I've been silent for months, just being "in my life" and enjoying being engaged and getting married and being a newlywed. My day-to-day home life has been overall very, very positive. I have been overwhelmed with thanksgiving, peace, and love. Then I log on to Facebook and I am bombarded by hatred. I glimpse the … Continue reading The Disease of Hatred

Trolls and My Vain Book Cover Story
Did you know that I put my face on the cover of my first book? There's a story behind that picture, and I'll get to that, but first, let's talk about trolling. I got some hate mail today. The sad part is this person doesn't know me at all. And for that exact reason, I … Continue reading Trolls and My Vain Book Cover Story
Why the Miss Universe Fiasco Hits Home
They say you can't lose something you never had. That is, unless Steve Harvey reads the card wrong. I sat here with my eyebrows to the sky, in disbelief, as I watched the video clip of Steve Harvey announcing the wrong 2015 Miss Universe, then attempting to correct himself. It was so sad/awkward/funny that I … Continue reading Why the Miss Universe Fiasco Hits Home
DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
As you all know, the #ATLdevo began back in September of 2014, and ran until about August 2015. Every single day, I made it a discipline to write what I was learning with Jesus, and posted it ONLINE, and not only that, but delivered every morning to the inboxes of 80+ people. NO PRESSURE! The … Continue reading DAILY DEVOS RETURN…
Emotional Abuse and Neglect
November 13th. It would have been my 7 year wedding anniversary this week, ya know, had it not been for the divorce. I chopped my hair off, my beautiful long, blond hair and I felt so free! Of course, I asked his opinion many times, and he approved. I wouldn't have cut my hair had my … Continue reading Emotional Abuse and Neglect
The Fear of What If
I've been through it all. Most of you wouldn't know how hurt I've been and how low my lows were. I will spare you from my resume of pain and suffering, and just say pain has a scale and definition to me. I know and trust in God's goodness to me, but I am also … Continue reading The Fear of What If
Greener Grass
Sometimes I get really tired. I get frustrated. I sometimes feel muffled, stifled, and discouraged. I say one thing, meaning it from the bottom of my heart in the best way possible, and it offends. I lose my appetite to speak again. I lose my appetite to even try to explain myself, because it's like … Continue reading Greener Grass
4 Dysfunctional Dating Personalities
I must admit that in the past I've done wrong all the things I'm about to call out. I was selfish, and I didn't know myself very well. I created parasitic relationships. I was insecure. I say "was" because along the way I learned a few things. You're here already, so have a seat. You'll … Continue reading 4 Dysfunctional Dating Personalities
On a Hard Day
I'm a big believer in making your day what you want it to be. I don't like the concept of having to simply respond to whatever cards are dealt to me. I deal, and I get to pick through the deck and make my own hand. It's cheating, but the deck is mine... so... that's … Continue reading On a Hard Day
About Hope
I've found a thing that is most stubborn and unruly. It is irrational, yet the most logical force there's ever been. It's true. It squeezes in through the cracks, it passes through. It reaches the marrow of your bones and settles in, and makes its home. It flows through your veins. It's the breath that … Continue reading About Hope
