When someone says, “you are loved,” how do you respond? I’ll go first. There was a time when I would immediately start thinking of my flaws. I can’t keep up. I’m too quiet. I’m certainly not trendy enough. I’m not as engaging as she is. The flawed thoughts would go on and on. That was […]
I’m trying something new. Digital art. Am I a pro at it? Far from it, but I’m so glad for YouTube tutorials. While it’s taking me some time (a lot of time) to learn how to use design software, it’s so much fun. The more time I invest in learning about it, I know I […]
This past Saturday, I decided to “Swiffer” the entire house. It felt like a deep clean kind of Saturday, requiring a little extra time and effort.

That one thing you’re talking to your best friend about again? Maybe there is more than one thing, but what is the one thing that seems to be the dividing […]
Friends, I want to reflect & celebrate together! This month marks two years of writing this blog. I remember it like it was yesterday as I taught myself how to start a website and make goals to launch my writing before a milestone birthday. Writing is just one thing that has opened the way to […]
