The Quick Fix
I don’t know where to even start with this. I have been in such a lonely/not lonely state.

There is something missing at home to where I don’t feel comfortable. I made the comment to my other half which was, “I don’t feel anxious when I am at work.” Now, being a nurse, this is a bold statement. Now, the first fifteen years at work, yes, I was always anxious. Now this couldContinue reading “Validation”
Shedding
Supposedly the body regenerates itself every couple of years, however, the only way for this “shedding” to occur is to keep a positive mindset and shed the people who no longer serve you. This is a hard process because you have to stop believing in your old habits and create ones to make you happier,Continue reading “Shedding”
