I recently read and shared a great article about a lady who decided not to get married after accepting a marriage proposal from someone she did actually love. But knew her heart he was not supposed to be her husband. Her story and the comments I got when I shared it inspired me to share […]
Last week, I did a quick Periscope with my thoughts on perspective and said I’d write this blog because I had SO much to say about the topic. Tonight I talked to my son.. and he said that all his father does is try to give him advice. I forgave his father for forcing himself […]
This Wednesday topped my adventures with squirrels at my house. But let me tell you why I wasn’t totally freaked out when I saw a squirrel’s tail hanging from my dryer vent.

I was 15, pregnant, scared, and didn’t want to be in my mother’s house with my stepfather another day. Remember in my book the time when he got mad at me about the ironing board, and I ran away? Well, walked because I was very pregnant. Very hurt. Very confused. Very scared. After my mother […]
