Let’s face it, we all have needs. We all need to be hugged, smiled at, encouraged…. and um occasionally participate in that ever so important “cuddle time.” Now, I’m not necessarily proud of what I’m about to divulge on my personal yet oh so public blog, but I have not “cuddled” anyone special in over … Continue reading »
My Path To Freedom
My 31st birthday recently came to pass on July 8 and in celebration, without even realizing my intent, I forgave my mother. If you’ve been a follower of my blog since last summer, you are probably aware of the trials I have faced along the bumpy road toward making peace with my mother. However on … Continue reading »
A Temporary Farewell….
I have decided to step away from the blogosphere for a little while. So this will be my final post for an undetermined amount of time. I’ve been feeling this need to withdraw for the past month and just tonight after finishing a long phone conversation with a fellow blogger, I have clarity as to why I … Continue reading »

Learning to Exhale

It’s days like yesterday that make me want to extract … Continue reading »

Swimming in the Sea of Hope
Yesterday, I had a job interview. It was not exactly the best day in the world to hit the job interview jackpot… in fact, when I woke up and told my friend that I learned about my luck at 10:00 pm the night before, I used the word “nightmare” to describe how I felt about having … Continue reading »
The Road Home
Have you ever lost the person you loved most in the world? Have you ever dealt with the numb pain of saying good-bye forever, as you try to move forward without a chunk of your heart? I have. Though I cannot say for sure what day my Godfather died, I believe today marks the anniversary … Continue reading »
