  My intake began on August 5th, 2016.  This was my second counseling experience.  First one didn’t go so well, not that he didn’t help me, but I didn’t connect. I had been struggling with anxiety since childhood, and it was only getting worse day by day, minute by minute.  My relationships failed, both significant andContinue reading “The Key to My Heart”

If you read my previous post, you already know what you are about to read. I am going into a dark place, a dark experience, rather. However, now I know there is always light at the end of the tunnel, if the tunnel is open. This experience occurred maybe 4-5 years ago. Mom with BreastContinue reading “352-You Know Where I Am Going”

I completed my preceptorship on the floor I work on today. I graduated nursing school and I became an RN after six weeks of orientation. I told myself I was moving to Phoenix after I graduated.

The last time I heard Uncle Bob’s voice was at my Brother’s graduation, which happened to be my Grandpa’s birthday.

So, since it is Florence’s birthday or close to it, I wanted to praise all first line responders, CNA’s, M.D.’s, hospital staff, and Nurses! Especially in this last year! Never forget. By the way, I just received my 15 year pin. Good grief. Feels like yesterday, I became a Saint. I wouldn’t call myself one,Continue reading “May I have a side of CNA or RN with that M.D.?”

I was driving down the road the other day and this song happened to be on. As most of you know, this song is by, Ariana Grande. Am I big fan? Meh. However, I don’t get to pick what is on the radio. However, I can choose not to listen to it. Save that lastContinue reading “Thank u, Next”

This is one of my favorite references especially when I reference relationships regarding family, friends, and significant others. I used this “saying” at my maid-of-honor speech for one of my high school friends. Do I have still have a relationship with her? No. Have I tried to fix it? Yes. A couple times actually, overContinue reading “Reason, Season, And/or a Life Time”

The average age of a human being is 80 years young. 45 is about the time frame one has or is encountering a “mid-life crisis.” Why is this saying an excuse? A crisis is defined as, “a crucial or decisive point or situation especially a difficult situation involving impending change.” Should swap out the wordContinue reading “45= Mid-LiFe CriSis?”

Here is a letter I wrote to myself on this particular date to hopefully fall asleep on this night. I couldn’t shut my brain off. Here we go: Thoughts are everywhere today. My anxiety is not controlled. Started thinking about when I started to lose interest in life. High School….maybe earlier. I get excited aboutContinue reading “Resonate or Correlate?

Hey Everyone. I was actually having writer’s block the last few days. This is what I was scared off, and knew it would happen. I perceived it, and carried it through, which in turn left me feeling hopeless and I was going to fail. However, an interaction I had with a nurse the other dayContinue reading “Actions Speak Louder than Words (Fly Under the Radar)”
