  • I Resign

    My family rented a house at the beach and I wasn’t invited. I didn’t find out about until a few days after some members of my family returned. One thought he told me about it. I knew they were going away, they frequently do. If he had told me, I would have been curious as… Read more

  • Nobody Quite Gets It

    We all have those moments where we feel like nobody gets us or we’re a joke that’s gone over peoples’ heads. With every career or drop out from school or painful experience I had, did no one ever think these were precious parts of my life that I would treasure? Why would you say, “This… Read more

  • Christmas Cards

    Sorry this image is a little blurry I had to blow it up in paint. I got it from Temu and discovered it has been discontinued. I got a few because I thought it was funny. I write personalized notes, not just a basic Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays. What can I say, I’m a… Read more

As time went by and classes were soon approaching, I decided to leave because I didn’t want to disappoint them. So, I decided to give up my dream because… Read more

  • A Christmas Secret

    Can you keep a secret? I know only a handful of people read my blog. I know my family certainly doesn’t, so I know I can tell you. You must know this part first. I have a brother, sister-in-law, and neice who live in the next city over. His other daughter just had a baby.… Read more

  • HAPPY ALL SAINTS’ DAY!

    It’s not just the fact that there are 54 days before Christmas that is exciting. Today is a tremendous holiday celebrated in many Christian churches called All Saints’ Day. When you think of saints who comes to your mind whether you are Catholic or not. Pope John Paul II? Joan of Ark? Francis of Assisi?… Read more
