My purple-friendsgiving-teaparty invitation to YOU
Tomorrow will be the second anniversary of my blog – yep, I will be 2 YEARS OLD! Now, I know that is NOT very old in the blogging universe, but to me it seems like an unimaginable achievement – truly, I can barely believe I had the urge to set…

The year 2025 in review
>>Ta-toot-ta-tooooom<< (that’s me blowing my own trumpet!) Today is another one of my monthly blogging anniversaries. From a very early stage, I promised myself that I wouldn’t wait for BIG milestones, instead, I would celebrate the little inch-stones that occurred along the way. Today I am 23-MONTHS old – early…

“Good doggy”
Ok, so today’s post is a bit odd… but stick with me! I was watching a documentary about the neuroscience of dogs (as you do) and there were so many things that felt relevant to my healing journey… again… stick with me. As the mother of two fur-babies, there were…

Here’s what I don’t know
A big fear I had when I first started this blog was: “I don’t have the expertise to help others when I’m still learning how to help myself!” And that’s as true today as it was over a year ago when I first started tip-tapping away at my keyboard. But…
