the story of a single mom overcoming life
Happiness was never meant for me. I truly believed that. I was happy enough. The one thing that brought me joy was and forever will be my children. Which is an amazing thing and I can never say it enough. But, and there’s always a but isn’t there… I wasn’t happy in any other area […]
OK ladies and gents… Can we talk about how important it is to raise our daughters with a decent self-image and how hard it is?! For one thing, every time they turn on the TV what kind of role-models are they seeing? Real everyday women, working real jobs in everyday life? Not quite… instead they […]
Abuse… Well people are certainly talking about sexual abuse a lot in the media right now and I say good for them! It’s not something new but it’s being brought to the forefront and hopefully induces justice. That’s not what I want to talk about though. I want to talk about domestic abuse… how it […]
Happy New Year! Ok so I’m a few days late but…. Take charge of 2018 now! As you enter the new year actually take some time to write down your goals for 2018. No, don’t just keep those thoughts in your head, write them down. On paper. A checklist if you will. And put that […]

Can I just say how excited I am to be back at it! I missed writing on my blog so much. I’m excited to share new things with you all. I’ve thought long and hard about what my first post back should be… I could talk more about post divorce life, or about my recent […]
Divorce… It is final, it is finished and my old new last name is officially mine again. It may come as a shock to some but my divorce just became final about a month ago. Shocking only because reading through my assortment of posts one could probably same assume I was already divorced. It took […]
Sorry guys, this post wont be as dramatic as the last, or cause a ruckus. That last post was by far the most viewed post ever. People like drama I suppose… No, this post, blurb, is about just me. Me, overcoming my biggest obstacle…. myself. In the midst of the chaos that has been my […]
