Greetings and Salutations!

Welcome to my blog! My name is Shannon. I’m a 48-year-old mother of two adult daughters and a grandmother of three precious grandchildren. This blog is about my life and my mental health journey. It will be real and raw at times. There may be triggers and moments that are difficult for others to navigate, but I promise it will be genuine and authentic. If you want to continue with me throughout this blog, I will be here for comments or questions you might have on any aspect of my journey. I do ask that you refrain from negative or unhelpful comments, as these serve no purpose here. This is a place for healing. Thank you for coming, and if you stay, thank you for that as well.


As Always,

~Shannon

Then, as an adult, I had some clinically based therapy and found some of it helpful, but it was disjointed and inconsistent.
