Living in the possibilities and pursuing purpose.
So, please remember there is a woman out there like me. She’s wearing so many hats you can’t see her face anymore. She’s juggling so many balls she may never look away and see you. If she does, you won’t be able to handle the subsequent crash.
Chasing disappointments that have plagued me for years now, I am somber. There is a sense of grief for a person I desired to be. My sheltered dreams seem unattainable. Life is more about everyone else than me.
You're not a failure. Never forget that.
As my son made his way to 18, I thought it was all coming to an end. As though my status as mom would be revoked and I had to apply for a new one.
If I could meet up with my 20 something self, I would probably bring a bottle of wine. I don’t even drink wine, but this occasion may be the perfect time to start. Before I can come up with the words for that chat, I have to remember who I was back then. I was a lost girl, broken and beaten to the edge.
I am the wife that has gotten on his last nerve, the mother who asks to many questions, the distant sister, the isolated churchgoer, and the quirky employee who hides behind a forced smile and genuine respect for all around her. I am lost in every way this world requires us to be sure.
It is difficult to celebrate on Mother's Day when you live with the guilt of being a Bipolar mother.
For those feeling the smack of the paddle, throw yourself off the table and keep rolling!
A mother's journey through a child's addiction.
I am a strong woman, I was stronger than ever in a trance like state, but I couldn't bare the weakness and fear any longer.

I'm someone who has always had a deep passion for literature and writing. From a young age, I've been captivated by the power of words and the way they can transport us to different worlds, open our minds to new ideas, and connect us with people and experiences that are distant from our own. Whether it's immersing myself in a classic novel, jotting down my thoughts in a journal, or crafting my own creative stories, writing and literature have always been an essential part of my life. I'm excited to continue exploring this rich and rewarding field, and to share my thoughts and insights with others who share my love for all things literary.
Grace for Today. Hope for Tomorrow.
