Pardon me, I think you might be on fire...

Crazy pill count:
AM 10 Adderall, 5 Zyprexa, .5 Ativan
afternoon 10 Adderall, .5 Ativan
PM 5 Zyprexa, .5 Ativan

The hubs and I went camping this past weekend.
I used our campfire to burn words.

To let go.
To clear ground.
To catch fire and start over.
Change is good...


I tossed my suicide note from a few weeks ago into the flames with my marshmallow sticky fingers.


I'm so ridiculously grateful for so many things and so many people that helped me through the recent darkness. I promised you the darkness wouldn't last forever. And it didn't.

This dark suicide note literally turned into light...

A friend recently told me, "Please be the woman who asks for support when your own strength disappears." I am learning to be that woman. If you are not yet, I hope you are learning to be too.

Ask for support when you need it.
Catch fire.
Clear ground.
Let go.
And by all means, make some s'mores.

Until next time...

  1. I'm glad you got some light out of those dark words.
    I hope that you will continue to keep learning and also teaching the rest of us out here... Your words of wisdom are both beautiful, difficult and true!
    I'm trying to learn, though the asking is proving harder than before this time.
    Take care,

    1. I read your blog and am so very sorry to hear you are having a difficult time. I am here listening and reading. I am here to help if you need it. Even if it is picking up the phone and scheduling a doctor's appointment for you. I will do that if you need it. Message me if you like. The darkness can pass. I see that you are reaching out. Keep reaching out. This world needs you.

  2. So glad the light has found you again, Brave B. We crazy peeps are kinda like phoenix's, huh ? Go through the fire and come out the other side to shine again. And knowing we are flying in a flock helps us see the light too, I think.
    Light and love to you !
