You Are Enough. That's what this series has been called. It started with feeling in between. Feeling that I was in between going through the motions and picking myself up off the ground. Dragging myself out of bed and crying on the kitchen floor. blacking out. flashing back. struggling to be present. be mindful. In… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 11 “You Are More Than Enough”

You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 10 “The Shoulds”
It’s December 1st and it’s about 6:30 am. I woke up excited and felt like it was going to be a good day. I know it’s still going to be a good day. But, as JP and I talked and he gave me his portion of rent to deposit, I checked my online banking account… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 10 “The Shoulds”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 9″I Am Not What I Eat”
Last week was Thanksgiving and it's the first holiday that I wasn't eating in a deficit. First real holiday. It was the first time I wasn't paranoid about what was going on my plate, but I still asked ahead what was on the menu. That's how I plan and those in my life know that,… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 9″I Am Not What I Eat”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 8 “I’m Not Just Helping Them With Their Goals, I’m Testing My Own”
This past week was top notch. It was the best week in a while. If I'm going to be honest, it's probably the best I've felt, behaved and went about my day since August. I'm starting to feel more clear headed and I think I'm finally figuring out my place. I'm figuring out how I'm… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 8 “I’m Not Just Helping Them With Their Goals, I’m Testing My Own”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 7 “Today”
Today is a new day. Today the world feels lighter. Today the clouds and cold don't seem burdensome. Today I can make a difference. Today I can dream bigger than I ever thought I could. Today is the day. Tomorrow will be too. And the next day and the next day. Over the weekend JP… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 7 “Today”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 6 “I Guess I Didn’t Know What It Was Like To Have That Much Love In My Life”
I was texting with my friend Ali this morning about our visit yesterday. Yesterday, Ali drove from New Jersey to Sleepy Hollow, NY; I drove from Massachusetts to Sleepy Hollow, NY and Samantha drove from Pennsylvania to Sleepy Hollow, NY. We've never met. I've been texting separately with both of them for months, but they… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 6 “I Guess I Didn’t Know What It Was Like To Have That Much Love In My Life”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 5 “Creating a Better Self”
This week is going to be rated about 7.7. I had an anxiety attack and crying fit, but I also ate the most amazing burger too. Maybe that's the balance. There's good days and bad days. Sometimes you brush off the comments and some days they get to you because YOU ARE HUMAN. So this… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 5 “Creating a Better Self”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 4 “Together, But Separate”
This week was pretty great. I know as the days and weeks add up I've been saying that they've been getting better, but let's be honest some of those weeks had shitty days. This week hasn't had one bad day. I know that's so optimistic it's almost adorable. But it's true. On Monday, JP went… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 4 “Together, But Separate”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 3 “Burritos With Bacon and Doughnuts With Cider, Hiking and Snuggles and Something That Rhymes With That”
I would say this week had more ups than downs and that's a start. It wasn't everything I wanted, but well you know one day at all I guess. It's probably the best week I've had in a while. At the beginning of the week I set a list of things I wanted to accomplish.… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 3 “Burritos With Bacon and Doughnuts With Cider, Hiking and Snuggles and Something That Rhymes With That”
You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 2 “I Know This Is Going to Make Me Uncomfortable”
The past few days have been weird. Friday I didn't know what to do with myself. I guess that's normal though. We cleaned and unpacked more boxes. I moved into the apartment in July quickly after my surgery when I had just gone back to work. JP moved in at the beginning of September. So… Continue reading You Are Enough Blog Series: Post 2 “I Know This Is Going to Make Me Uncomfortable”
