    Don’t Laugh! It Could Happen To You!

    Dating has significantly changed since the 90’s when I initially started. It is not as simple as being set up with your best friend’s brother ,someone you meet at church or the mall. We now have the infamous online dating. You are able to meet people from anywhere at anytime and you don’t have to…

  • Good Grief…..

    Good Grief…..

    I never thought there was such a thing. I only heard it said when someone was frustrated about something or when Charlie Brown just couldn’t cut it. I’ve always associated grief with crying and being sad. Just a dark cloud of loss and pain. I remember when my father died. I didn’t know which way…

    Pardon Me, I Forgot To Cover My Scars…

    I thought I had trained myself not to be allergic to Mondays. For as long as I can remember all I have ever said was “I hate Mondays!” Yes I know, I sounded like a kid who didn’t want to get up to go to school. The adult in me insisted I not give a…

    Coming From All Directions

    I made it. I survived my dad’s birthday without completely falling apart.  Of course there were tears, but I can honestly say happy tears. As I sat in pain all day because the cyst on my abdomen had ruptured, I smiled and thought about the pain my dad was in with renal failure. I sucked…

  • A Day To Remember……

    A Day To Remember……

    Today is August 28, 2017, my father’s birthday. Wow that was so hard to write because my father passed away in September of 2006. I have dreaded this day since August 29, 2016. I didn’t know how or what I was going to feel when I woke up this morning. Much to my surprise, I…
