Wellness Wednesday – Rebuilding My Story (Part 1)
I’ve known the time was coming for awhile, the time to transition from a stay at home parent to the next phase of my life. My children are teenagers now, and the youngest two are fine to leave at home … Continue reading
Wellness Wednesday – Hiding in Plain Sight
When I was a sophomore, a misunderstood incident* caused my parents to send me to a therapist for a short while. I barely remember those sessions, but one thing stands out. My counselor asked me what I enjoyed, what I … Continue reading
