Stress relief is the major concern I have with my coming year of testing sober living. I think I use wine to escape my responsibilities. This is not a good thing, I know. It gives me a break from work and home responsibilities and lets my mind go free for an hour or two. ThoseContinue reading “Sober Stress Relief and Friends”

Simplifying
We acquire and store so much clutter. In our drawers and closets I have so much crap! I mean crap I think I will use someday, will need later; crap I don’t ever use! I am on a mission to simplify this stuff. I started last weekend and did all the kitchen drawers. That feltContinue reading “Simplifying”
Simple Living Intrigues Me
For the past 25 years I’ve been intrigued by simple living. I certainly have not created that lifestyle, but I’ve read and planned about it. Now that I’m considering changing my whole life around in just 15 days, I’m contemplating what a simple life could look like for me. When I think of simple livingContinue reading “Simple Living Intrigues Me”
Hind sight 2020
The year 2020 is approaching and I’m so excited for my journey (as a just turned 50 year old woman) and explorations into new territory this year.

This time Is It!

Yes, my drinking is less than it was then, not as excessive. But yes, I still drink almost daily and have been smoking too. I am ready to make theContinue reading “This time Is It!”
Time to be accountable and make it happen!
My high blood pressure was first diagnosed about 20 years ago when I was undergoing a life insurance test and it was slightly elevated. I tend to get nervous around doctors and over the years have been on blood pressure medicine for most of the time. However, I have never really tried to do thingsContinue reading “Time to be accountable and make it happen!”
Food, juicing, smoothies… clarity
It has been a very interesting week. I have been experiencing moments of clarity and in those moments of clarity, I feel like such a failure on so many levels. I normally would not admit this feeling. I would just pretend everything is wonderful and to the outside world I would appear to be aContinue reading “Food, juicing, smoothies… clarity”
What makes life a life you LOVE?
After much contemplation and testing over the past 2 weeks, as well as some deep conversations with friends and my husband I am contemplating what REALLY makes me say “I love my life”? I had planned to go 30 days abstaining from alcohol as well as other “big” changes for the month of January, butContinue reading “What makes life a life you LOVE?”
Exhausted super mom
When I decided to allow my son to have 6 boys sleep over for his 11th birthday I must have been out of my mind! 6 plus 2 others that came and were suppose to leave at 10. 5-10 pm is what I thought would work, then the others could watch a movie or playContinue reading “Exhausted super mom”
