My boys, There will come a day when you meet someone that you want to spend your life with. Or maybe you won’t be absolutely sure of it yet, but you’ll see the potential. When that time comes, there are a few things that are very important for you to know and do. 1) Help… Continue reading A letter to my sons.

Vulnerability (Part 2)
I’m almost ashamed to admit this, but I want to be taken care of. Isn’t that awful? How embarrassing! But true! I am a very independent woman. I always have been. I moved out at 17, had my own apartment, got pregnant at 20 and spent the next 20 years taking care of people. I… Continue reading Vulnerability (Part 2)
Shatter
I crave contentment. I'm desperate for it. My whole life I have been searching for it. A lot can be said about being happy. I am happy. But I'm not content. I love life, but I do not feel safe. My heart does not feel safe. I live in fear every day. Fear of being… Continue reading Shatter
Prayers and dreams
I struggle with questions about what happens in the afterlife. I am a born again Christian, yet I have not been baptized. So what exactly does that mean for me? I believe in God, I believe whole heartedly that Jesus died on the cross for our sins, yet I haven’t taken the “plunge” into baptism.… Continue reading Prayers and dreams
Social Media can be evil, if you let it.
How often do you look up certain people on Facebook or Instagram only to become annoyed, jealous or angry? We all do it. We torture ourselves. We cyber stalk people and then compare our lives to theirs. We compare our relationships, our goodness, our beauty and our happiness. Why? “Comparison is the thief of joy.”… Continue reading Social Media can be evil, if you let it.
Sick of your shit?
“I’ve never seen any life transformation that didn’t begin with the person in question finally getting sick of their own bullshit.” – Elizabeth Gilbert. Are you sick of your own bullshit yet? I know so many people who complain about the same things over and over, yet do nothing to change it. Fear of the… Continue reading Sick of your shit?
My free therapy.
I have always loved writing. In Junior High, one of my stories was published in a booklet called "Pegasus" (which I think might just be an Upper Michigan thing, but I'm not sure) and I thought I was a pretty big deal. I would stay up all hours of the night and just type away… Continue reading My free therapy.
Who am I really? And why do I need to know right now?
I’m on this journey of finding myself (who isn’t?) and I always feel like I’m so close to figuring me out, and then BAM! Life says, “Just kidding!” On my way, I have worn too many hats to keep track of. I’ve been an athlete, a stoner, a musician, a groupie, a hippie, a bible… Continue reading Who am I really? And why do I need to know right now?
Hidden treasures
Throughout my life, I have gained and lost many friendships. Each situation is different. People grow apart, people change, priorities shift and sometimes people are just shitty. I’ll be the first to admit that I’ve been that shitty person. But I always end up taking away more from a lost friendship, than I had gained… Continue reading Hidden treasures
You say I’m a bitch like it’s a bad thing…
Saturday night, a “friend” of mine called me a “nice piece” repeatedly, followed by asking my boyfriend several times if he was going to “tap that”. A year ago, I would have awkwardly laughed about this while boiling on the inside. I would have nervously said “oh knock it off” with a fake smile on… Continue reading You say I’m a bitch like it’s a bad thing…
