Summer Will Always Have My Heart, Heat and All

July 18, 2026July 18, 2026 / Viv@Grief Happens / 8 Comments

Do you prefer Summer? Winter? Spring? Fall? Heat, humidity, all of it, I will take summer any day. My friend Natalie sent me a pic of her dash today around 2pm. 118 degrees F. I was stunned. I know a vehicle parked in the sun shows an exaggerated temperature, but that’s high even in Savannah … Continue reading Summer Will Always Have My Heart, Heat and All

Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!

July 15, 2026 / Viv@Grief Happens / 5 Comments

I'm wide awake at an hour when I should be sleeping. We had pretty strong afternoon storms today and lost power for a couple of hours. I was home alone and made an unwise decision to nap on the couch, so here I sit. Habits fascinate me. I am super inspired by people who come … Continue reading Why Do I Hate it So Much When People Say ‘Just Make it a Habit’? UGH!

In a Hectic World, Where’s Your Peace?

October 17, 2025 / Viv@Grief Happens / 7 Comments

This question has been on my mind as I have struggled mightily with my mental health over the past few months. Where is my peace? Must I simply accept that this is just how it is for me? Surely not. I can't be the only person who feels this way. Not to be cryptic, but … Continue reading In a Hectic World, Where’s Your Peace?

Less Forcing, More Embracing

July 5, 2025July 9, 2025 / Viv@Grief Happens / 7 Comments

Early in the pandemic, mid-2020 would be my guess, one of my wise guides introduced me to Human Design. I was beyond intrigued. I dove head first down the rabbit hole and ingested everything on the topic that I possibly could. This Human Design blueprint was fascinating. It gave me insight into myself and my … Continue reading Less Forcing, More Embracing

Winds of March

March 1, 2025 / Viv@Grief Happens / 3 Comments

February had to be the fastest month ever. How is it March already? Life is moving along, and I am eagerly anticipating our family vacation in April. I need a change in scenery. My couch is entirely too comfortable at the moment. I played tennis this morning and have lacked motivation to do anything else … Continue reading Winds of March

Summer, Parenting Teens, Grease

June 22, 2024 / Viv@Grief Happens / 5 Comments

I'm at that point in summer where I need to set explicit goals for myself. Otherwise nothing is getting done. Due to the nature of my family's schedules, I'm in a reactive sort of mode. Neither of my teen boys drive yet, so I'm the chauffeur. Thankfully, most of the places they go are near … Continue reading Summer, Parenting Teens, Grease

It’s Been a Hot Minute …

May 26, 2024 / Viv@Grief Happens / 14 Comments

I have no idea if anyone from the early days pops over here any longer; still, an update feels necessary. The last time I wrote, we were drowning in a pandemic. I had two kids in middle school, and Gil and I were doing our best to work and monitor their at-home studies. It was … Continue reading It’s Been a Hot Minute …

Summer – Baseball, Boys, and Tension Headaches

June 15, 2019June 15, 2019 / Viv@Grief Happens / 4 Comments

Hey there! How's life treating you? I've had a bit of an itch to write here again, so let's get to it. I'm in my comfy bed after a beautiful evening at the Savannah Bananas baseball game with Piers and Wallace. First of all, if you like baseball, or even if you don't but enjoy … Continue reading Summer – Baseball, Boys, and Tension Headaches

Libraries and ADHD – A Love/Hate Relationship

December 15, 2018December 15, 2018 / Viv@Grief Happens / 2 Comments

Since I got another library notification about overdue books in my inbox this morning, AND because I want to revive this poor neglected blog, it seemed like a perfect time to pull this beauty from the archives. Enjoy! Hope the holiday season is treating you well. Lots of love, friends.

Will I Ever Be a Grown-up?

August 31, 2018August 31, 2018 / Viv@Grief Happens / 7 Comments

I assure you I am most definitely adult-worthy if we're referring to trips around the sun. Lately, though, I realize that I've lost some skills in the ten-plus year span of birthing and raising children. A lot has happened in ten years. Currently, I'm attempting to make sense of some seemingly basic stuff that I … Continue reading Will I Ever Be a Grown-up?
