I failed yesterday. Life threw its chaos at me, and I didn’t manage to share my Throwback Thursday post. But here it is, a day late, and oh, how it pulls at my heartstrings. Written in 2017, revisiting it fills me with a bittersweet ache for the woman I once was. On the surface, I… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (on a Friday!): Warpaint (1/10/2017)
Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
For this reflection post, I thought it was time to take a fresh look at this blog I wrote about my rocky relationship with my mom—or maybe more accurately, the huge void where that relationship should be. I wish I could look back at this 2016 post and say that everything’s changed, but honestly, that’s… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (When The Storm Comes 11/15/2016)
God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
Have you ever wished you could go back and talk to your younger self? Like, maybe your 20-something self? Just to say, ‘Hey, hang on, it gets better!’ I’ve thought about it a lot. I felt so lost during those years of my life. I often hear people say that their twenties were the best… Continue reading God Does Bless The Broken Roads!
Throw Back Thursday (A Love Without Buts 3/10/2016)
I originally wrote this post in March of 2016. Nine years ago, when our love was new. So very new. I smiled the entire time I was reading this and reflecting on this post again. I smiled because I can remember the butterflies that this man gave me back then, I remember them well because… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday (A Love Without Buts 3/10/2016)
Keep Your Circle Small And Your Mind At Peace. ✌🏻
I’ve been thinking a lot about friends and friendships lately. As I approached 40 last year, I had a big change in perspective on relationships. It was like I had a sudden realization, and I looked at things differently. I think it’s because when I hit 40, life just felt so real. Like damn, I’ve… Continue reading Keep Your Circle Small And Your Mind At Peace. ✌🏻

Throw Back Thursday: (Grieving The Baby We Never Got To Hold 2/17/2016)
I made up my mind when I decided to start writing again, that on Thursdays I would share some of my writings/blogs from the past. A “Throw Back Thursday” if you will, and reflect on them now. I decided to share this one first. Because this is the moment writing really changed for me. It… Continue reading Throw Back Thursday: (Grieving The Baby We Never Got To Hold 2/17/2016)
Growth
Putting words to paper right now, even just writing a simple carefree post, feels like a nice deep stretch after a long car ride. I said to my husband last night, that writing after taking an extended break from it, is like working out with muscles you haven’t used in a while. The memory is… Continue reading Growth
A Time To Speak
Here I embark on my writing journey once more, determined to create a successful blog. Years ago, I had cultivated a rewarding blog page that garnered several followers and allowed me to share my life experiences with a wider audience. However, I felt compelled to abandon that page. I had delved into my childhood, recounting… Continue reading A Time To Speak
