giving back.

-
last summer, while struggling through the grief over losing my beautiful baby girl, i came across facesofloss.com.  this amazing website got me through some dark days. it helped me know that i wasn't alone and gave some great information and resources.  they also have a facebook page, which, although i don't participate in actively, i still follow in case i am having "one of those days".

yesterday, i noticed a post saying that the girls who run the site were looking for volunteers to act as admins to post stories, etc.  without hesitation, i sent them an email and offered to help out.  once school starts, it'll just be me & the c-man here, so i figure i'll be able to take some time and do what's needed.

they were so helpful to me when i needed it most ,that i am so thrilled to be able to pay it back to them by doing this small amount of work for them.  i hope any of you moms who may follow my blog, who have suffered from miscarriage, stillbirth or infant loss, will check it out.

i'm having a hard time lately coming up with ideas to blog about.  things are relatively easy and quiet with my life these days.  which is very unsettling for me. so today, it's not much of a post.  more of a check in.  to remind myself of the things i've gone through. the things i've done. this blog really has become a place of reflection.  i go back and read the early posts.  how naive, and silly i sounded in my 20's.  to how sad and jaded i became after the loss of my beautiful daughter.  to where i am now.  a divorced mom of two boys, in the midst of her 30's, learning to love again. life's short my friends.  love hard, laugh a lot, take in the beauty of every day, no matter how hard it is to find it sometimes.

a rotten end to the weekend...

so, i had a great weekend at home with mom and dad.. lots of laughs, and relaxing time with them and alex. i left there in my brother's car to bring it back to chester, and he was going to come to my place tonight for a visit with alex and to have supper, and switch cars with me since he had been driving mine since thursday.. then.. mother nature decided to play the cards she's been hiding all winter.. the snow started the closer i got to halifax and by the time i hit the bedford highway, things were messy.. regardless of that, adam and i flipped my stuff out of his car and into mine for me to make the rest of the trip to chester, just in case he couldn't make it down because of the snow. as i drove down the kearney lake road about to hit the highway to go home, the brake line broke in my car. i lost my brakes, on already slippery roads, and did a 180 degree turn in 3 lanes of traffic.. with a baby in the backseat. talk about scary. so, i called adam back and he came to r...

 I’ve been doing alot of thinking lately.  2020 has been an ass kicker.  I’m ready to move on.  I was scrolling Pinterest in my perpetual can’t sleep state.  I came across a “how to build social media” schedule.  Not that I need to build my profile.  I could honestly care less if people read this. This is mostly just written therapy.  Although... if you’re a reader, I’d love you to message or comment and let me know!! So. Back to the schedule.  I  going to take this. Modify it.  Make it work for me.  Then I’m going to find a groove.  On my blog. In my online presence. In my real life.  So if you know me in real life, you might learn more then you expected.  If you’re just finding me. Settle in.   I’ve decided 2021 is the year to focus on me.  ♥️
