Happy Anniversary to me and my little Raspberry. Pic no.2 was taken exactly a year ago today (apparently at my request even though I don’t remember), a few hours before I went into surgery. I didn’t know I had #coloncancer at the time. I just knew I was gonna have an #ostomybag and I didn’t want to. Pic no.1 is today - 1 year, 1 (other) emergency surgery, and 1 course of chemo later. . I was planning on saying more but all I really have to say right now is that I’m happy. Post-cancer life is harder than I imagined sure - there’s a lot of trauma to process on top of the mental illness that was already there - but at least I get a post-cancer life thanks to this little #ileostomy right here. So thanks Raspberry. You’ve made life so much better and I honestly can’t remember why I was ever afraid of you. I couldn’t be here without you 💖💖💖 #ostomylife #stomagirl #iwas26 #nevertooyoung #cancersurvivors #cancersucks

More @coloplast samples to try! This time it's the #sensuramioconcave two piece bag that I am trying. Fingers crossed for some positive results. The last time I used Coloplast, the bags didn't stick well and the filters were a real pain in my (non existent) ass (lol). But, I am always willing to try and see what other products are all about. You never know until you try! #ileostomy #ostomy #ostomybag #ulcerativecolitis #ostomate #boweldisease #coloplastcanada #sensuramio #ostomylife #stoma #nocolonstillrollin #permanentostomy #wishmeluck https://www.instagram.com/p/BwDIIr_nUGO/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=r05ux37ej474

New @coloplast samples came today! I asked for the 2-piece click drainable ostomy pouch, because two piece and drainable makes 💩 easier to deal with 😉 The materials and locking system are far different than my current appliance, but it never hurts to try new things. #coloplast #sensuramio #sensura #ostomy #ileostomy #ostomybag #nocolonstillrollin #boweldisease #ulcerativecolitis #colitis #hollisterostomy #trynewthings #ostomylife #getyourbellyout #stoma #stomalife

Sometimes the most powerful thing you can do is protect your peace.

This started as a 5 a.m. reflection—coffee reheated, hoodie on, mind humming like a radio loop.

I’ve been through cancer, trauma, ADHD, and raising a son while learning to advocate for myself in spaces that weren’t built for me.

I’ve sat in “healing circles” that felt more like pyramids. Been in rooms where silence was used to control instead of comfort.

But here’s what I know now: 💛 Peace is powerful. ✊ Power should never come at peace’s expense.

I wrote about this in my latest piece, “Peace, Power & Low Taper Fades.” It’s a love letter to healing, advocacy, and the quiet revolutions we carry within us.

Peace, Power & Low Taper Fades

A 5am reflection from a single mom with ADHD—on parenting, power, empathy, and the difference between real connection and curated ones. Beca
