I don’t like labels. I don’t even like my name (yay for pen names!). I am me. Thats the only label that matters. But I do have facets of my life. One of which is spirituality. It actually started organically as a child, but growing up in a catholic family, it was immediately shamed out…

Its a privelage. It honestly is. For so many people being able to relax or enjoy life is dependent upon being financially secure. What I mean by that is they have enough income to cover basic needs, savings, retirement, and then enough to do activities to enjoy life. If that is you, yay! If it…

Everyone I hadn’t realized how long it had been since I had written a blog post and WOW I have a lot to catch you up on. But we will get to that in a bit, probably over a few posts. First things first, how are you? If you are in the USA, things are…

Well, if you’re asking this question already I would say you shouldn’t. But lets get into it a bit more. I recently went through an incredibly challenging decision. To leave my family completely. Cousins, Aunts, Uncles, Nieces, Nephews, everyone. Why? They support Trump. That makes them Nazis and Fascists. They would not even have a…

You know how you reach a certain level of healing and you start to realize there are just some things that you need to confirm actually exist? Like a non-toxic partner, a non-abusive parent, protein powders that don’t taste like S$!&. Well, I needed to see this: A healthy, happy, devoted father, and husband. *GASP*…

Burnout. I just thought I was failing, broken, useless. My career dreams were dashed, I was angry and disappointed, I doubted my abilities and I just didn’t have the energy anymore. I didn’t realize that I was in burnout. Mostly because I kept comparing myself to others (there are other moms out there who have…
