, in harmony. We must respect it’s power to induce tears. My recommendation – smile and hug the grieving! But resist the sweet, sympathetic tones please. There’s dopamine in it for you.

Rainbow Bridges and Other Goodbyes
Love leads and when lives end, grief rushes in and tries to take its place. I’m on a journey to keep the love alive, move forward WITH the grief. It will come along too. I will learn to cohabitate with it.

At best, it is treating symptoms. Symptoms that are likely showing up from an overlooked root cause. In some cases, treatment…

A racially divisive event in the summer of 2020 immortalized three words . . . I can’t breathe. Those three words probably broke an already aching city. They put deep wounds in the hearts of others. The same three words became a symbol for fear, despair and everything wrong with humanity. For entirely different reasons,…

MTHFR – It’s not what you think
In the summer of 2017 I was sitting around a campfire with all the best girlfriends a girl could ask for. We started sharing some huge dreams. You know, those ones that you have passion for and are getting educated in, but don’t feel you can quit your day job to do! Mine was simple,…

The Devil Don’t Fight Fair
Yesterday, I posted just a meme on my facebook feed without additional words or explanation. I meant for it to be simple and stand on its own, but when someone took a little jab at not being sure what my very serious post means, I decided to add some context even though I told them…
