It Might Not Mean Much to You...

I've written many times before about the importance of music in managing my mental health.  Music itself,  as well as song lyrics, have served as the soundtrack of my life for as long as I can remember.  I've used music to help me to celebrate, I listen to it when I need to find serenity, and it has provided me inspiration when I needed to pick myself up off the floor.  There are specific songs and artists that keep me emotionally connected to past experiences, and to important people in my life.  Sometimes a song just gets to me, and I listen to it, analyze it, process it, and mold it in my mind, until it becomes part of that life's soundtrack.  You get to a point in life where you start to consider what your life has meant:  what purpose has my life served?  Has my life been meaningful?  What impact have I had?..

She is also not reading as much as she used to. Reading was always one of Mum's hobbies, but now she is struggling to remember what she h...

Does a Momma's Heart Ever Heal?

  This is for all the mommas.  I feel like the universe has been sending me messages lately.  I didn't really notice at first, but after reading through a certain social media thread, it hit me. If you are a mom, and you feel like your anxiety is through the roof, you are nowhere near alone.   It started with this: This definitely hit a nerve, because this has been me most of my life, but especially since becoming a mom. It is, in fact, why I spent two years in therapy trying to "de-program" myself.   Then, I noticed the commonality as I read down the thread and realized that it was all the moms saying, " THIS IS ME!! "   Next, there was a conversation that I had with the mom of one of my students.  I happen to be talking to this young lady about her worries, and helping her with coping skills.  In discussing our personal experiences, this momma told me, "I was never an anxious person, until I had my daughter. " Another social ...
