Stop, Drop, and Meditate

May 21, 2016May 27, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 14 Comments

How many of you meditate? Do tell. What's your approach? Do you use an app? Do you go to a meditation group? Do you like guided meditation? TM -- Transcendental Meditation? I've explored meditation here and there throughout my adult life but rarely with much consistency. I did a few of those free 30-day meditations … Continue reading Stop, Drop, and Meditate

Update, CreativeLive, Inspiration

Hello, lovely readers! I'm working on part 3 of the series on my spring downward spiral, funk, mini-depression. I'm still not sure what to call it. If you're interested, here is part 1 and part 2. I'm pretty much on the other side of it now and am trying to gain some insight/clarity and understanding … Continue reading Update, CreativeLive, Inspiration

Yay for a Better Week!

April 28, 2016April 28, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 6 Comments

I recently shared that I've been having a rough go of things lately. Thank you to all of you who read and especially to those who sent me kind words of encouragement. They mean more to me than you can possibly know. I've had a much better week. I've been making a deliberate effort to … Continue reading Yay for a Better Week!

This is a shot I took last weekend when I was exploring behind my house. It would be a bit disingenuous to refer to this as "my back yard" since technically it's past our property lines, but isn't it simply gorgeous? The canal feeds into the Wilmington River and is one of several canals that … Continue reading Happy Earth Day – in a slightly tardy fashion

Where Did the Past TWO Months Go?

April 22, 2016April 25, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 17 Comments

  I want to tell you everything's okay...that I'm fine and all that. And while that wouldn't be a flat-out lie, it's far from the entire truth. I wish I could take a vacation from life. I want all the hard mommy duties to go away. Fuck meal prep and the revolving door that is … Continue reading Where Did the Past TWO Months Go?

Island Winter Dreary

March 4, 2016April 21, 2017 / Viv@Grief Happens / 14 Comments

The boys and I spent an afternoon at Tybee Island last week. We typically head that way for beach fun, but it was too chilly for that, so we waved at the ocean from the bridge and explored elsewhere. They hit the playground while I played with my camera, and then we all took a … Continue reading Island Winter Dreary

Facebook, Unfriending & Havoc Created: Part 1

February 16, 2016February 16, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 27 Comments

On Friday, I read a post on my friend Dyane's blog that reminded me of a life-altering experience my friend, Tara, had several years ago. I do a lot of thinking about social media -- the connections, behaviors I see, the benefits, the drawbacks. I ponder how I prefer using various platforms, both personally and … Continue reading Facebook, Unfriending & Havoc Created: Part 1

The Blizzard’s Lesson

February 5, 2016February 5, 2016 / Viv@Grief Happens / 3 Comments

Check out this fabulous post by my partner, Maggie, over at Live. Snap. Write. I hope all of you are staying warm and surviving winter (or summer for many of you.) It hasn't snowed in Coastal Georgia, but if I never see another rainy, overcast day I'll be okay. However, Maggie helped me shift my … Continue reading The Blizzard’s Lesson
