Welcome to the blog!
Everything you’re about to read is based on my own experience. It may be a personal take on something, a way to cope, or a helpful anecdote. Read on and let me know if there’s anything you’d like me to write about.

Saying goodbye
No one likes saying goodbye. As Rory says in Gilmore Girls, “There’s nothing good about a goodbye. It’s a poorly named ritual.” Unless the thing you’re saying farewell to is more of a good riddance, chances are the goodbye is to something or someone you love and if it’s the final goodbye, I don’t think there’s anything worse.
An 11 year journey to confidence
Recently I was interviewed by a friend who’s starting a new podcast. The conversation was flowing really well and she was asking some insightful questions. Then she said something that really struck me…
Love what you love
“We all change, when you think about it, we're all different people; all through our lives, and that's okay, that's good, you've gotta keep moving, so long as you remember all the people that you used to be. I will not forget one line of this, not one day, I swear. I will always remember when The Doctor was me.”
Birthday History 101
It’s that time of year again. The time when I look back on all the May 20ths that have come and gone, the ones that left me in tears, the ones that left me asking, “why?” Yup… it’s birthday time again. Last year I mentioned, very briefly, my history of bad birthdays but I didn’t go into specifics. This was pre-book so I think I was still keeping myself fairly guarded. However, the time for that is gone and it’s time to dive into this history. It’s a bit of a rollercoaster, though. Are you ready?
Confidence and setbacks
I woke up this morning feeling a terrible lack of confidence in just about everything. Magnus is still sick (back to the vet today) so I’m feeling like a subpar cat mom. I’ve been struggling with book sales for 2 straight months now which will be a blow to anyone’s confidence. I think there’s a part of me that fears I’ll always just be substandard at everything. There are those that excel at things and really hone in on that one thing they’re really good at, and I’ve never been able to find that “thing.”
A history of pets
My kitten, Magnus, has been sick on and off for about a month now and it’s been bringing up a lot of feelings for me that I didn’t realize I had never dealt with. My cats are my everything and sometimes I feel as though people who don’t have any pets don’t understand the bond between a human and their pet. I even remember a guy I went to high school with posting something a while back along the lines of “hating” when people refer to their pets as “children” because it’s “not the same thing.” No, I did not give birth to my cats but I care for them, feed them, even bathe them when needed. They comfort me when I’m sick or sad and I will be there to take care of them until their last breath.
