Dear Friends, So, I am still getting calibrated after a tough span, but I am so thrilled to be heading to Motormorphosis tomorrow! I still need to pack, but I wanted to post here first. I am so hoping to meet many of you and to see familiar faces again too. We are so absolutelyContinue reading “Motormorphosis and new merch!”

Dear Friends, Well. I thought I was through a rough patch, but that was a false glimmer of hope. It was another several days of restless wandering and very little sleep. But now I have felt more grounded for a few days, so I will tempt fate and declare that I am feeling good again!Continue reading “Hi again!”

Dear Friends, Well, I am through another “off” spell. It wasn’t awful in that I wasn’t outwardly dysregulated, but it was still tough. I was calmly restless, which is as strange as it sounds!

It made me think of those days in specialContinue reading “Another Update”

Dear Friends, It has been far too gloomy and gray in San Diego lately. I am so ready for baking hot summer! But all the same, I have felt so hopeful in my heart. After the last round of dysregulation, I have come back more strong and resilient. And I am so excited for thingsContinue reading “Gloomy Days but Sunny in my Heart”

Dear Friends, As always, and as I knew but had a hard time remembering, the dysregulation storm has passed. The river floods and it recedes. There are tides and seasons. I felt so low, so discouraged, so very frustrated that my hard work to strengthen my regulation seemed in vain. But now I can moreContinue reading “And it recedes”
