I absolutely HATE writing a description of me. Yes, I know it's a biography to let everyone know who the real person behind the keyboard is. I just have a difficult time with bios that sound pretentious and no matter how many I write, I still feel they don't give you the real me. However, those who know me in the real world can attest to the things I'm saying here ... *sigh. Let's begin with this: I have been defying description for more than half my lifetime. I occasionally have my sanity, although my circle of friends might disagree with that; I’m a mix of opposites, random, different and unconventional. I’m a self-taught know it all and even though I can admit I really don’t know everything, I do know enough to carry on a conversation with most anyone. Some call me mouthy, I freely speak my mind…I do NOT tolerate BS. I’m a wife, Mom, Abi, Pagan, eclectic, free-thinking FeistyWitch, Priestess in training wannabe gardener, who loves to cook and loves my life!

Depression

October 21, 2022 Vickie

It seems I talk about this more than any other subject. When I have days where all I want to do is stay curled up in my blankets and keep the outside world from invading my safe place, sometimes that proves to be more difficult than you might imagine.

One Month Post Hospital Stay

July 4, 2022July 4, 2022 Vickie

It's been exactly one month since I spent 5 days in the hospital without ever having a solid diagnosis.

Yes, there… Continue reading One Month Post Hospital Stay

May 5, 2022May 5, 2022 Vickie

I absolutely HATE packing of any kind. Whether it's packing for a trip where I always take too many things cause I never know what situation I might find myself in or packing up the house to move. Or in this case the bedroom that has been my sanctuary for the last 2 years and… Continue reading Packing … is My Nemisis
