It’s true, you can let go of a little bit of that anxiety you’ve been holding so closely. Eventually, it really is going to be ok, it’s just going to take a little while. In the early days of the shut down, my anxiety, and blood pressure was creeping through the roof. We were living
Winter getaway anyone? Neither our vacation bank account at work, nor our actual bank had enough margin for us to head south for a week like all of the other cool kids, so we decided to have an alternate adventure. Where can you go for a few days that will give you lots of ad
Sometimes you really are here for a good time and not a long time. We had a whirlwind visit to see family and also to a little bit of fun back into what has become a rapidly passing by summer. We arrived in the County early afternoon, and although I can proudly say that I

The next step of our trip was Naples, a town we don’t know a whole lot about except that it’s close to Pompeii and Vesuvius and has a reputation that there is lots of crime. That being said, it hasn’t felt any less safe than any other city I’ve travelled to so maybe what was
My husband and I have headed off on an exciting vacation to celebrate his 50th birthday. We’ve not travelled together as much as we would have liked over the years, so are making up a bit for lost time. The first leg of our journey is over, we left rainy London very early this morning
This week I went to an anonymous support group. It had been on my radar for about three months, but on any given night that I could have gone, I lacked either the free time, the energy, or the courage. That being said, if there was one thing about me that I don’t mind sharing
