This whole year has been spooky season, so this Halloween, I have decided nothing scary shall enter my home. No horror movies, no politics. Halloween 2025 is the day for vibes in my household. Who else is in?

It's been a harder week, and through it I am reminded that it's okay to slow down, that I can take whatever I want to off my plate, and I can speed back up when I feel rested.

If you woke up in a grumpy mood, just remember that's okay. Your one job is to exist, and you're doing it perfectly. Everything else is extra, and sometimes we just need to be grumpy. #mentalhealth

For anyone who needs to hear it, you're doing a great job today. You'll get through it.

If we can get enough support, I'm about to *officially* be a published author. Awfully Hilarious's third book, Pillow Talk is working towards it's launch. I #backeditbecause it normalizes what it means to be human. If you can give anything at all, I (a random stranger) would appreciate you forever.

Back in the office and wishing for one more day of vacation. If you had 24 hours to relax, anywhere in the world, where would you go?

Two days with no responsibilities feels like a dream. A dream I am going to take full advantage of. I hope you find a pocket for peace

At a trauma conference at the moment, learning about new ways to help traumatized people...in a week where there has been so much grief, loss, and trauma. What a week to be a trauma specialist. You're not alone, and you are loved.

I thought about going out, and then decided to relax in bed instead. It was the right choice tonight.

Sometimes, I worry I have too many dreams, and then I remember that I'm moving in a direction that works for me, and it just happens to have several projects involved. What are you currently working towards?

Yes. Many of my posts will include a cute picture of my (or a friend's) dog, because animals help our mental health, and mine is lifted up by almost exclusively by canines.

You're not behind. You are right on time with where you're at in your life journey. At least, that's what I tell myself.
