Today is the big day, and it’s a good day. In a few hours polls will close and my fate will be decided for me. I have to keep reminding myself that what is being decided is how I am to proceed, not if I am to proceed. I keep reminding myself that these votes […]

Tackle it Tuesday-Clean Life Challenge-Week 4
So last week’s challenge was a good one. The kitchen cabinet that WE decided I should tackle was a really good one. This is the bag of JUNK I decided I didn’t need anymore…Did you know that chocolate expires?? This cabinet was MY cabinet. There was little more in this cabinet than my collection of […]

Mamavation Monday–Finalist to be chosen
I wanted to make sure that I wrote my Mamavation Monday post before finalists were chosen, so as not to let the decision affect my writing, (although I most certainly will have more to say after). This week has been a journey in self-destruction self-discovery. I was getting stronger every day of the 2week challenge […]

Just Another Mamavation Monday!
I know my Mamavation Monday posts are often filled with wistful thinking and excuses for why last week was SOOOOO HAAAAARD. This Monday I am overflowing with wistful thinking and I don’t need any excuses. I gave this week everything I had to give and a little bit more. Did I do it all perfectly? […]

2 Week Challenge–Day 1
Last week I made a major decision to apply to become a Mamavation Mom, and I felt the change from the depths of my soul. I am empowered by my sister’s memory, by my desire to live the full life she was denied. So, today is Mamavation Monday, and I am on day three of […]

Mamavation Mom: Campaign 11 Application Time

I pledged the Sistahood, and aside from a small break last Spring, I have been posting regularly on Mamavation Monday for nearly a […]

A New Set of Eyes
Over the last several weeks I have faced life lessons that I will likely spend the rest of my life unraveling. I am discovering things about myself at a pace that I can hardly begin to keep up with. I watched over my baby sister as the angels swept her away, and was washed with […]

Holiday Wellness
Thanksgiving has not snuck up on me exactly, I knew it was coming. It has been a deadline in my sights for a while now, and I knew exactly how close it was. I knew that I had family coming in from all over the country, and I knew I had some emotional work to […]

Look out boys, we have created a monster!!
I missed last week’s Mamavation Monday because I was all laid up trying to recuperate from my New Orleans escape. It was a fantastical weekend, and I assure you I will be writing more about it (including pics) on a day other than Mamavation Monday. For now, I have to get back to the purpose […]

Mamavation Monday-Campaign 11-Week 2
tishamarie Depression, grief, Mamavation Monday, Self Care, Weight 9 Comments
Well…I wasn’t selected to be a Mamavation Mom last Monday night, but three amazing women were. While I am happy for Lolo, Andrea, and Laura, I must admit to being temporarily swallowed up by grief. Many of you sent me uplifting messages that went un-replied, but none of those went unnoticed. I wanted to write […]
