I wrote this poem 25 years ago. I was 17 years old. I titled it “When Weakness Wins”. The pretty little flower sat alone in the sun. There were no others like her, she was the only one.

What Motherhood Means To Me
I haven't written for the past few days because the only thing weighing on my heart is my mother. I found myself wrestling with the thought of whether it seems pathetic to have a blog meant for sharing my thoughts on anything under the sun, yet here I am, compelled to write about her time… Continue reading What Motherhood Means To Me

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)
