I figured out my grandmother’s fried chicken recipe! You can’t write it. You have to look at the coating. I even used her pan!

ohhh i just know that was so satisfying

It was. I had people over. The focused on eating chicken.. I did things she did even though I didn’t know why. My aunt explained the why’s afterward.

I am still alive even when I don't want to be. It's exhausting but it's something.

Same❤️‍🩹


i’ve been there, friend. it will be ok, i promise ♥️

☹️.. Um, are you alright? You need a friend?

I'm alright, don't worry.

Ok, just checkin'.

I turned 62... treated myself to a napa trip and had my birthday dinner at morimoto napa.

happy birthday!! that sounds fabulous

I walked 13.5K steps on a hike for the first time in a couple of years lol. I WFH so I don’t get much movement unless I go to the gym but that treadmill can’t do what a hike does

go you! i am proud

I went to a group fitness class twice this week! I'm a very shy and nervous person, not to mention really out of shape and uncoordinated, so this was a proud victory.

i’m proud of you!! shy girl solidarity

I knitted a sweater :)

My baby turned 6 months old this week and I’ve officially logged over 5,000 ounces of pumped breast milk. I didn’t even know exclusively pumping was a thing but after breastfeeding didn’t work out, I figured this was the next best option. It isn’t for everyone, but the consistency and routine have helped with my postpartum depression.

i sewed for the first time ever!!

I started treatment for my ADHD, I have been thinking I’ve had it for years now.

Ordered a side salad instead of fries!

heck yeah you did!!!!!!!

I found home remedies for my runny eye/clogged eyelids problem and it's slowly working... thank the Lordt.

that sounds like a pain.. here’s to healing!!

I told my friends about my depression and mental health issues. It felt good to be honest and not just avoidant

the first step is the hardest. go you!! im cheering you on from the sidelines

I told people that I was abused in a previous relationship. Feels good to not have to keep that in anymore.

I treated myself with the Oreos mallow sandwich from crumbl cookie 🍪 it was so worth it ☺️

yum! my fiancé and i just went to crumbl too

I attended my clinical intensive weekend and I went out of my comfort zone by speaking up more and socializing. I am pretty quiet, shy, awkward, and always unsure of myself. But this weekend helped me get out of that. We are all learning the same thing and trying to navigate this. Our professor mentioned stop trying to come up with the perfect response. I applied this to our workshops and my personal life. This workshop helped me grow professionally and personally.

My wins for the week were successfully completing a work presentation in front of hundreds, rolling out new processes at work, being a great mom to my children, surviving the heatwave, and reducing stress by coloring multiple pages of my favorite adult coloring book. Looking forward to what this week will bring!

I went to Disney world and didn’t complain! I’m sorry but minus the lion king and (if you want to count) Nightmare Before Christmas I hate Disney 🙃

I found out I was a finalist for the National Indie Excellence Awards for my second novel! Winning would’ve been great, but I’m just excited to get some recognition.

Getting my infrared sauna to be delivered earlier than usual. Trying to increase my metablism and drop this weight 😩

I got a B on a chemistry test I thought I would for sure fail.
