Going Gray: My Color Evolution

Posted on 01/22/2018 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

As I get older, I find I crave more simplicity. I finally found my niche in my decor by using neutrals, my closet now consists of mostly earth tones, and I recently moved to a farm town outside the city I grew up in. It’s really no surprise then, that I chose to stop being … Continue reading →

My Italian Holiday, Part 1: Rome and the Vatican City

Posted on 06/11/2017 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

I feel so European calling my vacation a “holiday.” 🙂 Several weeks ago, I was blessed to partake in the trip of a lifetime to Italy. It’s a country I’ve always wanted to visit and one I’ve always felt a draw to. I’ve often felt like I could be Italian but a recent DNA test … Continue reading →

6 Month Hysterversary (Anniversary of Hysterectomy)

Posted on 05/01/2017 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

Man, once you get past the days of recovery being at the core of every action, time flies by. At times, I felt impatient for the day I would no longer have to think about my injured body before moving or making plans. That liberation is the greatest mark of improvement since I had my … Continue reading →

16 Weeks Post-Hysterectomy: Where Am I Now?

Posted on 02/10/2017 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

At this point, the weeks are starting to meld together into, well, months. It’s starting to feel like surgery was so long ago, which is not a complaint. I feel like my life is back, albeit an upgraded version. I absolutely love that I can sleep all night long without going to the bathroom. I … Continue reading →

It’s Not About Hillary Clinton Losing

Posted on 01/20/2017 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

Today has been such an emotionally-charged day. Never did I ever think I would witness such an election period and never did I think someone like Trump would become President. As I watched him take the oath, I cried. This has been the first time I’ve cried since knowing he’d be our next president. Honestly, … Continue reading →

What 3 Things Would You Want Humans to Know?

Posted on 12/31/2016 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

This morning, my mother appeared in my dream. Sometimes she’s just there and we’re doing regular family things. Sometimes she’s yelling at me. That’s a topic of dream interpretation to get into later… or never, LOL. I love when she’s in my dreams, because it’s one last shot at “seeing” her, since she passed unexpectedly … Continue reading →

8 Weeks Post-Hysterectomy: Chapter 2

Posted on 12/17/2016 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

What is it about the 8 weeks post surgery that feels like a big milestone? Honestly, nothing has really changed since 1 or even 2 weeks ago. But plenty has changed since the last time I posted my progress here, which was after 4 weeks. It feels like a major victory. More important than the … Continue reading →

Yoga Poses for Fibroids

Posted on 11/20/2016 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

This surgery journey has been no walk in the park–literally or figuratively. (But I can walk around the block now!) Rather, it’s been an enlightened stroll with baby steps. Before the surgery, once I had a proper diagnosis of my fibroid, I scaled back my exercise routine. I did this because I found I didn’t … Continue reading →

My Fibroid and Hysterectomy Journey

Posted on 11/10/2016 by Angela Conley • Leave a comment

Time is so weird. While these last 3 weeks feel like it’s been a long time, it also doesn’t. Especially since 75% of my time these weeks has been in my oversized armchair cozied up with a plush blanket, heating pad, and the TV. It’s a hard life, but someone’s gotta do it. To recap, … Continue reading →

A Surgery Action Plan for the Mind and Soul

Posted on 10/14/2016 by Angela Conley • 2 Comments

Doctors give us tons of info about how to physically prepare for a surgery–don’t eat this, drink only that, don’t wear deodorant–but they don’t tell us how to prepare mentally or emotionally. This is quite unfortunate when one addresses their health holistically. This, along with my Type-A tendencies, inspired me to create an action plan … Continue reading →
