The Schizophrenic Mom

I am a mother of 2 precious angels who drive me slightly more crazy

When asked "are you crazy?!" my favorite come back is:
"yes! And I have the papers to prove it! How about you?" LOL

Expectations
Here recently, I've been prompted to reflect on my expectations from relationships, stirring up a terrifying number of emotions and thoughts I am working through in therapy. Throughout my life, I've struggled particularly in my interactions with people, especially men, which has left me with PTSD, anxiety, and a tendency to overthink. Sometimes I question if my complexities and issues make me too much for anyone to handle. So I have decided to confess my good sides and bad sides for potential friends ... or those who may want to be more than friends.

A Precious Heart
In the tender embrace of a craftsman's hands, my journey unfolded, born from the fragments of a life rich with experiences. Each hue, each shard, carried within it a tapestry of memories, woven from the colorful panes of a glass-filled storm door that my creator's children had helped stain. Each square a separate color as the little ones were taught that rainbows are what hold the promises of the future, the hopes of a life newly started.

Training Psychiatric Service Dogs
I had the idea for this article several years ago, but here recently I have had the overwhelming urge to write it as I have been faced with reports of several "professionals" (whether lawyers or doctors or even staff at libraries or restaurants) having insistence on knowing what certification the dog has passed, stating that in order to be a service dog that it has to have special papers, or deeming a well-behaved service dog unwelcome simply because it has no identification.

The Words You Say May Last A Moment. Content Warning.
Here recently I have been doing a lot of self-reflection as I try to remember who I am, what I am, and how that all can flow together. I have plenty of bad memories, but I wanted to write tonight about a few comforting memories I have had recently.

Whispers of Strength Release!!!
I am so excited to share this news with you all and am so in awe at how my God works! Almost a year ago, my first pick at a Christian publishing company informed me that they were "not confident the book would produce enough sales in our market to warrant the development costs." I felt like God might be telling me that I shouldn't publish Whispers of Strength after all. It is a big step in my faith, a big risk for me, and very personal.
