Hi friends! Thanks for stopping by—I’m so glad you’re here! 😁
Starting out leaving this link here, in light of tWitch’s suicide (Pops and I used to watch DWTS and loved Allison and tWitch together ❤️):

Talking about my suicidal thoughts has saved and continues to save my life, whether with Kristin and the suicide hotline back in the day, or now, in therapy. I always thought the “goal” (lol) was to never have a suicidal thought again, but that’s not realistic. It’s more so learning (over and over again…) to recognize the thoughts for what they are—fleeting, changeable, and untrue.
…And also learning that the antidote to these feelings is connection, not isolation. No matter what your brain is telling you, you are not a burden. (I say that as someone who struggles to internalize all of this as well!) You are loved. 💖💖
Well, there is no way to transition from that, so just TGIF and here are some sparkly snapshots from the week:
I feel like I’ve just been soaking in the Christmas spirit, honestly. Pretty lights, Hallmark movies, and a cat ready to be wrapped! 😂 Though time has seemingly gone into warp speed since Thanksgiving, I’m glad I’ve been able to slow down a bit this week and actually enjoy the season.
A random Marshall’s find that pairs well with my Christmas donut blanket! 😂
Working in a winter wonderland!
Just watching An Unexpected Christmas on repeat…
PETS PLS
I got really cute stickers for my Christmas cards, and now that they’ve been sent, I’m using up the stickers that I would never ever send to anyone in my planner. Such as:
In flu season/covid times?! No, thank you!! 🙅🏼♀️🚫❌
Lastly, a splash of Barbiecore for a dentist appointment on an incredibly dreary day:
