2023 and the new me in the middle, I hope. Forty-one and a half years old. ⛰Over the hill and lovin' it.
Hello again! It’s been a while. What can I say? Chipping away at it one moment a day, one day at a time, and time is relative. Today, I’ve been getting lost in The Smiths and feeling inspired and exited for what’s ahead. I work Tuesday through Friday now, ten-hour days getting to meet people to inspire hope and purpose.
As an Advanced Nurse Practitioner, I’ve been working for Texas’ Travis’ County’s Local Mental Health Authority, Integral Care. That’s a lot of possessives, but basically I work for the people in Central Texas. I work for the occasionally, existentially confused, psychotic mess of us, and I’m not ashamed to say, I’m one of us. Are you?

It’s Mental Health Awareness Month.💚 There’s a Month, a Day, a time to celebrate and acknowledge the essence of our humanity. Keep the celebration going. Keep saying out loud those things that keep you up at night. Keep sharing and caring. Keep at it, one day at a time because you are inspiring. You have a right to be here, just by the nature of your breath.
