Awakening found me this morning in one those rarest of dreams. A nightmarish dream that I wanted to remain in. As with many dreams, it was all over the map. It was the spiders that turned the dream into a nightmare. Ugh, creepy crawlies!! I hate them. And I know what you are thinking. What…

Lyrics in my mind
When I saw today’s prompt, I thought, I’d write a piece about synchronizing my sleep. How I’ve been sleeping better which I have. And so on and so forth.

New Priorities
The solstice was just a couple of days ago. I took the time to check in with where I am with my goals and resolutions for the year. I’ve made some progress but I also realized that more than anything else, I really need to work on self care. My sleep sucks. I am consistently…

Self care matters: Enough! (aka Insomnia Diaries) Day 7
Yesterday evening after I finally gave myself permission to relax for the rest of the day, I decided to take a nice long hot bath, read a book while sipping on some wine. (Side note: Why is it we feel that we have to be super pruductive all the time??) But first I needed to feed…
