Small Step Before the Big Jump…

I know, I know….it has been awhile since I have last shared our journey. Long story short, life got really busy really fast. Have you have had a time in your life when it feels like you are on the downward drop of a rollercoaster? Everything moving so fast that it becomes a blur?

Update on this hermit…

I have been MIA…and I am very aware of it. I do it every time I start feeling overwhelmed by my emotions…and I don’t want anyone to actually see what is going on with me. I have done this my whole life, and I know that I should run and hide from hard times…but IContinue reading “Update on this hermit…”

Let’s Get Real

Most of my posts, so far, have been “positive”. I usually consider myself a positive person, who finds joy in empowering and uplifting people. Today is not one of those days.

Added Support.

As I shared before, my husband and I have been TTC for three years. Six months in I began searching high and low for answers…and when I couldn’t find answers, I searched for other women who were going through what I was. I was looking for support. I met a dear friend of mine inContinue reading “Added Support.”
