Yesterday and today my emotions caught up with me a bit from the passing of my grandma. In combination with a bipolar diagnosis, grief can be difficult to navigate and identify which feelings are coming from where. For the last few weeks since my grandma passed I submerged myself into new hobbies, self-improvement and my … Continue reading Grief hits and I need a minute.

With a new year comes a new me, always growing and learning to becoming the woman God created me to be. Enjoying this season of chosen singleness, I focus on my children, dog, music and fitness, centred in my aim to live a life of faith that is pleasing to the Lord.
Direction Dilemna
I met a new friend yesterday. We found out we actually had a lot in common from a love for writing to a favourite art gallery and of course books! She's actually a published author and as I mentioned in my blog maybe even a year ago, I had an idea for a book. A … Continue reading Direction Dilemna
New Cookbook and Pot roast leftovers idea
God has been so good in my life by giving me things to keep occupied for the summer. I found a really great recipe book at the Thrift shop yesterday.

Psoriasis vs. Water Fun
I found an app called EZ Habits the other day and it works great for keeping on track with habits you want to implement into your life. I use it along with other apps like Fly Lady Plus (cleaning app), and MyFitnessPal (self-explanatory!) to keep my life running smoothly. The app allows you to say … Continue reading Psoriasis vs. Water Fun
Medication time adjustment does miracles and I took up running!
I had a big win yesterday, finally discovering what was happening to me in the evenings when I couldn't bring myself to go down to sleep. I have always been a night owl and once I was diagnosed with bipolar, sleep became a topic that I really didn't like to address. I didn't have insomnia, … Continue reading Medication time adjustment does miracles and I took up running!
Gratitude, Exercise and some bonding with my son
Summer is going by so fast and my children are changing again. It seems every time we go away on a trip, they come back just that much more grown up. Okay, they are 8 and 5. Still! The changes are there. Often during the summer, I allow the boys to just go with the … Continue reading Gratitude, Exercise and some bonding with my son

While I’m waiting, I grieve
I've been called a fanatic, I've been criticised and scoffed at for my faith in Jesus' return. People gossip about my hope in the rapture and laugh. Sometimes it's difficult but most of the time I don't let it phase me. I live my life in light of his soon return and turn my sight … Continue reading While I’m waiting, I grieve
Correlation between Clutter in Home and Mind
It felt so good to do some things on my procrastination list today. #1. Clean out my spare room closet #2. Clean out under my bathroom sink It took me a while, because I tend to shove things into those spaces for long periods of time before finally going through and sorting into piles what … Continue reading Correlation between Clutter in Home and Mind
Have you ever tried mood tracking? I have used apps for this like Bearable which I found was great, but since September I bought a mini-calendar/agenda and have been tracking it there. Each day I write little jot notes about what I got up to that day and a little emoji to rate overall how … Continue reading
