What is this site about?

Well…..parenting and mental health mostly….and, maybe, a touch of my struggles with rheumatoid arthritis….

Being a wife and mama is what I love most so, of course, family will be a topic I cover. Along with family matters, I will be discussing mental health. I have struggled with anxiety and depression myself, stemming from the neglect and emotional abuse I endured as a child.

The idea to start a blog came from my therapist. She encouraged me to write a journal as a way to work through and understand the details of my depression. I often scribbled my thoughts in a journal as a child, so I decided to try writing again. What could it hurt, right? I began my journal and soon realized how much I had missed expressing myself in this way.

The decision to publicize my accounts came from a need to help others. SO…my husband got me started with a web page and here I am!….writing with the hope that someone out there benefits from something I have to share.
