It's Me!
It has been almost 2 years since my last blog post was shared. SOOOO much has happened in that time and I have so much to share with you all!
First off, let me say I am sorry for leaving so suddenly and without a word... and at a sort of cliffhanger about my 10-year wedding anniversary trip.... I will see what I can remember about what I was going to share and catch up on that!
In the last 2 years, so many things have happened.
My 3-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes (He is now 5).
We were told we would have to move, then we could stay, then we had to move, but wait- we could stay again... Nope, just kidding, time to move... WAIT! You can stay for 1 more year... All of this started the day we got home from the hospital with our son- fresh from his diagnosis.
I started my own theater company called Fields and Co Productions... Well unofficially started... that's a whole story. But I am working to make it a legit non-profit in the next couple of months.
I had MAJOR Dental Whole Mouth Restoration surgery done...
We went on a family vacation to Disneyland.
A family camping trip to Yellowstone.
My husband got SOBER! AND he has stayed sober since June, 2022.
We moved.... about 5 minutes away.
I lost one of my favorite humans.... My sweet Grandpa Area died in January, 2023. Grief is not fun. It hurts almost every day knowing I will never see him, hear his laugh, or feel his hugs ever again.
I am on a new journey of working through depression. Just started a fresh prescription and so far, I'm feeling better. Not great yet, but I feel I am on the upswing... My weight, my mental health, and my ability to be the best mom I can be have been affected. I am anxious to get back to my best self.... OR at least a better version of now.
I am excited to get back to blogging, and sharing my journey, and I would love to hear from you. Comments on posts, downloading my FREE activities, following me on social media, and letting me know I have readers... Is there anyone out there who actually reads these posts, or is this an awesome forum to vent through my life and problem-solve as I write? Am I helping anyone else, or am I just helping myself? Both are valuable and worthwhile, but indulge my curiosity a bit! I would love to hear how you feel about what you read, any questions you have about my experiences, etc.
Let's get back into the groove... Once again I am ready to Rise from the Ashes and be the Phoenix Mama I know I am deep down!
