I reached my 90 day AF goal yesterday. This past 90 days has been eye opening, to say the least. Here's my take on it: Month 1 - The first couple weeks were tough. Then those 'pink clouds' you hear about kicked in and everything was AMAZING. I had so much energy and was incredibly …
Today & tomorrow is Samhain, which is a celebration of the end of the harvest and the start of the coldest half of the year. This transition celebrates the beginning of spiritual new year for Pagans and is a time to honour our ancestors. A time to reflect on the past year, and prepare for …
I have never liked the word 'booze'. It makes me bristle and also stirs up a bit of defensiveness. I remember a time a friend casually commented about another friend and I picking up wine for dinner with 'you guys like your booze!' I got defensive, because enjoying a glass or two of wine doesn't …
Have you ever lied to your doctor about how much you drink? I’ve been known to stretch the truth a time or two. As in “a couple glasses of wine” being ‘weekly’ vs the actual ‘not quite daily, but sometimes’. Truth be told, I have actually thought about not taking something I’ve been prescribed because …
I was catching up with a friend last night that I haven’t spoken to in a few months. He said that I was “eerily calm”. I think I’ve just been learning how to roll with the punches a bit more. Let’s be real...I still get worked up about things...I definitely have my moments of frustration …

Last night the girls were getting together and the choices of venue were: wander the barrio till we found an terrace that had space...a restaurant that had wine …
For the first few weeks...almost the first month, I felt amAZEing! I was perky and cheerful and felt like I could take on the world. But now, 1 month and 3 days in... (thud). I feel like I’ve hit the pavement. This past work week has been a heavy-duty one. And because I am the …
I almost just gave up on this entire thing yesterday. But I didn’t. Today is day 20 and I’ve almost made it through the holiday. At home it was relatively easy to not open the wine. But here, with friends that are drinking, it’s harder. Lunch at a cute little restaurant... I was the only …
I use an app, called The Pattern, and sometimes it’s like it’s in my head - for real! It’s based on your birth date, and is more in-depth than ‘newspaper column astrology’....and sometimes it’s messages about my personality are eerily accurate. Anyway...it’s started asking questions; and the question I woke up to this morning was …
