I have suffered from mild to severe anxiety for as long as I can remember, and even before I knew what anxiety even was. I have a family history of anxiety. I remember several times as a teenager driving my dad, who looked like he was having a heart attack, to the Emergency Room and…
Read moreThankful and stuff
Alright, so somehow, November has snuck up on me again. I say it every year, but time is flying by at warp speed, and it drives me a little nuts. September punched me in the throat a bit, when I remembered that this is the year I turned 39. That’s not ok. When did that…

I have some crazy talented friends in my circle of influence. One of those, my dear friend Ofelia, has been helping out designing some t-shirt ideas for my podcast, Nerdy Bitches (available on iTunes, if you have been living under a rock, or at nerdybitches.com).

Yesterday, I broke 2,000 (2,031 to be exact) hits on this blog since I started it back at the end of November 2010. I am so thrilled that people are enjoying what I have to say! I would love to hear from more of YOU!! Comment, people. You are commenting to me on Twitter and…
