I'm making an attempt to see situations that challenge me mentally and emotionally as opportunities. Opportunities to better understand myself, my illness, where I'm at with my illness, opportunities to help loved ones understand those things better, opportunities to see if I'm ready to test my limits or if I should respect them right now.

His Power, My Weakness
That's what this week has been all about. I knew something was off when I came out of therapy on Monday night feeling dejected. It was a very good session, with lots of me getting to share victories and growth and a lot of positivity- there's no reason I should have felt down. Tuesday I [...]
Creative Hunger
I haven't written much this week, and I've missed it. It's been a hard week emotionally and mentally, but even in that I'm seeing God work. That's another post though. I have been too exhausted to put words together, but oh how they have been bursting to come out!Jen Hatmaker did a Facebook Live stream [...]
Fitness Post: I knew this was coming.
Today I finished the Bangin Bikini Body program in the Jillian Michaels app-and I'm super proud of that! I'm also halfway through the Beautiful Arms and Back and Sexy Abs programs. I'm super proud of finishing this program, because it's proof of my commitment to self care and doing what I have to, even if [...]
Small Changes, Big Improvement
Just because the growth isn't in public places and visible to everyone doesn't mean it's not happening, that it's not good or significant. -EI feel like so much is changing in me for the better. I also feel ashamed (there it is again!) that from the outside, unless you're in the extreme inner circle, you [...]

That has been magnified during this season of struggling more intensely with my mental health. Sometimes I have to [...]
Quick fitness update 7/29/17
I haven't written much about exercise lately, and I know y'all are missing the play by play. (Sarcasm) seriously, though, a lot has been happening in this area. No, we have not achieved #ropesngunsnabs, yet-but many changes, nonetheless. I'm getting my mojo back! No, not in that way-well, yes in that way, but that's not [...]
Craving Community
I was gonna write this later, because I'm really trying to stay off my phone till after I've worked out, but, just as I was about to work out, the Boy woke up, so nursing and blogging it is. I crave community, and particularly a best friend who loves Jesus. I had one in my early [...]
