Keeping with the writing theme today, on August 9th, I celebrated my write-a-versary. What is that? That day had been one year since I started keeping a journal again. I’ve gone through 13 journals in that time and am on number 14, as pictured above. I write enough that it takes between 2-3 weeks…
This is the first guest post I’ve published on my blog and I’m proud to feature a great blog and post by Dangerously Normal Spoonie, aka Karley! Karley says: “My name is Karley.

Day 10: What little things make your life easier? Little things making my life easier? Like having a dishwasher? The existence of Amazon, since I buy everything online so I don’t have to leave my house? I’m not too sure any of these things are “little,” but these are the things that make my…
Day 2: How have these illnesses affected your life? Ha. Ha. Ha. Shortest blog post ever. Rather than rehash everything again, I can’t say anything better than I already have. So click away.
