It’s been over week since my last blog post and I’d love to be able to tell you that my insurance saga is all figured out and my happy ending is wrapped up with a nice, crisp, perfectly folded bow. Unfortunately, that’s not how life works, or at least it’s not how my life works.…

I usually try to think of a cute or catchy title for each blog post. Something that gives you, the reader, a clue as to what the post below might contain. However, tonight there’s no cute or catchy title I can come up with. Tonight I find myself reeling and struggling with putting words together(…

WTAF. For those of who aren’t familiar with this acronym it stand for “What In The Actual Fuck” and it’s been coming out of my mouth with surprising speed and frequency these days. I have yet to find a better 5 words to describe what is going on in this season of life and the…

March 15th is Long Covid Awareness Day. A day designed to bring awareness to a syndrome that by medical standards is very new and unfortunately, still very much a medical mystery. So far, there are over 200 symptoms of Long Covid, which is why I always say, “If you know one person with Long Covid,…

That was the prophetic wisdom A+ therapist heaped on me in our last session. We were talking about acceptance (one of my favorite topics and a practice I am amazing at) and she said “You have to embrace the suck.” My first response, and thank God I still have somewhat of a filter and did…
