the story of a single mom overcoming life
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 have been single now for quite some time. Quite a long time it feels like! But what has amazed me is how many single people I have known don’t seem to stay single for very long. So which is easier to do? To stay single or find and be in a relationship? Well since you are asking, I firmly believe it is much harder to stay single in a world where everything and everyone […]
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?!

“Judge thee lest be judged…” We all do it. I’d be lying if I said I’ve never judged another person based on a friends opinion, based on what someone was wearing, based on how they just yelled at their kids (don’t even get me started on mom-shaming)… I’ve done it and guess what, so have […]
I will never understand how it could be possible, that a person who has, on many levels caused such harm to his children and not to mention the women he took a vow to love forever and can consistently come out looking like HE is the victim. It just doesn’t make any sense. I honestly […]
Hello fellow bloggers and people who actually follow me… it has indeed been a while. I guess I could say I took a summer break and really that’s what I did… but mostly I just became tired. It’s been a wild ride these last two years, virtually everything in my life has been turned upside […]
I have spent most of my life caring too much about what other people think about me. If you haven’t, props to you, but you’re probably lying. The truth is most people care a lot about what others think of them. There are a rare few who have long let go of this train of thought […]
