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. It’s been a struggle. For me, the over reaching reason that I did the podcast was because I wanted people to know the…

#twoyearstoFinland
I suppose I should explain a few things. I thought I had my thought process together. Apparently I don’t. I’ll try to wrap things up. So… here goes. I’ve been fighting to get through my feelings of inadequacy and I’ve found a modicum of success. My husband and I have been dealing with some of…

Wanting to Be Alone
I find myself at a unique time in my life where I’m both lonely and desiring nothing more than to be alone. My husband is disabled and cannot work, so he’s home all the time. I understand that it’s necessary to some degree, but I would love nothing more than to have the house to…

Phone Calls
I’ve been horrible over the last few years with social media and technology. Since I’m a proponent of change, I want my loved ones to know who I am now. That I’m better. So…I made a phone call to a friend. For an hour and a half. I hadn’t talked to her like this since…
