ever seeking a right-fit life
Every now and then, when checking to confirm that a blog has posted properly, I'll follow one of the the "more from this author" links and catch a glimpse into a past state of mind. Today, I'm happy and grateful. My health is the best it's been in nearly a decade. I have a great... Continue Reading →
You walk into your local grocery store, ready to snatch up the usual items on your grocery list. You scan the end caps, checking for the latest deals. To your delight, your favorite chips and gummy bears are on sale. Both are a great deal, so you throw a bag of each into your shopping... Continue Reading →
I started the itraconazle for my systemic mycotoxin poisoning on May 12th. It's been three weeks. Not much has changed... yet. Mostly, I am exceptionally tired. Compared to the debilitating fatigue I experienced form late-2017 to late-2021, this is a cakewalk, yet still frustrating. I've been experiencing tiny blips of old mold symptoms and the...

If you were totally broke the rest of your life, do you think you could still enjoy yourself? I've spent most of my life on a very limited income, one mistake away from calamity. Yet, I still found ways to have fun without spending money. Most people, unfortunately, don't seem to recognize the hardship as... Continue Reading →
Next month, I'll be traveling for the first time since 2019. Due to immunological dysfunction, I've been a bit nervous about getting on a plane. While the pandemic is over for most, it's still on my radar. I am unvaccinated. I had a severe allergic reaction to a medical device and the ingredient suspected to... Continue Reading →
Laughter is wine for the soul - laughter soft, or loud and deep, tinged through with seriousness - the hilarious declaration made by man that life is worth living. Sean O'Casey There’s a lot of literature that shows that modern humans are, more or less, living in a perpetual state of "fight or flight" response.... Continue Reading →
Hello friends, and Happy Memorial Day! To those who served our beautiful country, thank you! For those lucky enjoy to have a long weekend, enjoy! I had the pleasure of visiting friends at the cabin in the woods. In the early 1900s, their home began as a one-room stagecoach stop for miners coming to work... Continue Reading →
As a teen, I came across Sharon Old's poem The Knowing and decided that feeling she describes was my prerequisite for intimacy. Feeling safe in someone’s energy is a different type of intimacy, and something I didn't experience until my current partner. That feeling of peace and protection is definitely underrated. That's what I was... Continue Reading →
"When I first moved to Phoenix, my grandma took every opportunity to tell her friends that she was older than the state her grandson now called home." When my chiropractor told me this the other day, I cocked me head to the side to consider the comment. But, indeed, his grandma (born in 1910) was... Continue Reading →
I don't particularly like meeting new people. It's not that I'm antisocial but, rather, I value my energy. Most people aren't worth the energy to meet. They're not interesting people. The gap between interesting people and the least common denominator is vast. That gap is almost always represented by the difference between consumers versus creators,... Continue Reading →

The weekend is upon us yet again! It feels like this year is just flying by. The days are here and then gone in a flash. It's not just me, right? It's hard to keep track of everything.

What do you think when you see people with a gun holster at their hip? How about a shirt that reads, "I've had 27 abortions"? What about someone with a MAGA hat, or pronoun pins? How about a young man with pants sagging down to his knees? Or the young woman whose breast and butt... Continue Reading →
In 2015, I developed a lung infection. I hacked and wheezed for weeks as bacterial pneumonia and fungal cocci colonized both lungs. Intent on recovering, I ditched GMO-laded produce and cleaning agents with ingredients I couldn't pronounce. In going au naturel, I also decided to switch from bleached cotton tampons to something that wouldn't leach... Continue Reading →
"You've become a shell of the person you used to be." The words stung as they spilled from my best friend's mouth. They were the last words she ever said to me. The year was 2018 and, in retrospect, the worst year of my illness. I had recently left her bachelorette party around sunset because... Continue Reading →
