I was talking to my brother recently and, on occasion, he'll say something completely on point to my internal dialogue. He doesn't know he's saying something that will spark a reaction from me, but that's okay. His head is big enough. 😉 Whenever I talk to someone who genuinely knows me and knows my heart, … Continue reading Getting Honest

A Changed Woman
I've been writing almost as long as I've been alive. I certainly recall times when being on the computer was not my first thought each day, but these past few months have taught me to back off. They've taught me patience, which is not an exact science (I'm still extremely impatient with myself, and with … Continue reading A Changed Woman
Returned
It's been over five months and I've missed you all SO MUCH. I wish I was in the perfect head-space for my return, but I'm not. Things have happened, and not happened.

From Scratch
Two days. That's all it took to completely erase me. My entire past and much of the present; things I've held onto tightly because I believed I had something in life worth fighting for. I still had hope. I believed in the responsibility. I believed in keeping specific things, and people, alive, and sacred. Now, … Continue reading From Scratch
You Are The Energy You Attract
“You are the energy you attract. Whether you are aware of that or not, everything you come up against is teaching you about that part within yourself. Listen carefully, it's a hint to a better you.” ―Nikki Rowe
