Hello! My name is Natalie. I'm the mother of four active boys and the wife of a doctor.  When I'm not traveling or spending time with my family, I'm writing!

 

More for my benefit than anything, I like to write about the depression and anxiety I've dealt with most of my life. I've been frustrated and lonely... and too afraid to seek for help, but thankfully I have some special people in my life who have loved me  and encouraged me to keep moving forward.

​

I realize I'm not the only one who struggles with these things, which is why I share my experiences here.

​

I've learned so much since making the decision to face my depression and anxiety, and I try to share as much as I can. This doesn't mean that I don't struggle with these conditions anymore, because I do. It just means that I'm trying to make choices that will keep my depression and anxiety from limiting my BEST life! It means I force myself out of my comfort zone to have fun, even when it scares me to death. It means I'm choosing to forgive and love others so I can reap the benefits of amazing relationships. It means I'm choosing to look for the good in the world, even when I'm overwhelmed by the bad.

 

And sometimes it simply means choosing to stand, because even that can be hard.

​

I'm here to show you that as evasive as it may seem, peace is possible!
