We all know them – and most of us have at least one in our lives, if not more. The snooty relative that watches from a distance, with a sneer. They’re quick to comment when anything doesn’t go as you planned, but are silent when you succeed. The fake friend who’s quick to laugh when… Continue reading How to Deal With Toxic Family + Friends

This Friday is no longer brought to you by a flare! I’m feeling so much better. I woke up yesterday morning without that usual ache, the weather pattern around here is finally calming down, and I’m 99% sure I’m officially on the mend. After last weeks er visit, I’m grateful I got to recover at… Continue reading Stumbly Feelings
