Guess who’s back, back again. Debbie’s back, tell a friend…
Wow, it has been since October of last year since I have written a post! And the time before that was January. Crazy to think that life can just stop you in its tracks and put things on hold that you didn’t even intend to put on hold! I’ve kept up with social media, like IG, and recently started posting on TikTok, but I have totally neglected my blog. The one thing that brought me in to this content creation world in the first place!
If you are still here, I thank you. And if you’re new, well, I hope to keep up with this again and bring you some good and interesting reads…
So much has gone on since my last posts. Pretty much the reason for the lack of writing. I’ll explain.
About 6 months after I was diagnosed with breast cancer, my dad got sick. That was April of 2023. We spent the next 10 months in and out (but more in) the hospital with him. We lost him in February of 2024.
My mother, as you may or may not know, was battling her own illness, being diagnosed with kidney cancer back in 2010. She was stable until she wasn’t. After my dad died, it was really hard for her. We spent the majority of our time with her so she wasn’t alone. In November of 2024, we were told her oral chemotherapy was no longer working. In February of 2025, just 4 months after that news, we lost her.
To say life over the last few years has been awful is an understatement. I’ve not only had to figure out who I am post diagnosis/surgery/treatment, but now have to figure out who I am without parents.
Its hard. Like really hard. Its lonely. Even though I have an amazing support system. So now we just go with the flow, take things day by day, because really, thats all I can do.
And I’m hoping that coming back on here, coming back to sharing things I love like wellness, recipes, life updates, will help me catch a glimpse of me and who I am now and who I want to become.
One thing hasn’t changed. That is my love for all things health and wellness, and thats exactly what this blog is going to continue to be.
Though I wonder if I should change the name… Me, Myself and Kids stemmed back in 2012 when I wrote my first post. At the time it was about parenting and sharing my expereinces with other moms who were going through the same thing. As you can tell from the past number of posts over the years, the focus is no longer my kids, and more so on me and the life I want to live. So tell me, do I change the name or keep it original and just keep going? I’d love your perspective so comment below!
Thank you again for sticking around…lets do this dang thing!!
