988 - The Number You Need to Know

In July 2022, the 10-digit (difficult to remember) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline changed to 988 (much easier!) and became the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline. This is wonderful news, and yet 75% of Americans are not aware. I hadn't heard about it, so I'm part of the 75%. I decided to do a test and asked a few people in my life if they'd ever heard of 988. No one else had either, so I'm blogging about it to spread the word. What does 988 do? The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeli

What I Admit vs. What I Actually Accept

Every morning lately, I stand in my closet in my loose pajamas and stall. The jeans are there. I know they’re there. They’re tight now — and the tops that used to be blousy cling in all the wrong places.

I Wrote a Book.

I did it. I wrote a book. And I'm still a little in shock. This book is the one I looked for my entire life and never found. So I wrote it myself.
