2020 Intro


Celebrating 1 month of alcohol sobriety. I'm going to be honest  2020 started off rough for me due to mental illness. I took a trip to the ocean to clear my head and literally was in tears most of the time. I have not nor will I ever take prescription meds for this illness so I just need to journey on like I have all my life with bi/polar & manic depressive disorder. My in-home tribe has been kind, loving, and embraceing. This is nothing new for then anyways this has been their normal all of their life with me as mother and wife. I no longer have the crutch of alcohol to lean on which really wasn't lifting me up in life anyways. I want to be clear and present for every situation and for everybody I come across in my life to experience the true authentic me.... No matter how quiet or how loud that maybe. The glory of this all is I'M ALIVE. I love my family and myself enough to be this ❤️

  1. I think the ocean is just what you needed, Holly. Your family is wonderful for being so understanding during this difficult time in your life. Sometimes things come at us all at once, and we feel that we are taking on things all by ourselves in life. But know this.....your blog friend cares about you so much. Happy New Year, and I hope the new year brings you all the goodness you deserve, Holly.

    1. Oh, and this quote really hit home for me, cause Nel wants me to move down south, and everything is up in the air now and kind of overwhelming. Sometimes I wish I was where I'm supposed to be, but your quote tells me to enjoy the journey. Thank you for this, Holly. : )
