The weather is changing here in NY and with it my mood. I felt the fear as the cold came in. This past winter I had a bad case of depression, was it the meds, the weather, who cares. It was bad, me crying and not really doing my work.

It’s making me apprehensive… But this time around I have you.

And I need a plan because I know these are thoughts. And the weather can be lovely… and I need self-care and life isn’t rainbows, daisies, and unicorns. So Model Me, Mama…
