Final Blog (For Now)
My life has been busy, a little too busy for blogging. Having a website also costs money and as I have been saying lately about any extra costs, “in this economy?” I don’t make money from my blogs, they are free. They take time and effort to write. Time is hard to come by. (Side…

The Craziest Part of Narcissistic Abuse
It has been a minute since I’ve been able to write. I’ve been busy (in a good way). I want to take a moment to write about the craziest part of narcissistic abuse- feeling crazy. The one thing that I haven’t been able to shake has been feeling crazy. I’m not sure how to explain…

One Year of Blogging
It is crazy to think that one year ago I started my blog. An entire year full of healing, sharing my healing and focusing on self-love. After going no contact, I spent the first six months resting, writing and figuring out exactly how to heal. At first, I didn’t necessarily know that I needed to…

Goodbye People Pleaser, Hello Me
I used to be like Ella Enchanted. I used to be such a people pleaser, it makes me sick. I was like this until recently, until I was forced to end the people pleasing tendencies in me. This transformation has not felt easy or beautiful, but it has changed me in ways that I needed…

Trauma and Healing Thoughts
I don’t want to be anything like the guy in Baby Reindeer. I just recently watched that show on Netflix and I was disturbed. I applaud his honesty with telling his story, although I hated the ending. It struck a nerve in me that he became so obsessed with what happened to him and why…
