The above number doesn’t have quite the same ring to it as “525,600 minutes”, but it does fit pretty well the RENT tune if you sing it.. I should know as I tried, several times. Today marks 2 years or 1,051,200 minutes since a bright pink line popped up on an at home Covid test…

Both Post Covid Syndrome and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome are relapsing and remitting disorders meaning the symptoms can come and go. There are days, weeks, etc where my symptoms are running the show and then days, weeks, etc where it feels like I actually have some control over my body. This is by far the hardest…

Last week was a WEEK! One of those week’s where the days feel never ending and you swear time is just standing still. It was one of those weeks thanks to my broke down brain. I think what we tell ourselves about ourselves is important, but the phrase “broke down brain” both adequately describes how…

I returned from my 3 day retreat and I am happy to report my first date with myself went quite well. There were no awkward silences, no “emergency” texts from friends were sent in an effort to end the date early, and I discovered I genuinely like myself. Thank God it went well. I’m pretty…

A simple, 4 word question I get asked all the time and I wish the answer to this question was as simple. I often don’t know what to say to this question, but I often respond with, “It’s a day by day journey” or “Some things are better, some are worse, some are the same.”…
