It’s been about a month since I posted a Mental Health Monday blog. My mental health took a couple of hits recently that took away my spark to write. I didn’t want to create any reactive material that lacked substance and wreaked anger. I didn’t want to turn my physical tears into written sadness. I’mContinue reading “To Clean or Not to Clean”

The Adventure Awaits Book Club read Loki: A Bad God’s Guide to Being Good by Louie Stowell during July of 2022. The book club read Bear Necessity by James Gould-Bourn during August of 2022. We weren’t able to meet over zoom in July so joined the book discussions and met in August. One of theContinue reading “AABC – July and August 2022”
Peer Pressure
It’s my 20th blog post and what better way to celebrate than writing about peer pressure for Mental Health Monday! Peer pressure is being influenced by one’s peer group. Peer pressure is addressed most as a teenager and comes up in shows geared towards teens, addressed by parents and teachers, and is gone by theContinue reading “Peer Pressure”
Sibling Relationships Are Weird
This Mental Health Monday I plan to dive into my family tree a bit. I’ve posted a few blogs about friendships and have shared bits and pieces of my life in other ones. I typically write when I feel inspired and this is where my brain is currently landing, topic wise. All of this blogContinue reading “Sibling Relationships Are Weird”
Work Friends
“Yo, why do you have me legit processing you quitting, in therapy?” I’ll get back to that quote in a bit. Before I began my current job, I hadn’t held a position for more than two years. Prior to my current one, I worked at/for Amazon, my college’s cafeteria (making the best sandwiches ever), Target,Continue reading “Work Friends”
Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving
July is my birth month. Yes, I am one of those people who turn their one day of birth into the longest celebration possible. The reality is, it mostly results in a few free meals from random restaurants with birthday rewards, some sort of gathering on my actual birthday, and me saying “it’s my birthContinue reading “Thirty, Flirty, and Thriving”
Contentment
When I woke up on July 17, 2022, I didn’t expect the day I experienced. I planned to post a Mental Health Monday blog about turning 30. I decided to postpone that and the one you are reading was written a couple hours before July 18, 2022, a few hours before I plan to postContinue reading “Contentment”
10 Songs for Mental Health Support
We’re only a few posts in, but I felt like doing something a little different for Mental Health Monday! I’ve accumulated a list of songs over the years that make me feel some type of way. They mostly have an encouraging message or have relatable lyrics. Most of the songs are ones I heard onContinue reading “10 Songs for Mental Health Support”
Who Has the Answers?
“If a person comes into your classroom, turn your body so your side is facing the front of their body. This way, if they shoot you, they are less likely to hit any vital organs.” “Get into a corner of the room not visible by the window in the door. Someone will check the doorContinue reading “Who Has the Answers?”
Lupus Awareness Month x3
Happy Wednesday x3 This is post three focusing on Lupus during Lupus Awareness Month! Lupus did not exist in my mind until meeting Samantha in 2013. Selena Gomez brought a bit more awareness to the world when she shared her diagnosis. (Selena, wanna play Samantha in a movie based on my book GTS one day?)Continue reading “Lupus Awareness Month x3”
