No Options Left! The screams of terror, fear and pain fill the house. No, we are not watching a horror movie; it seems we are living it. Logan rushes to close the bedroom […]

This is a post I put on Facebook, but I thought I would share it on my blog as well:

To say that the last few days have been anything but wonderful, would be an understatement. Nothing as changed in my life that would trigger a flare up of my anxiety and depression. It just happens, I have no […]

It’s an early, Fall morning and I just got Logan off to school. I walk in the house, after coming back from Logan’s bus stop, and there’s not a sound, total deading silence. Lisa and Lauren are still sleeping, […]

Night falls, day breaks; what will this day bring? Can I do this again? My strength is depleting , but life requires so much endurance and I wonder where does my strength come from? As a human being we have a […]

Daddy’s writing again, he must have something big on his mind (He calls it getting inspired). Mommy, Daddy and Bruddy(Logan) are my biggest fans. They want the absolute best for me, but you see I have Spastic Q […]

Have you ever felt beaten down; well I feel beaten down today. Ever since our child came into the world, we’ve been like any other parent and want nothing but the best for her. But that best is so obstructed by so […]

I cannot stop […]

Early mornings and I don’t agree, my brain is in a fog and my body just doesn’t want to move. The clock alarms at five-thirty am, but I just went to sleep, but I better get my butt out of bed. Today we have to go […]

And That's Suppose To Be Okay? Some well meaning people say, “It will get easier with time”, and I thank them because I know they mean well. Will we ever grow to accept Cerebral Palsy […]

Mental illness, like any other illness, brings with it many changes and things that we have to cope with on a day to day basis. We have to take these changes and learn to live with them and not allow them to […]

I guess Lauren as hit another bump in the road, there’s been plenty. From the time she was diagnosed , at age one, with Cerebral Palsy, there has been one bump right after the other. Life as certainly not been […]

Most people probably don’t give “IT” a second thought. Whether they do or don’t, doesn’t change the fact that “IT” exist. Ignoring “IT” won’t make “IT” go away. “IT” indirectly affects all Canadians at some time […]

I remember getting to a point in my illness when I felt I had tried ‘everything’ and I still wasn’t better. I had done months of therapy, counselling, I had tried every antidepressant, anti psychotic, every […]

My pen doesn’t want to move anymore, like it’s stuck in quicksand. It just stays there, nestled in my hand. I look at it and wonder, what is it you want to say? It starts to move, picks up momentum and we’re off! […]

It seems like forever since I have written a blog about me. I sat down in my office, put the white, blank paper in front of me, equipped myself with my weapon; the pen. And stared blankly out the window in front […]

It’s summer; warm refreshing days, long evenings, free time to play, children running, jumping, skipping, swimming. Enjoying all that life has to offer with no expectations, just pure freedom.  And for children […]

I know sometimes it seems like my blog is all about my own illness and sometimes that’s probably true because I feel I can talk about myself and it doesn’t bother me too much. I try desperately to update and fill […]

I feel guilty, guilty that I feel sad, empty, useless, lost…. I could go on and on. When will this ever end? Will my tears ever stop from flowing? I’m usually the one trying to encourage someone else through […]
