Foray into Maximized Living

January 23, 2013

Four hours of sleep in total in the last forty-eight hours.  The saddest part is that was WITH a prescription strength sleeping pill last night.  Sigh. My body is going through a weird phase right now.  More on that later. Despite my lack of sleep, the past few days have been filled with A LOT [...]

A week ago today I was strolling through Kensington Gardens.  Gardens and parks are my favorite part of any city.  In Athens I spent a lot of time in the Royal Gardens, just eating spanikopita, talking to friends, and journaling or people watching while listening to music.

On Tuesday night as I settled down to watch one of my favorite shows, Private Practice,  I struggled to find a comfortable position on the couch because my stomach was starting to hurt.  That’s nothing new for me.  I’ve had chronic stomach problems my whole life that only went away during and after my sickest [...]

(image source)  This is a topic that I really didn’t want to write about and yet I feel called to do so.  At the end of July, I had to part ways with my now ex-boyfriend and it hit me harder than I ever could have imagined.  Although we had broken up before, we were [...]

What I’ve Learned from the Story Never Shared: Turning Trauma into Strength

July 19, 2012

It was a tough decision to share my story (part 1 and part 2), and I didn’t do it to evoke sympathy, but I wanted my readers to know where I’ve been and why I have decided to be so raw in my writing.  After years of having to hide this in the dark and [...]

Recollections of July’s Past and Present

July 2, 2012

I have to say that as the 4th of July approaches, I have mixed feelings.  Not because of a lack of patriotism, but because I haven’t celebrated this holiday since 2009.  The summer of 2010 I was in France doing this… Drinking wine and eating baguettes at 7:30 am.  I had woken up at 4:45 [...]

The Story I’ve Never Shared: Part 1

June 20, 2012

Do you ever feel like you’re missing something? Like you are this puzzle that is missing a few pieces or the picture doesn’t really make sense? Have you ever felt broken? Have you ever secretly or not so secretly wished that you were someone else? Even just for a day? (image source) This is part [...]

I Think I’ll Go to Boston….But More Like Dropkick Murphys

May 5, 2012

Wow, the week has certainly flown by without any school work to do.  In a week from today, I will be a college graduate and that is just way too hard to believe.  A few days after that I’ll be six months symptom-free, and to me that’s my biggest accomplishment yet. Oh yeah, you’re probably [...]
