Make up free selfie from my new house. Things are slowly coming along! My bedroom and bathroom are set up, now to work on the kitchen, living areas, and dining room.

I am so happy!!!

I watched my cat push a box aside and then open a door with his paw.

Not sure whether to be impressed or concerned. 🤣

Dancing around my new house while I put things away. 💃

So happy!!!

Still moving in things to my new house. It’s going well!

Making sure to take frequent Simpsons breaks. 😂

Bought a robot vacuum cleaner. Named him Spock!

I got to meet the next door neighbor’s doggies. They are so cute. 🥰

Adorable poodles!

Stunning! I love it. 😻

Went to my new house today. The backyard is huge!!!

Can’t wait to move in on Saturday. 🥰

Yes of course! 🥰

Signed a contract with a publisher for a new book tonight!!!

Can’t wait to share more details soon. For now, though…

I HAVE A BOOK DEAL! 😊

Eating pad Thai for lunch and waiting to get the keys for my new house from my lawyer!

Today is the closing date so I’m officially a homeowner. 🥰

A smile just for you.

Yes, YOU!

Take care. 🤗

Found a Return of the Jedi shirt today. Had to buy it!

Meeting with the real estate lawyer tomorrow to sign documents.

I get the keys to my new house on Wednesday.

Then Saturday, the movers are coming to help me with boxes. I’ll be officially moved in this weekend.

Can’t wait!!!

In 2023, my grandpa died. I had a mental breakdown.

24/7 panic attacks. Depression. Hallucinations. Dizziness. Prozac got me out of it, but I really thought my life was over.

I try to make the most out of every day now. Do what makes me happy. Life is short and precious. ♥️

I tell my cats I love them every day.

I know they don’t understand, but just in case, I want them to know it. ♥️

Happy Sunday, friends!

Just wanted to say: you are not a burden.
You are not a problem.
You are not a mistake.

You are so, so loved. Your life has immense value. ♥️

Take care!

If you looked at me, you wouldn’t know it, but:

I struggle with panic attacks and anxiety, depression, OCD, and intrusive thoughts. Some days feel like torture.

Just wanted to say: YOU ARE NOT ALONE. ♥️

Every time I have an anxiety attack or a depression episode, it’s hard, but I tell myself:

This won’t last forever.
The feeling is temporary.
You got through it before, and you’ll get through it again.

I wanted to tell YOU the same thing! Take care. 🤗

My great uncle Sonny (real name Donald Kritsch) lived to be 93.

He was left by his wife 6 months after the wedding.
Awful panic attacks and depression all his life.
Heart and health problems.

Yet he was still happy and kind, leading to his nickname of Sonny.

He was badass.

My hands shook with anxiety all day, BUT I still managed to paint my nails.

To quote Stewie Griffin: VICTORY IS MINE!

Finally sat down to do some writing on my laptop.

The S key on my keyboard came off. 😩

Guess I’ll have to write a whole novel without the letter S!

It’s nice enough to open my windows today. The birds are chirping and the sun is bright.

It’s going to be a fabulous day!!!

It’s really hard to live with an anxiety disorder.

Everything feels heavy, like the end of the world. Some nights are unbearable.

I am so thankful to have this kind space we’ve created. To my followers: THANK YOU! ♥️

All this talk of Artemis II has me wanting to play Starfield again. So here I am!

New game. 💫

I’ve got not one but TWO book covers in my email today. 👀

One cover for my romance, another for my teen mystery.

Can’t wait to show everyone!

I’ve had panic attacks since I was a kid.

I was bullied at school—stabbed with scissors and pushed down stairs.

Sexually assaulted by my ex boyfriend.

But I’m still here. Still fighting. And so are you.

Please, keep going. ♥️

Feeling kind of sad and run down today. Will be ordering burritos, playing video games, and trying to feel better. ❤️‍🩹

Wrote my new novel for an hour tonight.

In that time, I felt no anxiety or panic attacks.

It was just me and the page. Me and my imagination, hyper-focused on my story. I was free for a little while.

That’s the power of creativity. ♥️

Bringing this video back for anxiety/panic attack awareness.

Remember: you are never alone!
