Being Real
Several months ago I created a post with extremely foul language, filled with anger and hatred. A couple of months later, I took that post down because I didn't want to offend anyone and I also did not want people to think I was just some trashy, foul-mouthed lunatic, if that were the only post...

Speaking Your Truth
I did something this morning. Something that made me uncomfortable and just a bit nervous. It wasn't easy but it needed to be done, for me, so I did it. I spoke my truth.

Believing Myself to be a Woman of Worth
I read a very interesting article today posted by another blogger. It is titled, "Why All Men Cheat on Loyal Women" and it is written by Ebrahim Aseem. As I read through it, I noticed myself. UGH, I hate when that happens. Yep, I was one of those "weak" women. It made me start thinking... Continue Reading →
I went from zero…to my own hero!
I was running some errands yesterday and listening to the radio, having my own little karaoke fest in my car, when Katy Perry's song, "Roar" came on. I've heard this song just a few times before but never really paid attention to the lyrics. Well, they caught my attention yesterday. For some reason, it hit... Continue Reading →
