So much keeps happening to me and now that I have more friends, I thought I would have more opportunities to talk about it. But no, I am still so alone. 2025 is not my year so far. Not sure why I deserve everything that has happened to me in the last couple months. I… Continue reading Still So Alone

Not Going to Plan
Three weeks ago, I was feeling really hopeful about this year. But things are not going to plan. Why does life have to be so difficult? I know that I really need to quit smoking. There are so many reasons like finances, health, and love. But it’s not happening because I’m not ready to give… Continue reading Not Going to Plan
Could This Be My Year?
Happy New Year! The last few years have involved a lot of change and self discovery for me. Finally could this be my year? Let’s start with 2024 in review. There were a lot of challenges, to say the least. But with those came the resilience to overcome them. Self doubt crept in regularly throughout… Continue reading Could This Be My Year?
I Am Good Enough
In my last post, I talked about limiting beliefs and how I need to have confidence in who I am. So it turns out I am good enough. First up, I auditioned for the next local musical. There were over a hundred people that went for it. After not getting into a couple of shows… Continue reading I Am Good Enough
I’m Not Good Enough
I recently tried a free guided meditation about getting rid of limiting beliefs. It made me realize there’s one consistent thing that holds me back in all aspects of my life. The thought that I’m not good enough. My marriage ended nearly six years ago and I haven’t had one single date. Loneliness is so… Continue reading I’m Not Good Enough

They said “you are so strong”… I’m currently halfway through our run of shows for the local musical. It’s been such an amazing time being part of this cast. The production is… Continue reading You Are So Strong
Follow Your Dreams
If there is one thing I’ve learned in the last few years of trying to improve myself and be happy, it comes down to one main thing. Follow your dreams. When I separated over five years ago, I knew it would be tough. I was in such a bad place and had no support. It… Continue reading Follow Your Dreams
Nobody Understands
With my daughter’s anxiety at its worst lately, I’ve come to think about the life I live. It isn’t easy, even though it may look like that to a lot of people. Nobody understands how tough it is. My marriage ended over five years ago. For those of you who haven’t read this blog before,… Continue reading Nobody Understands
Looking for the Positive
I haven’t posted for a while. There were so many things keeping me down. It’s been tough looking for the positive in my life. In my last post, I talked about the rollercoaster that is life. I’ve tried so hard the last few years to make real changes. Just when I think things are looking… Continue reading Looking for the Positive
Life is a Rollercoaster
This year started with so many positives. Then the last four weeks went downhill again. Life is a rollercoaster, so many ups and downs. In my last post, I talked about breaking bad habits. Unfortunately it didn’t go quite as well as I planned. After 24 hours of not smoking, I was so sick. Supposedly… Continue reading Life is a Rollercoaster
