Walking With Power

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Some times strength has to be taught, and sometimes you are born with all the power you need. I wasn’t born with the strength that I have today. However, I was born with a low tolerance level for irrationality. Foolishness and inconsistent behavior have never been amusing to me. It’s no surprise that my husband and my kids share that same attribute. I think that’s why we can all spend so much time together and get along so well. Read More

You Can’t Rescue The Boy In The Man “Part 1”

.Reading time 3 minutes.

All I remember is it being deathly silent on the phone. I thought she had fallen asleep. So there I lay on the couch under the covers in a slightly dark room with only the light sound of the t.v. going. By this time it was 2 o’clock in the morning, and we started our conversation at 11:00 pm. I’m not quite sure how long it was since we last talked but we had a lot to catch up on. Our conversation went from politics to food, health, fitness, raising kids, marriage, and reminiscing about our old selves. Read More

Because I like food and I can’t wait to start making my Halloween meals and goodies and then roll right into the Thanksgiving and Christmas Season. So here’s the thing, I have been known to go to bed stuffed with all types of delicious entrees and then wake up full and sluggish.

Why Coming From a Broken Home May B​e Better Than Living In One “Part 2″​

.Reading time 3 minutes.

Sometimes you have to take a step back and reflect over the things you desired to change as a child and make a conscious decision to not let history repeat itself. It’s not easy to walk away from someone you love and let go of what you want the relationship to be. Allowing yourself to let go of the living happily ever after can feel like a punch in the stomach and a knife in your heart. Read More

Just A Thought

.Reading time less than 1 minute.

Prayer will take you a long way! Right, when you think about giving up God will grab you up and hold you tight and show you why you shouldn’t.

I’m listening to God and I believe in his power.

I hope you all let God be God and direct you on the right path.

You could have chosen to read any blog but you chose mine and I’m honored.

I Was Blocked On Instagram

.Reading time 4 minutes.

I had a great topic to write about today, but something else hit my spirit. So I was on Instagram and wondering why I hadn’t seen a particular person that always pops up on my timeline. Now I have to admit whenever I saw a post from this person, my eyes would roll back in my head, and I know I had a disgusted look on my face. But I never thought twice about unfollowing, mostly because to me that’s just rude. But I guess I stand alone with that thought. Read More
