Still Looking for a Title
Intro When I first sat down to write my story I had grand ideas about something like an autobiography- telling a sometimes unbelievable story as I remember it. It's been years since that idea, and what follows is the culmination of ideas, experiences and perceptions gained from keeping years of personal journals.

The First Step - An Open Letter
Today is my 40th birthday. I’m actually quite excited to be 40. I had a minor flip out at turning 30, but 10 years later, I’m not just fine with being another decade older, I’m happy about it. I’m attributing that to being more settled in my life now than I was then. My life isn’t perfect, I work hard and I work long hours that mean my work/life balance is , well, unbalanced. But the trade off is I’ve achieved a lot in the last 10 years.

I unfollowed over 200 Influencers/Celebrities on Instagram
Before I get started on why I decided to unfollow these celebrities and influencers I wanted to take a moment to link my story What I realized when I deleted Facebook. It was such an eye opening experience for me. Its been over 7 months since I got rid of facebook and I have still not looked back. I don't miss the toxicity of that platform, and anyone that knows me personally I keep in contact with via texts and phone calls. I'm not suggesting this is for everyone, but what I can say is if you're feeling drained or irritable try limiting your use and see what happens.

Learning to adult
I would love to use my past experiences to tell my story and give hope to those out there who need it. I want to be a voice to those who feel like they can’t speak and prove to them that they do have a voice. I want my story to prove that anyone can overcome barriers, just as I have. I want to make a change to our current homeless situation as well as provide stability and health to the community.

I Wasn't Always a Dirty Girl
Damn. I just licked my fingers. Oh god, and I didn’t wash my hands when I came home, because I was too busy hunkering down to finish the work I’d started before I left. Now I probably have COVID. Remember when we only worried about germs and not a deadly virus? Oh, and I touched so many things on my errands today! Damn! That one little flick of the tongue to the tip of my fingers, fingers trying to separate two pieces of blank paper so that I could write notes on one. And now, I’m already feeling queasy.

Have You Ever Experienced Depression?
Depression! Who cares to hear about depression? I work with it every week in a group I facilitate. One person described the worst depression being when we go numb and feel nothing! We could care less about living or anything going on around us.
