Letting Go
Letting go of something or someone that no longer serves you is hard. In fact it’s Fucking hard. And emotional. And honestly there’s no fancy way to gift wrap it, it’s just plain crap. Sometimes the head and the heart don’t agree with each other and this can cause turmoil, but once you have acceptedContinue reading “Letting Go”
Waiting in the Wings
We operate a minimal child supervision policy in our house. Is this because I want to sneak off to watch Netflix and crime dramas unsuitable for small people during daylight hours? Yes.
