Healing from Addiction

Some days are easy. You wake up, you feel good, the sun’s shining, and life seems to be going along in your favor. Others days though… Other days are a battle. Negative, racing thoughts running around in your mind. Nothing seems to be going your way. You...

Keep Faith

It was a Thursday morning. August, 10th, 2000. I remember it like yesterday. My dad called, obviously crying and distraught. He wanted to talk to my mom or my brother. Neither were home, so I just kept asking what was wrong? After a long pause he said,...

40 Day Social Media Detox

The decision to break free from social media was something I had been contemplating for a long time. I’d already slowed down on my usage since my son had been born, because, duh, who got time for that when your caring for a new baby? Some days I might not even...

Forever in Love.

When I was a little girl, my fondest memories were when I was in traveling to another world in my imagination. I remember swinging on my swing set. I loved how the wind blew through my hair, and the way the sun shined down from the sky. I would lean back and just look...
