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
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
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
Grief is Challenging
I'm sincerely curious about others' experiences with grief. Death and loss are such complicated topics, aren't they? I'll never forget the most hurtful thing someone said to me after I lost my father to suicide. I was twenty years old and had returned to college shortly after the funeral. A close friend who I'll call … Continue reading Grief is Challenging
Dream On
Lately I love being alone in my house. Okay, who am I kidding. I've enjoyed this for as long as I can remember. When I was around eleven or twelve and my parents would finally let me stay home alone when my brother had baseball games or other activities, it was heaven. Peace. No expectations. … Continue reading Dream On
It’s Been a Hot Minute …
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 …
Smartphone Quandary
I've mentioned that I have focus issues. I know. I repeat myself regularly. Stay with me. I'll do my best to not bore you with the ALL the hairy details. Recently, I was talking to a friend who's also a busy mom. She takes care of her small farm, runs a business, and is active … Continue reading Smartphone Quandary
Serious Ponderings…Though it Might be the Worst Idea Ever
Perhaps I should start posting on Friday and call it the Friday Rant. Who am I kidding...it would have to be the Weekly Rant because I can't seem to commit to a particular day... _______________________________________________________________ I'm still in a bit of a state. Shortly after my last post, I felt worlds better. (Thank you to … Continue reading Serious Ponderings…Though it Might be the Worst Idea Ever
A Quick Check-in…
Hello, my dear Grief Happens readers. I've missed you! I'm fighting the urge to vomit out everything that's going on in my life. I mean...I want to share, but it feels like too much. Not too much in the normal way that I typically feel like it's all too much, though. This feels heavier and … Continue reading A Quick Check-in…
Happy February!
I'm back! I attempted several drafts...in December...then in January, trying to succinctly sum up last year and offer hope for 2017. But truthfully, I've been a little down. 2016 was a good year for Grief Happens. I posted regularly, saw an increase in views and gained more followers, but for some reason, rather than feeling … Continue reading Happy February!
