Get To Know Me- a link up


Today I am linking up with the Influence Network gals, doing a little get to know you kind of thing!
Oh what is the Influence Network? Well it's an amazing network of women encouraging each other in life, blogging, business, adoption, you name it! Plus there are really great classes to take every month! Get signed up here!.

On to the link up.....

First- a picture you love of your self.

Okay, my picture isn't the best picture. It was dark and grainy, but right now I love it. After flipping through every photo I have this is the one that jumped out at me. Why? I think, no I know I needed to see it today. I needed to be reminded of this moment, what this moment felt like.  
The love and grace that filled that moment.


 Three get to know me things.
* I am beyond addicted to coffee and totally okay with it.
* I have bi-polar disorder. Yes, is might be the first time I'm admitting it on here.
*I'm terrified of turkeys, ya'll I'm serious. Really terrified. 

One thing I've learned on the Network:
That there are real friendships out there, I just have to stop being a hermit and go after them. 
So watch out ladies!


Now off to link up and read more about 
all the wonderful ladies over at the network!

come join the fun!

  3. You might be happy to know that I once ran over a turkey that (literally!) jumped out in front of my car! You should have seen the shower of feathers out my back window! I actually felt bad for the little guy.

    Bi-polar runs in my family, I don't have it but I am ver familiar with it. You are so brave to say it on here.
    And I am terrified of all birds, all of them.

  7. You know, i never really thought about, but turkeys ARE kind of scary. I've never been a huge fan of geese, either. =)


    And thank you so much for your courage in disclosing your experience with bi-polar disorder. It saddens me that we live in a world that requires courage to be honest about things like that, and I hope that you find nothing but support and understanding through the Influence Network and elsewhere.

  8. When I was little (like two) I was attacked by one, a lot. My aunt had one as a pet! (dont ask!) as for the bi-polar comment. Thank you. It didn't hit me that I wrote that until this evening, then a little shock set in. But I'm doing good.

  12. Tiffany, I'm s glad I got to meet you at Influence, and it almost didn't happen since it was the last few hours! Thanks for talking about your bi-polar, I've been thinking and talking a lot about this stuff lately. I've had depression, anxiety, and PTSD since I was a kid and I kept praying for years to be healed. Hasn't happened. This last year was so bad I almost gave up hope of ever feeling "right" again. Now I'm coming to terms with what life is going to look like and how to live it well in spite of medications, counselors, psych appointments, relapses, and fear of relapses. There are so many of us struggling secretly and afraid to say the words. I've been coming clean myself a lot more, and I'm proud of you for sharing.

  14. Also. sharing your whole story is a beautiful thing. I can't wait to (maybe) hear more about your walk through life amidst having bi-polar disorder.
