I Hung Up
I listen to victims statements or their statements to police in all sorts of podcasts or recording made in tv shows true crime based. I was recently listening to a podcast about Libby Caswell and her death. The end of the podcast series, there were a group of women recounting their own domestic violence stories. I guess it…

Trauma & Me
It’s hard to remember the good things. It honestly is. And after so much criticism from people who purported to love me, I almost shut down my blog. I decided to keep going because after all, this is for me. Not for anyone else. I started out with this as a means of reflecting on my life. I realize that…

Coming Together
There’s a lot to say for the tough stuff in life. You can put a cherry on top, if you’re so inclined. I didn’t have that ability. After the interview, I’ve taken on a few things. My responsibilities may change soon, a bit. I’m not sure. I’ve examined what I want and don’t want in…

The Peripheral & Aftershocks
My episode has aired! 79: Cursed (peripheralpod.com) So, it finally happened! My episode has found its way to the internet, for better or for worse. I received some positive and negative feedback.

Well, This is Odd….
Friday night, I was in my kitchen – as I often am. I was drinking my cup of coffee and had a moment. Eric has remarked from time to time that he smells cigarette smoke in the house when I’m gone. Neither one of us smoke, so it’s odd. Eric and I are firm believers…

Learning to be Different
I grew up with this idea of going to school and then continuing that schooling to become professional. Going to church. Getting married to that church guy/girl. And making babies. That’s the standard course. Try to have this viewpoint of having it together. All the while being a complete hot mess. My mom tried. And…

First Time – Shock & Trauma
Lately I feel like I’ve been coming apart at the seams. Considering I sew for a living – that’s pretty funny. (HA!) Aaaanyway… therapy is helping and it’s breaking things up for me. I’m feeling things I hadn’t thought about or dealt with properly. It’s removing them from their previously organized place and caused some…
