All the in Between
My mental health is pretty darn good, although, I have had a long history of self medicating. Reach out if you are struggling.
You know when you make yourself a promise and then you make a million excuses and never do it? Same. Not today!
We have moments in our lives when everything is going so well, and then tragedy happens. It's hard to see why certain things happen. Everyone has a purpose. What is yours?
Many people have felt the shift and have embraced it. Others have felt it and were scared, confused, angered and acted accordingly and it shows. There are a lot of us here and ready. Donβt be scared. Everything happens for a reason.
Living a holistic life is not easy when you have a chronic condition/disease/illness; but it is not impossible. It takes work, research an hope!
Be a good human and always look how you can improve from unwanted feelings or situations. What are your goals/resolutions for this year?
I always congratulate myself when Iβve done a big girl thing, because we, even as adults, need to recognize growth. No matter what your situation is, addiction or mental instability, or just a shitty year- be proud of your accomplishments.

Read MoreHi again! My name is Devin, welcome to my world! I am 36 and married to my best friend of almost 7 years. That came fast! It took me until the second time around to find him. I can’t say my time was wasted before; I produced 2 amazing children. William (17) is a senior in high school; yes I know you’re doing the math, I started my journey to motherhood when I was 19 and Richie (almost 14) is in 8th grade with a miscarriage in between. Yes I am a mom to an angel baby and a rainbow baby. Lets just say motherhood isn’t all fun and games. We have had our share of chronic illness, traumas, clinical diagnosis’ (autism, ADHD, ODD). Guess what? We are doing our very best! Everyday is a new day and a new learning experience. We are all comedians in our own ways, this house is loud and always full of freckled laughter, yes my kids are covered in freckles too. A face without freckles is like a night without stars.
I have an extensive medical background. My whole family is in the medical field. Simply stated, I grew up talking about IV’s, side effects to medication, catheters and enemas. Years dedicated to EEG, EMG’s and PSG’s; I stood by the most brilliant surgeons while slicing into patient’s brains and spinal cords. My goodness, don’t get me started; I guess we know where I get my love for horror movies. I have a passion for helping people. From a young age I was a natural healer, although I never felt that push until I was no longer working in the medical field. As I've been told, my hands are electric, lol!
All the stuff in between… mental health, domestic violence, breakups, and single life are not so much fun. Maybe we have that in common. But nothing prepared me for the loss of my brother from suicide. I went down a deep hole from there with depression and self medicating with alcohol. My addiction won for a time and I ended up very sick with multiorgan failure, paralyzed and days from death.
I focused on my physical, mental, and psychological rehabilitation as well as my addiction recovery. I'm walking and talking- I don't shut up. Ever. I am smiling, not just any smiles... friggen grateful freckled smiles!
I am the founder of a sober mom’s group on Facebook, Mindful Moms Recovery Group; it’s private and I pick who gets in, so it's a safe space. I also founded Mindful Moms, Inc. a non profit that helps individuals determine their own path of recovery with freedom, independence and control of their resources.
I ditched the 10 daily meds and 4 PRN's for a holistic lifestyle! Switched to a low carb sometimes KETO diet and adopted mindfulness! With all of my spiritual healing, shit, I am healthy, stressfree, happy and so grateful. How could I not be? I was given a second chance to live. And boy am I living!
All my life I have been a crafter/designer! Any depth of a project-nothing scares me! While we are talking about projects... I have decided, as if I wasn't already a jack of all trades, to take on real estate! My my, I forgot to tell you the most delicious part of me~ I cook, and not like boring food. The concoctions I come up with are delicious and I share them all with you here and on my blog! You're welcome. Please be kind and tell all your friends where you get your ideas from, don't be rude-they might want to read my stuff too!
Thanks for sharing your energy with me, connect with me on pretty much every social media platform. Don't forget to sign up for my newsletter, I come out with new schedules for FB lives and videos every once in while.
