Apologies: A tale of truth

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... Continue Reading →

Journaling through life

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? If you didn't, then you missed out on unleashing all your thoughts onto paper then hiding them as if no one could ever find them. My diary back then had... Continue Reading →

ART and the Grieving Cave

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... Continue Reading →

Quarantine Life

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... Continue Reading →

QUARANTINE 15

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... Continue Reading →

The ENSO Fad

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... Continue Reading →

The New Year

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... Continue Reading →

Don’t be afraid to change your goals.

My summer goals on writing each week have not been successful. My mother's husband had surgery and he is my mother's caretaker. She is in the last and final stage of Alzheimer's. This is perhaps the worst stage yet. It could last months or it could last years. With my stepfather's recovery, my sisters and... Continue Reading →

Summer Goals

Summer is my time to destress from a school year. As a special education teacher, my patience is tested throughout the year as I help students deal with their emotions, academic struggles, and just getting through the day. I love my job, but I do need the summer to be myself again. This time of... Continue Reading →
