UPDATE: We are headed HOME! ❤️🙌

Castden is still more exhausted than what seems humanly possible 😴, but thankfully all of his labs are looking good so far. His mono test was negative, but they did send it off for culture just to be thorough.

His liver biopsy is scheduled for August 31st, so we’ll take the good news for today, keep a close eye on him, and tackle the next step when we get there. One day at a time in the transplant world. ❤️

Thank you SO much to everyone who prayed, texted, called, checked in, and loved on us today. I may not have responded to everyone, but I saw you and appreciated every single one. 🫶

And please don’t worry too much about him… the child was apparently well enough to make sure he got his priorities straight and ordered sushi AND tofu before we left. 😂🍣

Because nothing says “I’ve spent the day at the hospital” quite like requesting sushi on the way out.

Home we go. ❤️

Well… today was supposed to be my day off to spend with my kids before school starts.

Castden’s transplanted liver apparently did not check my calendar. 🙃😂

So, here we are—back at the hospital, because after 15 years of being a transplant mom, I should really know better than to make plans with confidence.

If you’ve called, emailed, left a voicemail, or tried to reach Root Awakening today, I promise I haven’t disappeared! I’ll respond to everyone as soon as I’m able. Today just unexpectedly turned into a Mom First, Business Owner Second kind of day.

Thank you for being patient with me while Castden continues his lifelong tradition of keeping his mother humble, slightly anxious, and very familiar with hospital parking. 😂❤️

Prayers and good vibes for my favorite transplant kid are always appreciated. 🫶

Sunday reminder:

You still have time to get your life together before Monday.

Will you?

Probably not.

Will I?

Also probably not. 😂

But I WILL drink some caffeine, move things from one side of the house to the other, call it cleaning, and mentally prepare myself for another week of appointments, kids, responsibilities, and pretending I know what’s going on.

✨ Thriving. ✨

Happy Sunday, friends. 😂

Domestic violence doesn’t always leave bruises.

Sometimes it looks like manipulation. Isolation. Intimidation. Gaslighting. Financial control. Constant criticism. Threats. Monitoring your every move. Making someone feel afraid to speak, disagree, or leave.

Abuse is about power and control—not just physical violence.

One of the most dangerous misconceptions is believing that someone’s profession, reputation, or public image makes them incapable of being abusive. Abuse can happen in any home, at any income level, and in any profession.

If someone you love seems to be changing, withdrawing from friends and family, constantly apologizing, second-guessing themselves, or living in fear of upsetting their partner, don’t dismiss it. They may need support more than judgment.

If you’re experiencing abuse, know that you are not alone. Create a safety plan. Confide in someone you trust. Keep important documents and emergency contacts accessible. If it’s safe to do so, document concerning behavior. Leaving an abusive relationship is often the most dangerous time, so seek support and make a plan whenever possible.

The people who need protection aren’t always who society expects. Listen without judgment. Believe survivors. Support them without pressure. Sometimes the greatest act of protection is simply helping someone know they have a safe place to turn.

Everyone deserves a relationship built on respect, trust, and safety.

🇺🇸 Happy Fourth of July from Root Awakening! 🎆

A friendly holiday PSA… 😅

If your brain suddenly remembers at 9:47 PM on July 2nd that you only have one pill left and sends in a refill request… that’s some bold timing. 😂

Our office will be closed Friday, July 3rd, through Sunday, July 5th. If you’re already scheduled, I’ll still see you as planned, but otherwise I may or may not be answering voicemails and refill requests while attempting to convince myself that I’m actually know how to relax. 😉

Remember… the only thing that should be blowing up this weekend is the fireworks—not your mood because you forgot to request your psychiatric medication refill. 🎇🧠💊

Future You will be very grateful if Present You takes 30 seconds to check those medication bottles before the holiday begins. ❤️

Have a safe, fun, and memorable Fourth of July weekend! Enjoy your family, the food, the fireworks… and maybe keep all ten fingers while you’re at it. 😅🇺🇸

We’ll be back in the office on Monday.

Today, we celebrate the fathers, stepfathers, grandfathers, bonus dads, father figures, and the men who show up day after day with love, guidance, patience, and strength.

Fatherhood isn’t measured by perfection. It’s found in the early mornings, the late nights, the sacrifices no one sees, the lessons taught through actions, and the unwavering presence that helps shape a child’s world.

At Root Awakening LLC, we recognize that fathers carry their own challenges, worries, and burdens while often putting the needs of others first. Today is a reminder that your mental health matters too. It’s okay to rest. It’s okay to ask for support. It’s okay to take care of yourself while taking care of those you love.

To the dads who are thriving, struggling, healing, grieving, learning, and growing—we see you.

Happy Father’s Day to all the incredible fathers and father figures in our community. Thank you for the impact you make every single day. 💙

Today’s act of self-care?

Putting my phone on Do Not Disturb. 😅

As someone who spends most days helping others, answering calls, returning messages, managing a business, and showing up for my family and community, I sometimes forget that I deserve a little peace too.

The world did not end.
The office did not catch on fire.
Nobody filed a missing person report.

What did happen was I got a few uninterrupted moments to breathe, think, and recharge.

A gentle reminder that you do not have to be accessible 24/7 to be a good person, parent, friend, provider, or business owner.

Protecting your peace is not selfish. It’s necessary. 💜

Now if you’ll excuse me, my phone and I are currently not speaking. 😂

💕 A Personal Note 💕

Today marks two years since we lost my cousin, Allen.

As I sat here announcing the winner of our Community Hero Giveaway, I couldn’t help but smile when the wheel landed on Doug Bixenman.

Maybe it’s coincidence. Maybe it’s simply timing. But today, it felt like a little reminder that the people we love never truly leave us. Their impact lives on through the memories they created, the lives they touched, and the lessons they left behind.

This giveaway was created to recognize the good people in our community—the ones who quietly make a difference in the lives of others. On a day that is especially meaningful to my family, it feels fitting to be celebrating kindness, service, and community.

Allen is missed every day, but especially today. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who participated, shared nominations, and helped shine a light on the incredible people who make Salisbury such a special place.

And congratulations again to Doug. 🎉💚

Sometimes life has a way of reminding us that love, memories, and the people we’ve lost are never very far away.
