a story from somewhere over the rainbow
It seems to me that guilt and being a parent kind of go together. If you are a parent, you know exactly what I’m talking about! Guilt… it’s inevitable — you are going to feel guilty more than once on your parenting journey. Now, with all the mom-shaming or just parent shaming in general, there’s even more […]
Most of my life I have chosen to believe the best in people. I choose to believe in what I saw about a person. I choose to believe in what they said as truth. I was naive. Sometimes it takes going through a hell of a lot to stop and realize that. I was so […]
I have gone years thinking and hoping and wishing upon a star to find ‘the one.’ all to be completely and utterly disappointed in men… and most recently myself. I must say my dating experience these last 4 years has been quite all over the place. Newly single, I did what a lot of women in […]
“I just miss you” Ever got this text from an old flame before? (does anyone use the term ‘old flame’ anymore?) I’m guessing you probably have. And if you are feeling lonely, don’t fall into this trap! It is a joke. He misses you now that he has no one else. He only misses you […]
I am my own worst critic. I’ll be the first to tell you that I know I’m not perfect, but that doesn’t mean I’m not trying. Over the years I know there have been many things said about me, about the choices I have made regarding my life. Some question them and judge me negatively. […]
It has been almost 11 years since I became a mother and sometimes when I look at the three little girls playing around in my living room I can’t even believe it. I have three amazing little girls. There are times when I just watch them or look in on them when they are fast […]
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 […]
