A battle against mental illness. One day at a time.
2017 recap... I'm not really sure where to start. 2017 was one hell of a year for me. I began a truly wonderful journey in regards to my mental health. I started seeing a psychiatrist and shortly after that I began Cognitive Behaviourial Therapy. Both have already worked wonders and I look forward to continuing... Continue Reading →
Coached 5 games in 3 days. My players brought tears to my eyes many times with their great sportsmanship and unselfish play. Special Hockey has completely restored my faith in hockey. We witnessed first goals being scored and some moments I will never forget. We don't care about who is winning, because for us it's... Continue Reading →
The special needs hockey team I help coach is playing in a tournament, we leave tomorrow and will be gone for 5 days. I'm so excited because we travel as a team and we get some time outside of the rink to bond. We get to spend Christmas break participating in Canada's favourite pastime. I... Continue Reading →
Today, I conquered. I excelled and I'm damn proud of myself.

I've been at the bottom... Continue Reading →
Facebook notified me one day last week that I had some memories to look back on. I started scrolling through and then one stole my breath.

Life is about miracles. They happen all the time and consider yourself lucky when you witness one. I've been struggling since the time change and now that the cold weather is here. It's this time of year and with the holidays fast approaching...it's a recipe for a hot mess. I'm trying my best to keep... Continue Reading →
It's been a couple days since I've published a blog post. I struggled last week and by Thursday I was exhausted. Then Friday came and went, Saturday I was blessed with a migraine and spent the entire day in bed. Just like that... it's Sunday. Today, I feel like myself again. Last week I had...

I've been asked many times over the years about an individual wanting to check in on how someone is doing and they aren't sure what to say. They don't want to say the wrong thing, but don't know what the right thing to say is either. My answer is still the same, it doesn't have... Continue Reading →
I cried a lot today. I was overwhelmed and anxious. I felt my world shrinking around me. Even though my anxiety told me I couldn't get through the day. I did. I eventually stopped crying. Pulled myself together and kept going. I sat there and looked at how far I've come. And that right there,... Continue Reading →
