How I Lost My Voice

Some of you are most likely going what do you mean you have lost your voice. Are you sick? To answer this question, I lost my voice on how to express what I have wanted to say and not care about what needs to change. I guess you can say it is a sign that I gave up on being myself. When did I notice I have gone silent? That is a very good question. Honestly, I can’t exactly tell you when. Though…

What I have been Reading

Last year wasn’t a good year for reading. It has nothing to do with the textbooks I had to read for college. Granted I did enjoy my Old Testament book. But I will let you all see what I have been reading lately. I will also add a little bit of the ones that are on my to be read list. I started last year out with reading “Twisted Love” by Ana Huang. I honestly enjoyed that book. My issue is that…

Top 10 Self Care I do for Myself

I am going to be real with y’all. The best thing I could do for myself is realizing that I needed to give myself some care and some love. Since I have done that, I have been a much happier person and not only that, but my mental health has improved a lot. Just because I am posting what I do doesn’t mean you have to do exactly what I do. This is how I take care of myself and what I found works for…

Today is not my day.

Yesterday I ended up getting an earache. Today I had a scare with getting puss and blood on the cotton ball I had in my ear. I went to MedExpress to get checked out tonight and was told I have swimmers ear aka an ear infection. On top of it I had a migraine. I am hoping tomorrow to get a normal post in.

What Self-care Means to Me Now

“It’s not selfish to LOVE YOURSELF, take care of yourself & to make your happiness a priority. It’s necessary.” By Mandy Hale I never thought that self-care would be a big deal. In fact, I never believed in it. I know I should have. I have always made time for everyone and everything else, but never for me. Since I started doing it, I have noticed a change in myself. I have been learning to love…

2025 Playlist So Far

I thought I would pull it back to a softer post this time. I know it is only the third month of 2025, but I have a what I think is a huge playlist of what I have been listening to. Coming at #1 is Morgan Wallen with Love Somebody #2 Keith Urban with Messed Up as Me. I am not a big fan of Keith Urban. In fact, this is his only song that I like from him. #3 Florida Georgia Line with Take it Out…

What a Bright New Future Means with New Achievable Bucket List

“The only thing you live to regret are the risks you didn’t take.” By Zachary Scott The day I sat and looked into my future I didn’t see much right now. In fact, I really didn’t see anything. I just saw me living this life and maintaining the status quo. Not really doing much living and leaving the legacy I want to leave behind when I am gone. That is when it really hit me. I am 33 years old and…

The Storm Called Life

I have for the past three years been going through this what seems like a never-ending storm. This storm has been just the hardest thing I have ever experienced in my life. That is why I tend to disappear from posting for long periods of time. I have been trying to figure out how to get out of this storm. So, I am about to get real and raw with y’all. As most of you know, I lost my mom back in…

Family Mystery Update

I just wanted to let you know that I needed a much-needed two-day rest. I will be trying to put Part 3 and 4 out tonight (maybe). If not, you will be getting two parts a day to get caught up. I am hoping by Thursday to have this caught up. With that being said my normal topics will be starting back up when I get caught up with the story. Thank you all for bearing with me.

Family Mystery Part 2

            I waited all day for Uncle Matt to come give that paper to dad. Well, I mean I had school, because it is Friday after all. I couldn’t wait! The day though just seemed to drag on and on.             Have you ever been so excited for it that time just moved slowly? That is where I was at school. Once I got home I texted dad to see if Uncle Matt dropped it off. Not even five minutes…

Don't Cross My Boundaries

There has been an issue going on for years in my life. Want to know what that is? Well, it is people crossing the boundaries I have set in place. Then when it comes to the consequences, they act like nothing happened and they didn’t cross anything claiming I am just being dramatic. Hate to tell that person they are not the victim. I have done a lot of growing up in the last few years and I am…
