As 2019 closes, I am grateful to be spending time with my beloveds. I am grateful that I have family and friends who understand that working through chronic migraines can lead to frustration and anxiety. I am grateful to the inventors of Ativan for the quick relief of anxiety attacks that hit suddenly when I…

In 2020, I am letting go of the pain of 2019 and embracing the beauty of the new year. In 2020, I am taking the lessons learned in 2019 and building on them for the new year. In 2020, I am no longer waiting for the other shoe to drop, and instead watching for the…

Every year, at least once (usually at least 3 or 4 times) I post a gushy, I love you post about this woman. January 2nd is always… but this year, she has crossed the international date line, and while it is Jan 1st in Vancouver, it is Jan 2nd in India, so this is not…

It has been 12 years. 12 whole years since you first lit up my life. 12 whole years since you came into this world with the biggest eyes that I have ever seen. 12 years of funny, goofy, silly, intuitive, emotive, expressive, glittery, sparkly, sweet, sassy, sarcastic, and brilliant you. 12 years of not…

There is something about seeing this reminder in my calendar that both encourages me and intimidates me. It blocks off time in my calendar to dedicate to myself, which encourages me and reminds me throughout the day that I have a plan and have made a promise to myself. It also intimidates me and sets…

We have a new toy. Needless to say they both have very different ways of using this thing. She is working on a Tik Tok trend and trying to improve her flexibility. He is Spider-Man. Par for the Desautels house – 2 kids, one toy, millions of activities by 2 very different imaginations. #stretchband #spiderman…

Day 4 – gotta love the crazy hair. Did I feel like it today? Nope. But that not the point of accountability. The point of accountability is to do it anyway. #fitlifestylelosetheboozeandmove #100daystoslay #yoga #crazyhairdontcare #frizzfordays #frizz #selfiesaturday #bw #day4 #2020 #accountabilitycoach #naccfitness #believeinyourselfalways #january2020 #funnyfaces😜 #funnyface #womensupportingwomen #empoweredwomenempowerwomen #kalidesautelsreads
