Filling the Void
I don’t post much anymore. Mostly because I’m unsure of what to say or how to say it. I live in a state of confusion, and it’s frustrating. But everyday is a learning experience and everyday I’m one step closer to peace. I have an undeniable void that nags and begs for my attention. Most [...]
Why Did I Get Married?
There’s a movie by Tyler Perry called “Why Did I Get Married?” and it’s actually one of my favorite movies. It’s about 4 couples who get together every year for a mini retreat, and I won’t give away the rest for those of you who haven’t seen it. There’s also a sequel, but I hated [...]

Watch the Company You Keep
My husband has had some of the same friends since he was in Kindergarten. He’s made other friends over the years, but a handful of them have remained consistent. I like to consider them my friends too, and really we’re all family. Over the years, some people he’s met growing up have come and gone, [...]
