I love to write.
Journaling, online or on paper, has always been a great way for me to process and share. It’s also one of the best ways to get to know me and all the experiences that create this life journey of mine.
It’s time for transition.
Just for those who may not know me – I touch people for a living and have done so for about two decades! LOL After a very unpredictable last few months of cancelations by me and by clients, I’m excited to report to be doing well after having a small and very mild case of Covid for the second time early January. While I continue to be grateful for my strong immune system, I am pivoting, again, and simplifying a lot this year. Two weeks ago, started a new gig and am excited for the challenge as it utilizes two things I’ve done for...

If you’ve been following me on Facebook, you may have noticed that I’ve recently purchased a 1979 Coachman Cadet pull-behind camper and I’m beginning the renovation process. Having just returned from a vacation with my partner and his phat RV motor coach that we secured together earlier this year, I’m even more convinced that a goal I set for myself years ago is coming to fruition. The law of attraction is bringing things into place again and I’m excited to go with the flow. For years, I’ve talked about how...

While wogging (my creative way of explaining a walk/jog) at the Springfield Nature Center yesterday, I was reminded of how effective exercise is, especially exercising outside, at managing my depression. Being thrown off track in the gym was just the beginning of a series of events that contributed to the reawakening of rebellious Christy. She’s the one who sometimes forgets that when she’s angry and resentful at a situation, that anger and resentment turns to depression and only hurts her in the end. So, here I am roughly 20...

This year, well, the last two years have been interesting to say the least. I’ve found a lot of comfort in the story that is told about the farmer and his son that I first read in The Way of the Peaceful Warrior and have done my best to stop seeing things as good or bad, but just as they are. If I’ve learned anything in my almost 45 years on this planet, it’s that everything is constantly evolving so don’t get too comfortable. Yesterday is gone and tomorrow isn’t promised, so you might as well do your absolute...

In physics, vibrations are the mechanical oscillations(movements) of an object going up and down a equilibrium point. All things in the Universe are just constant vibrations. All matter is just different types of vibrations. Our thoughts literally become our things.

Any of you watch The Social Dilemma on Netflix yet? I watched it back in October. That combined with a lot of transition in my personal life, I chose to take a conscious break from social media, especially Facebook. I believe I even posted about it and attempted to drive some friends and followers to my Instagram business page while I tightened up the privacy on all my personal pages. I did this heading into November, which is ironically one of the more challenging times of the year for me. This is generally when my seasonal depression...

I’m honored to be a part of a tight knit group of ladies who, even through the pandemic, have stayed in touch and supported one another. Have you ever noticed how your body feels after you’ve had a conversation with a friend who needed their spirits lifted? You felt better, too, right? Since February, I’ve noticed more and more ’empowerment’ groups popping up on Facebook and in conversations with clients. Women’s circles, men’s circles, Zoom calls, use of apps like House Party and Facebook Messenger...

So, now I am finishing the post, after some pretty incredible irony. I mentioned above I’ve been listening to a book, The Five Second Rule. Part of Mel Robbins’ challenge is to leave your cell phone in your bathroom at night and not pick it up again (except for turning off the alarm, if necessary) until accomplishing several things for yourself, with no distractions every morning. I considered trying it Thursday night/Friday morning, but kind of rolled my eyes and thought, it’s okay…I could easily take a break from my...

Wowie, it’s been a while, huh? Needless to say, A LOT has happened in the last eight months. I was on a roll with my writing for a while, then per usual, fell into a big slump in September. If I had not had someone to be accountable to, I would have back slid.

Today seems like an appropriate day to begin talking about what I’ve been putting INTO my body rather than doing with my body along this journey. As of this week, I’ve officially made it back into ketosis after backsliding a little bit due to travel, cheating and general laziness when it comes to meal prep. My ketone levels are ranging between roughly 15-40 mg on the dip stick this week. Ever since the hair loss issue began in June, I’ve been eating a few more carbs as well as taking a hefty amount of supplements. This has...
