Have you ever had questions about your religion that you just couldn’t shake? And it seemed like no one would give you the answers you were searching for? Maybe you’ve been quietly struggling with doubts for years. No matter what your experience or what brought you here, let me say this…religious deconstruction is real, it’s…
I spent most of my life believing I was broken. Not in a dramatic way. Just in the quiet, daily way, where you look at everyone else and wonder why the things that come easily for them feel like climbing a wall in wet socks for you. I’m 56 now. Post-menopausal. Autistic and ADHD…what they…
It’s summertime here in South Carolina, and that means temperatures in the mid to upper 90s and lots of humidity. Now, I will be the first to admit that I don’t do well in the heat. Having to spend time outside when it’s near triple digits quickly throws my brain into sensory overload! When it’s…

You stop making silly sound effects when you’re driving too fast down a hill. When you “grow up,” life gets far too serious, and somewhere along the way, you let the serious stuff push out…
I have always been hot-natured. So when the summertime rolls around, I love something cold to drink. Now, I will admit that when I was younger, I drank a lot of diet soft drinks.
