You are one kick ass strong woman. I really appreciate you. I really do. I am no you, but we do share something in common. We share the same words. I am using your words often. Just for me. Just to validate and explain some things that I couldn’t before. I thank you. And I …

Breadcrumbs
The mornings are the worst. Truly the worst. I wake up and my body is so tight I fear my ligaments will pop if I stand. In those first moments walking feels like a scary endeavor. Each step full of tension as my arms radiate with tension and my breath feels so shallow. Stairs look …
