I originally wrote this post in 2014 but thought it was a good time to bring it up again. I had an interesting conversation last night with a friend of mine who seems to feel another friend we have in common (though I haven't seen her for a few years) is "stuck" in her marriage....

While I was walking through my room this morning (doing God only knows what because I have already forgotten) I heard something on the TV that caught my attention, but only for a moment. The only things I remember are the two words "life-changes" and "transformation". It got me to thinking about the two and... Continue Reading →

When people are unhappy, well, it just stresses me out. Yeah I know, life is not always rainbows and butterflies.... Continue Reading →
It has been an eventful week! I flew to Las Vegas last Thursday for my uncle's 90th birthday party and had such a wonderful time! I stayed with my mom and cousin from Thursday through Monday and what a pleasant visit we had. It was so funny that at the party Saturday night, my mom... Continue Reading →
Twelve years! It's been 12 years since I began my journey of self-discovery, codependent recovery and emotional healing and it has been amazing! I've learned and changed so much in the past 12 years and I am truly amazed at who I am today. If I met myself on the street today, I'd really like me.... Continue Reading →
I'm heading out for a little adventure to the city of Las Vegas this week. One of my uncles is celebrating his 90th birthday and his son is throwing him a huge party at the Main Street Social Club. I originally RSVP'd to my cousin that I was coming but then at the beginning of the... Continue Reading →
Well this self-inflicted challenge has certainly been interesting; had to dig up things I haven’t thought about in awhile. Though some of it was challenging I am pleased to say that none of it was too hard to handle. Growth and healing at its finest I’d say. Now I need some more ideas to help me... Continue Reading →
