Merry Christmas. Happy New Year.

By the overwhelming grace of God, I managed to get a Christmas card made this year. And while even the little things these days require more energy than usual, I'm so thankful that I did. Because it's important to try to return to normal life and routine.

Anxiety is a scary beast. It all too often robs me of joy. But like I've mentioned before, I'm working very hard to get better. And I have a lot of people that I get to see in the coming weeks that will certainly help with the healing.

A special thank you to those that have reached out with love and prayers. It's not easy to "publicly" admit to depression, OCD and health anxiety...but when you have a community of such supportive people it really makes it that much easier to be open and honest. Plus, I hope it lessens the stigma and maybe even puts a familiar face to a reality that so many people wake up to every day.

May God bless you all this holiday season.
