Don’t you dare ask them that!

I swear I feel like punching people in their eyes when they ask me specific questions. But there is one question above all questions that really strikes my nerves.  Growing up, I spent a lot of time in the church. I was there on Wednesdays, some Saturdays, and all day Sunday. My family and I …

But what if you win ~Part 2~

Don't be afraid to win! Over the years, I have seen people come close to the end zone and then fumble the ball. Could the fumble be due to overthinking, fear of success, fear of failure, or poor decision-making? When I was reading the comments from part one, there was a recurring theme; "I put others …

If Only For A Moment

Will you allow me the pleasure of living in your world, if only for a moment? I'm not nosey; I'm just intuned with the fact that this world is bigger than me, and I love that.  It's other people that make the world interesting, not me. I'm intrigued by the unknown man and woman who …

Mental Health Check

It was a nightmare but it's over now! See you, January; I am so happy to welcome February into our lives. It has to be better than January. It always seems as though the start of the new year offers a buffet of problems. There's always one problem after another and zero answers. You have …

Eyes Wide Shut

My current situation! I will not put the brand of eye masks out there for the world to see, but to be careful which products you try. About two months ago, I invested in eye masks in hopes of brightening up underneath my eyes. And well, let's say they did their job and then some. …

I’ll Never Forget You

My time to vent, and I'm pissed, so I have a lot to say. You entered into my life when I needed you, too, and you showed me who I was but, most importantly, who I wasn't. The amount of respect and admiration that you gained from me is unmatched. I will never find a …

Your heart is safe with me

I sit, and I watch in admiration. That type of connection that two people can share is something worth looking at.  This is the time of year that you reach out to people who mean something to you, or they reach out to you—wishing one another a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. And if you're …
