Accept Differences
Wouldn’t the world be a dull place to live if we were all the same? It is our differences that make us unique. If everyone you knew thought the same way you think, spoke the same way you speak, loved the same things you love, there would be no fulfillment of dreams. Goals would not…

I have Failed
I was laying awake the other night, which in itself is weird for me. I am one of the lucky few who have no trouble sleeping. Seriously, the house can fall down around me and I would sleep right through it. I know you hate me, right? You’re in good company. I was thinking about…

I Said it
She grabs the soapbox. She steps up…to the mic and begins. Can you hear that? Listen to the sounds. The noise. It is the sound of life as we know it falling down around us. We are no longer safe in our own homes. We can’t go to the store without worrying if we will…

I decided to Trust My Husband
I know it seems that trust is supposed to be automatic. We see a new couple who appear happy and in love at the beginning of a marriage. They have a bright wide-open future in front of them. They say the words and we pray for them as they start a new life together. We…

What Does Survival Look Like for You?
Photo by Yoann Boyer on Unsplash Is it possible for a person to save another who didn’t know they needed saving? We look at all the social media that screams at us with lies about our self-worth.

I just Can’t Do This
Photo by Kinga Cichewicz on Unsplash It has taken years for me to come to terms with the fact, I have been emotionally abused. I am now in a place where I can talk about it. In my past, I had relationships that were on the surface wonderful and deep at the core, not good. Friendships…
