Telling my story of how I survived a widow maker heart attack, my changed life and how I am mentally coping with all of the changes I have had to make in order to live without fear of dying.

Capturing life's smaller moments sometimes acts as its own reminder to put down the phone. Making a small change can really help you hone in on the depth of being mindful. Keep going. You can do it! I believe that making small changes to your daily routine can help in so many ways.

Puddle of Mudd and some weird life. Keeping all my little weirdos in my heart and casting out good wishes to anyone who is going through the motions of life.

My life of an abusive relationship, pain suffering and more. I want to try and relate to others if I can.

I’m gonna be writing about my daily life as a 23 year old mom of 3, one who is level 3 autistic and nonverbal. Also talking about my mental health and how it affects my daily life.

This is likely because of the stark differences between a modern day influencer and a physician. Most doctors today would be all too happy to refute any coordinated dance routine performed in front of a ring lamp that told you you were autistic. Yet, it would appear that the combination of the broad reach of influencers and the huge number of individuals who spend more time staring at their phone screens than watching where they’re going is winning in a battle of popularity. This all leads to the question, “if my doctor says I don’t need that medication, how do I get my hands on it anyway”?

When you say the word "Research", you tend to think nerdy men in lab coats with beakers... however, I did plenty of research and hypothetical research into adolescents during my graduate studies. One part of my dissertation included a proposal to help a specific area of psychology and childhood development. Continue Reading...

Yesterday was Sunday, and I was at a craft market — I’m a vendor, and I sell at this market every week. Honestly, this time of year, I don’t make money at it. In fact, I often don’t make enough to cover the table, but it’s usually pretty close. There were pamphlets for Al-Anon on the table when I arrived. Now, I don’t have a problem with 12-step programs, but they have the same success rates as quitting cold turkey does, and I think this is important to know.

February 24th, 5:30 pm on a crowded subway filled with others who don't see my struggle, dreams, contributions, and full humanity yet! Submitting a typed letter for Lisa Yedonorowicz, a Ukrainian-American painter who is based in Minneapolis and has started to document activist profiles across the states ever since the rise of the ICE raids in her current hometown. This letter coincides with a painting she took of me over Zoom a few weeks ago, with the prompts "How are you affected by unrest?" "Are there causes & orgs you are passionate about?" How I felt: I wrote this elaborate note as if it's my last will and testament to hope for a better tomorrow, redeeming myself from the hell I am living in, and yearning to be seen and loved unconditionally. Apparently, this letter, along with the painting, will be published in a book, and featured in an exhibition in a art museum in Iowa. TBD

A Bad Moment I was lying on a thin mattress on the floor. The cupboards crawled with the glistening black shells of thousands of cockroaches. Had I turned on the light they would have scurried away, but there was no electricity in the apartment. I could see my breath, the place had electric heat. I was two blocks from the bridge. A few years earlier a friend of mine had jumped from that bridge, ending his life. I was considering doing the same thing. The only thing that saved me was knowing that my son would have to deal with that for the rest of his life.

When I got ADHD meds I lost the things that made me able to cope even with ADHD, now I am getting them back — they will help you as well This is another old piece - I haven't done as well as I thought I was going to when I wrote it In the Beginning Getting diagnosed with ADHD was a big deal, but it still took me a little bit to get meds. When I did it changed everything. I have never been good at getting back to work after being interrupted. Once I had my meds it was effortless. I could get into a fight with my girlfriend and drop back into coding without having resolved the fight. Previous me was so far from capable of that that it never even occurred to me it was possible for a human to do.

On the first of February, I started a daily photography challenge, if I can figure it out, I'll attach them.

At 17, I left home believing I was ready for anything. I wasn’t ready for isolation, rumors, or how quickly things could fall apart. This is the story of how I survived a season I never expected.

Hello, I'm excited to announce my second publication, which is a bit different from what you usually receive from me. The magazine-like publication is filled with wellness and health content, stories from the past and present, and inspiring events from near and far, touching the heart and literally spanning places around our map. All are presented in a nostalgic, fantasy-like style, echoing my desire to live in a quieter, more nostalgic universe.

This content is to provide encouragement to any person, whether you are female, male, or LGBTQIA+. Always show up and show out for what you know is right. No matter how you classify yourself, be a dream chaser!

They say some individuals are once-in-a-lifetime people who leave such a strong impression that it still lingers after they're gone. Today, I share a tale of one of these individuals—a woman who left behind a legacy unmatched by hard work, love, and sacrifice, and by wise words, wisecracks, and quips. This woman had it all and in spades. Simply put, you couldn't tell her nothin'.
