The main reason I do squats is so that my butt doesn’t jiggle as I run away from you. Am I joking?? You will never know….
Part of my struggle is that I find ‘people-ing’ hard. I really like my fellow humans, but my illness manifests in a form of social anxiety. Please don’t take it personally if you catch me running. I love you. When I am with you, I delight in you. But now, I am going to go hide in my room.
This is my view more often than not these days. Depression sucks. I am not alone. You are not alone…. except when we want to be.
I am a 40 + Canadian gal who feels like I have lived many lives. My current life consists of raising 4 foster babies ages 4 and under. It is crazy. It is hard. And it is so very good. In my spare time (insert laugh here) I am multi certified/licensed as a fitness instructor and working on more. Mid life crisis much?
I often find myself in a place where within the messy chapters of my life (Depression is part of this makeup of mine), I occasionally find my voice and feel compelled to share. This may only be because I am more extroverted than not more so than because I have something life altering to convey.
I hope to openly and vulnerably share my life with a huge dose of humour and maybe a pinch of sarcasm.
The underlying premise of everything I put forth is my faith which is grounded in love, hope, forgiveness, and grace.

Nope. You’re not alone.
