My Cat Had Gastrointestinal Lymphoma: Saying Goodbye to Adah

On June 6, 2026, I lost my cat Adah. I'm still in shock, still crying on and off, and honestly still reaching for her out of habit. She was 8 years old and had been by my side for 7 of them. Writing this is hard, but I know it's something I need to do, because if you're searching for information about feline gastrointestinal lymphoma or trying to figure out what comes next after losing your cat, I want you to know you're not alone. I've been right where you are. Adah wasn't just a cat to me; she was like a daughter. She was the one who helped me survive losing my Maltese dog back in February 2019. I got her at the end of March that same year. She was actually my first cat ever. And somehow, without me even realizing it, she became the center of my world. I had no idea that choosing her would be one of the best decisions of my life or that letting her go would be one of the hardest. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🐱 Feline GI lymphoma is the most common c...

Eli Shepherd's Faith Through the Storm: Bold, Timely, and Edgy

Image
I recently received a copy of Faith Through the Storm: Nothing Can Stop What's Coming by Eli Shepherd for free in exchange for an honest review.  Now, I want to be upfront with you right from the start: before I even finished going through it, the company I worked with on this reached out to give me a heads up that there's some language in this book that they weren't previously aware of. They apologized, left it totally up to me whether I wanted to continue or share it, and honestly, I appreciated the transparency. That's not something every company does, and it went a long way with me. So where do I land on it? I don't personally mind a little rough language in a book, and I'm still sharing my review because I think a lot of you can benefit from knowing what's inside. But I also think it's fair to mention it upfront so you can make your own call, especially if you're particularly careful about what you read. With that out of the way, let me tell ...

Vampire Diaries Rewatch: The Good, Bad, & Plot Holes

Image
I'm currently sitting at home, trying to ignore the fact that I have a ton of bills piling up, and distracting myself with Season 4 of The Vampire Diaries . My husband and I just celebrated our 20th anniversary back in November, and he's been a good sport about me hogging the TV. Although, I think even he is getting invested in the drama, even if he won't admit it. I’m surrounded by my zoo of pets, and it's chaotic here, but honestly, it’s nothing compared to the chaos in Mystic Falls. Since I am rewatching this in my 40s, I am noticing so many things that went right over my head years ago. I have a lot of feelings, and most of them are frustration. When I watched this show originally, I just went along for the ride. Now? I have questions. I have complaints. And I seriously need to talk about how the writers treated some of my favorite characters. It's a mix of nostalgia and pure annoyance, and I can't look away. ⚡ Key Takeaways 🧔 Alaric ...
