I don’t know many writers in my everyday life. Hell, I don’t know many writers except for social media. Even then, I am so bad with making connections with any of them because of many reasons: My point is that I don’t know many writers…like REALLY know them so I don’t know if I am

My random acts of kindness are very simple. They range from a heartfelt out of the blue text to someone expressing how much I appreciate them, a candy bar/snack left for them, a random gift to maybe paying for a stranger’s order in a drive thru, etc. Random acts of kindness never entered my mind

My favorite genre of music? This is perhaps the hardest question for me as I love many different types of music. I grew up in a rural town. As a teenager, I loved country music and heavy metal. Quite the combination. One minute listening to Guns N’ Roses and the next listening to Keith Whitley.

Hi Y’all, It has been a LONG time. I have missed writing on my blog and writing in general. The past year has been a blur filled with frustration, love, misery, pain, anxiety, and fulfillment. A lot of emotions in a short time. I apologize for coming and going so often. Five years ago, life

The last time I posted was quite a while ago. I stated how I was going to write more, journal more, etc., etc. Well, it didn’t happen. I totally own it. I completely underestimated the power of grief from losing my mother a year ago, being a mother of a son who is struggling with

Remember the good ol’ days when, as a child, we would write all our hopes, dreams, embarrassing moments, crushes, parent woes, etc. in our diaries?

It is finally here 2021!!! 2020 seemed to spiral out of control with COVID, social distancing, virtual as well as in-person distanced mask-wearing school, my mother passing away, gaining weight from stress and ordering delivery, etc. I felt like 2020 would never go away. Now that it is gone, I feel like I am almost

As a child, my mother made a big deal about making sure her rural county – living daughters were exposed to museums, parks, art, the city, plays, etc. I have wonderful memories of sitting next to her in the field by our house as she sketched. The long grass was itchy, but it didn’t seem

The past two and half months, since schools closed, have been crazy to say the least. COVID-19 has really thrown us all for a loop. The first week schools closed, I admit I was happy. Relieved even because it has been a tough school year. We all thought it was temporary so it felt like

I am a stress eater and dealing with COVID-19 and my mother’s death has meant chips, chocolate, and all the other yummies. I call it the QUARANTINE 15. I haven’t gained 15 pounds, but it sure feels like it. My jeans are tight around the waist and ass because I have been living in sweatpants

To be honest, it isn’t so much of a fad versus a jewelry need. Enso rings are my newest love. If you don’t know what I am talking about then click above and check them out. No, they are not paying me to write a review…plus they don’t even know I exist. haha! The truth

It is a new year and a new decade. It is hard to believe. Today, I woke up early as every day. I wish I could say it was because I am too excited to start the day. In truth, I would love to sleep in; however, my hound dog has other ideas. He just
