One thing I’ve concluded on my journey is that when one is drowning they don’t know who else is drowning. When one is overwhelmed with grief, depression, sadness, or their stuff they never look around to see who else is drowning. Our emotional drowning is much like our physical drowning. If we are drowning orContinue reading “Who Is Drowning?”

F Is For Dysfunctional Family
Here’s a snippet from my memoir that I am working on diligently. It’s a painful process but it will get done and it will be a tell all.
🚩 What Is The Silent Treatment🚩
I’m on a roll with narcissists lately because I’ve been exposed recently and it’s reminded me of my former life. I think the biggest trait that I’ve seen in my narcissists is the silent treatment. When I was a child I saw my mother give multiple people the silent treatment. She wouldn’t talk to themContinue reading “🚩 What Is The Silent Treatment🚩”
🚩 What Is A Narcissist? 🚩
I’ve learned so many don’t know what a narcissist is and therefore cannot identify the characteristics of one. I find this common, especially in older generations. Being a narcissist is different than having narcissism. According to my shrink, we all have a little narcissism in us. Selfies are a great example. Showing new houses, cars,Continue reading “🚩 What Is A Narcissist? 🚩”
🚩 Like Running On A Hamster Wheel 🚩
Since I’ve been on my path, I’ve limited my time and energy with people. See when you are healing, you can’t just expose yourself to all environments. You must rest, take care of yourself, it doesn’t matter if it’s physical or mental, limiting contact with people is necessary so you don’t get reinfected. The minuteContinue reading “🚩 Like Running On A Hamster Wheel 🚩”

I drove back to Nashville, that drives was the longest, saddest drive of my life. As you have read in my blog, my mother was a narcissist. I knowContinue reading “Here’s To Mom”
What is Blessed?
I hope all that celebrate Thanksgiving had a happy one. I did some traveling amongst friends in my hometown. One of my stops was seeing an old friend from high school. Her young granddaughter who she raises was right up in our adult conversation. As my friend described her granddaughter’s multiple foot surgeries due toContinue reading “What is Blessed?”
The Thankful Game
I know throughout every storm I’ve ridden out, every valley that I’ve crossed, and every season I’ve survived, it’s because I try to stay thankful for my haves in life. If you are thankful for the haves and stop worrying about the have nots, the quality of your life will change for the better. It’sContinue reading “The Thankful Game”
Narcissists Are Church Members
I watched the 20/20 Special the other night with Diane Sawyer interviewing the young women from the House of Horrors. You may recall the couple in California that had 13 children and had them chained, locked up, starving for decades? The parents got life in prison which is still not enough punishment in my opinion.Continue reading “Narcissists Are Church Members”
