A lot of people think of different things when they think of October. Some may think of Halloween, some may think of pumpkins, scary movies, or costumes, others may think of Christopher Columbus. I think of all those things plus one more—babies! You see, October is the National Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month. DuringContinue reading “Pregnancy & Infant Loss Awareness”

Finishing the Race
I have one word to describe how I feel today. SORE! Yesterday, my friend Emily and I accomplished a huge goal. We ran our first half marathon. It was an incredible experience, and I am so glad I did it. This year has not gone as planned, and most of the training I was supposedContinue reading “Finishing the Race”
Half Marathon
October is one of my favorite months of the year because I love Halloween! I also love the fact that during this month, the leaves start becoming multi-colored, and everything looks magical. This October is exciting for me because this Saturday (yes, in two days), I will be running my very first half marathon. IContinue reading “Half Marathon”
Seeking Approval
I care way too much about what people think of me. It has been a problem for me, as long as I can remember. From the way I walk, talk, dress, raise my kids, my marriage, and everything in between, I let people have that power over me. People do not realize they have thatContinue reading “Seeking Approval”
Dreaming of Big Cities
I have lived in this small town in North Carolina since I was born. I don’t know what it is like to live in a big city; I have imagined it to be kind of scary. Last year I traveled to New York, which is the largest place I have been in my entire life.Continue reading “Dreaming of Big Cities”
Happy Sunday
Don’t you love Sundays? It’s a day to relax and reflect on the week you just had and think toward the coming week. I like to chill and recharge before I head into another long work week. I also spend half of my Sunday’s with the blues because I dread going back to work theContinue reading “Happy Sunday”
Love, Love, Love
Good morning! I’m starting my day off with coffee and Jesus. What about y’all?😊 I wanted to tell y’all about this new Bible I bought a few weeks ago. It is incredible! It breaks down the full meaning behind the Greek and Hebrew words so that you clearly understand what you are reading. I haveContinue reading “Love, Love, Love”
DMV Nightmares
Let me start off saying, the way our Government does things is a bit ridiculous. I know that certain rules must be in place to make sure everything is the way it’s supposed to be, but this new REAL ID thing is a little bit much. My license had expired; since everyone eventually would haveContinue reading “DMV Nightmares”
Our People
Isn’t it crazy how hard life is? Most days I feel like I’m barely scraping the bottom of a broken barrel, trying to survive. One thing that I have realized since I have reached the “marvelous thirties,” is that we need “our people.” These people I speak of are the friends or acquaintances we haveContinue reading “Our People”
