Who’s looking forward to being back home for Thanksgiving?😅

It’s just as fun during the day as it is after the sun sets🤩😱

The constant through all this has always been my desire to honor my son while being a role model for all my kids. Was the last 12 years pretty? Hell no. I was rough rock rolling down a tall mountain, and finally landing with my edges softened (and a morbid sense of humor that I would change for the world😆)
12 years may seem like an eternity, but in grief years, it’s nothing. No matter how many years have passed since Garrett’s death, it feels like it happened yesterday. But I’m here to tell everyone that I was the last person to believe that time would heal. Alas, it does. 🫶

The Bywater has the most colorful little cottages. Even the house that’s in need of repair is so charming and rustic. “Good bones”🥰

I think I’ve done more in the past month or so than I’ve done all year. I made a conscious effort to change my life in order to regulate my nervous system and I feel like a new person, ready to take on the world 🌎

But the weird thing is this…do we even WANT joy or does the grief keep us connected?🤔

I’d have never believed you if you’d have told me my youngest child would graduate from college and a few days later I’d resign from a job I’d outgrown, and step into a place that immediately respected my vision and role.😳
I’ve worked very hard over the last several months….every weeknight and every weekend…to perfect my craft, knowing that one day it would pay off. To all who feel “stuck”, keep learning, keep practicing. Be confident in your talents and don’t let anyone undermine your skill set. Use your current situation as motivation. Learn from it, grow from it. You’ve got this!

Things could be worse. I could spend my entire vacay thinking my dog is missing me. 🐾🐾 thanks @canineconnectionnola 🙏🏼
Happy Mother’s Day to all the dog moms and human moms, too 🥰⚜️

I can still remember it like it just happened. I felt everything I was doing and I remember what I was thinking. I had so many pills in my mouth that to stop them from falling out I was literally cramming them down my throat. I was on a mission and completing it was my only thought.
I have a question for all those people who chastise those who attempt to take their own lives. Do you honestly think we’d purposely leave those we love and are responsible for?
Do you realize how hard it is to take actions necessary to end one’s life? Think about it. They are in so much pain they aren’t thinking straight. They only want the pain to end.
So please think twice before you judge. I hope you’re never so desperate as to follow in my footsteps.

In my goth era 💀
But seriously. Do you ever leave your body while having a meltdown and look down on yourself and laugh and notice how dramatic you’re being? Humans are weird. Life is weird.
