It's a May kinda day + Happy Mother's Day!








Hello Summer! 
Normally, it's summer all year round here in Florida 
but actual summer heat has hit and lets say I'm not too thrilled.
I took some time to reorganize my room this week. Honestly, I haven't done anything to my room since we moved in about 15+ years ago now. So this has been quite the excitement for me. It was much needed to say the least. I hung up my tapestry from India, my grandpa's old awards and got out the knit blanket to add a little fun to my room. Here are a few snaps of what has been added:

In other news, I've been doing really poorly with anxiety and depression recently. For whatever reason, my anxiety and panic attacks kicked up again and now I'm struggling to handle it. My doctor prescribed anti-depressant for me. I've been so adamant to not take medications. I really don't want the nasty side effects and have to rely on them for the rest of my life.

Luckily, I got back on herbal meds. They're rather on the expensive side but my health is worth the investment. The lady at the whole foods store recommended l-theanine (found in green tea and is a calming effect for anxiety/stress), l-tyrosine (for depression/give you a boost of energy) and 5-htp. After our encounter she let me know she struggles as well with the same issues. "Don't give up" she told me then proceeded to embrace me. I guess only those who struggle with these issues truly understand the damaging effects of anxiety and depression, so it touched my heart that she reassured me I'm not alone.

Then on Monday, I took a little day trip to the middle of no where. Literally, it was in this old native American-esque town and I got no cell phone reception. I always go by here about every month and I've fallen in love with the historic town and homes. My favorite phone is pictured below. It's a faded coral house with cactus and other desert plants. There is some sort of outside sun decor that just makes me fall in love with this home even more.

Enjoy the photos!
