Nearly a month ago I wrote about My Child's Diagnosis and the difficulties we had been going through with our oldest son. I was eager to start his behavior therapy in hopes that the difficulties would begin to get easier on everyone. We went to the first official therapy appointment and learned some new techniques....

you become your environment
Why!? Why do I have so much anger that I have the shortest fuse out of anyone I know? They claim you become your environment. That your behavior is learned. Growing up, my dad was always seemingly angry (that is when he was around). He was constantly yelling at us; threatening us with belts and... Continue Reading →

Forgiveness?
I saw this on Pinterest and it got me in an uproar. I hear all the time that in order to move on you have to forgive the person who wronged you. I disagree. I think there is a difference between forgiveness and letting go (though some definitions of the word will say they are... Continue Reading →
What would you do?

I don't claim to be anything even remotely close to being perfect. I know my flaws and I know my mistakes. I... Continue Reading →
The Almighty Powerful Brain and it’s Subconsciousness
I use to have this same reoccurring dream. It was one of those extremely frustrating dreams where you then wake up ticked off and lacking energy. This dream occurred way too often for my liking, but I knew my subconscious thoughts were the cause of it. The dream itself was never consistent in scenery. It... Continue Reading →
Closing The Door
People come and people go. As I have gotten older, I have started to realize who values me as person verses those who seek nothing but to take advantage of me in some shape or form. I remember in health class, being told that our brains are not fully mature until around 25 years old.... Continue Reading →
Get Off Your High Horse
I think it's safe to say we all know someone who thinks they are the cat's meow. They believe that they are better than anyone and everyone. Sure, there is nothing wrong with thinking so highly of yourself, but the truth is neither me or you are better than each other. We all have our... Continue Reading →
Things I Wish I Was Better At
I think everyone has something that they wish they were better or good at. The other day I was doing a Halloween diy and I was getting a little annoyed at it. Mostly because the tools I had on hand did not cooperate the way I needed them to. See for yourself. I suppose it... Continue Reading →
