“I remembered nothing before I was 8 years old.” I had said the words in Broken back in 2015. I had no idea. It never occurred to me. I never caught on how unusual that is. Today, it all makes sense. Today, the pieces are finally together like a puzzling I’ve been assembling all my […]
The Healing Garden… Chapter #1
I’ve come a long way in 2 years. You wouldn’t recognize me. My family doesn’t know me. At first, in 2020 when this next stage of mine started, I didn’t know what was happening to me. I had this overwhelming urge to leave. To just “get up and go,” and every day it got louder […]
Out of Tissues or Toilet paper? Here’s what we’re doing!
There I was yesterday morning, sipping my coffee and racking my brain over my latest concern: What if I can’t restock my toilet paper by the time it runs out? We didn’t panic buy.

Cats Movie Review…the long review.
You can read my short review here. This is the long rant that I managed to hold in over night. Last night, I finally decided to go watch Cats in the cinema. After reading through dozens of nasty reviews, I realized all of the critics, had not seen Cats before, hated or did not attend […]

The InVitro Experience Part #2
To understand this article, read this article first. I ended with the line ” Retrieval Day…To be continued 21 January 2019.” I miscarried that night and was rushed to the ER where they confirmed I had miscarried. Needless to say, I was too disheartened at the time to write the article. Stage #3a – Retrieval […]
IVF Update – Day 10 AET
Day 10 AET (After Embryo Transfer) Ever feel like you’ve beaten a topic to death? That’s how undergoing IVF feels. Actually, it feels like a lot of things, but this is one thing that really isn’t addressed much. Most people don’t understand how it’s done.
