ONE YEAR SOBER!!!

Happy birthday to meeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

Today marks my one year sober-versary. 

I am beyond proud.
Haven't been this stone-cold sober since I was 12. 
For the last several years, I flirted with the notion of long-term sobriety, but I was always afraid to commit. When I jumped fully onto the wagon (with no padding), I didn't realize that I would literally undergo a complete transformation.

I an now much more in touch with source energy, my emotional guidance system, and my TRUE self.

I am in control of my life, and I make good choices that affect my family positively.
I no longer have to worry about self-made drama, exaggerated anxiety and feeling sick from too much booze.

A year ago, my voice shook when I told people I quit drinking. Today, I am happy to talk about my experiences, out loud, and non-anonymously. 

When I share my story and help others, I am really fulfilling my soul calling.

There are millions more things I can add to this, but instead of writing them here, they are going straight into my book!

I am aiming for an end of year wrap up on this project! Yeah!

To commemorate my sober birthday, I teamed up with the lovely and very funny Dawn from SoberFish.

As part of her #club365 project, I shared my journey to sobriety.

Hugs and huge glasses of sparkling water to all!!!

P.S. Huge, HUGE thanks go out to everyone I met along the way that supported my sobriety journey. Friends, family, Instagrammers, forum posters...the love and strength you provided will not be forgotten <3

 P.P.S. Kelly Osbourne just celebrated her 1 year sober-versary on August 9. I feel strangely connected to her cause of this!!

Huge milestone for Kelly Osbourne and I'm loving these braids!!! #hairgoals

      I started by reading Codepedent No More by Melody Beattie! That book was a major comfort to me. I had the same experience of feeling that my struggled had been validated and put into words. I feel like I've gotten pretty good at the codependency thing (I'm also in a much healthier relationship now....) but still struggle with anxiety and panic attacks! One day at a time.....hugs!

Get Your Sparkle Back!!!

  Oh hi! My poor little blog baby, always at the very bottom of the priority ladder. I remember when I first started S&S, I used to write these long journal-esque posts from my desk at Michael Kors (ha! F U corporate world) and it was such a nice little escape from my day. I also used to print up motivational quotes and make these beautiful collages in my notebooks. Still have a few! The good old days. So COVID has returned to Europe with a savage vengeance, and I have no idea what will become of life in the next few weeks. The Swiss government maintained a very relaxed attitude after our first lockdown eased up at the end of April, and they seem determined to avoid a second lockdown at all costs. Our cases are soaring, and things are looking pretty, pretty, pretty not good. But, let's see where this goes. Trying to take it ODAAT. There are a few points I'd like to review quickly before I get back to my 'day job', so here we go: 1. My bestie, Sally Beaton, just publ...

On Rainstorms

If you ask me to tell you about a time in my life when I felt true freedom and joy, it is this.  I am about 6 years old. It's the springtime, and one of those amazing rainstorms is coming down. The rain is literally hitting the pavement in vertical sheets, tapping turning to pounding, and then back to tapping as it lets up a little bit. I'm sitting on our big brown couch, glued to the window, watching the rain engulf my tiny residential street. The sound is hypnotic and soothing. I can smell the freshness through the screen window, where an odd drop makes its way into our house, sometimes reaching as far as my chubby arms. It's late evening, but not yet dark. We decide to go to the park, my sister and I. The lightning has stayed away, and we are only 2 houses down. We promise to run home as soon as we see flashes in the sky. We arrive to the park, already soaked through to the skin, and jump into the big, red baby swings. We're too old for them, but we still f...

Two Toddlers

I know that I am at the tail end of the 'two toddlers' phase, and will soon enter the 'one toddler and one young child' phase. But...we're going out with a bang. Seriously, I really thought my complaining about being exhausted ALL the time days were over, but then they came back with a vengeance! (And a pandemic). Having two toddlers is like this (and I'm not shaming my kids at all, they are behaving appropriately for their ages and development levels...it's just mostly totally insane, that's all): *Both kids will strip off their outfits (including diapers, clean or not) and run around the house naked. Getting them back into their clothes and diapers is really tough, cause they just think it's a funny game. This happens about 3-4 times a day these days.  SOLUTION: Just let them roam in the nude at home. Saves me struggling to get them back in clothes. *Toddler fights. The boys will go from getting along super well, to freaking out because o...
