What an amazing group of women you all seem to be!! I am feeling so honored and so blessed to be among you and be walking this journey with you Sistas!
Hello Again!! I am RE-introducing myself! I am Lis. 50+ on the East Coast. Disabled Grandma. A lifetime community activist. Currently writing my memoir, while at the same time putting together a 2nd book that will feature a blend of poetry and some of my blog entries. Haven’t quite figured out yet how that is gonna meld together…but I know I want it to. Happily re-finding my voice and my fuel after a few years of dealing with some underlying depression that had me wanting to just sort of isolate.
I’m “trying” to really be much more intentional in my acts of self love and self care. I set up a little corner in my room as a spot that was going to be like MY lil space, with art, music, journal, laptop, etc.. but I’ve allowed it to be taken over and disorganized and cluttered. So, I’m committing to cleaning it up tomorrow and reclaiming it. Part of my self care and self love is getting back to blogging and doing a podcast
Hello Everyone!! My name is Lisa. I’m a single 53 y/o who lives with my 21 year old daughter’who is living with a diagnosis of severe bipolar and her 2 toddler sons, 4 and 3, who I have had guardianship of and raised since birth. Although she is currently in a great space and has been using the quarantine as a time to finally learn to parent and bond with the boys.
I have had my own relationship with mental illness…being diagnosed with bipolar and ptsd. I have been involved with therapy since childhood, after trauma at a young age. Ì used to work as an outreach worker and community educator. My health issues have caused me to need to stop working, but I try to remain active in the community as much as I can.
