Sharing my journey of hope.
I'm not feeling well today. Nothing new; I haven't felt well in a long time. I have a whole host of pains and other issues and it seems no one in the medical field is taking me seriously. I have pain like I've never had before. The pain in my legs when I'm sitting gets... Continue Reading →
Hello my friends! I know, once again, it's been awhile. It's certainly not because my life has been boring lately, well it has been boring but at the same time, there has been so much happening.

The most you said with just one word Like most codependent, the hardest thing for me to do is say, "No". However, that tiny little word has given me so much freedom and has brought me to a place of peace and serenity in my life. Saying "No" has taught me how to set boundaries with... Continue Reading →
The saddest song you ever heard Yep, "The Christmas Shoes" is hands-down one of the saddest songs I've ever heard. I cry every time I hear it. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNX7d1ETWd8
