BARBIE

It started with the idea of wanting to do some mother/daughter bonding time on her birthday. I’ve been going through some rough stuff for a while now so I wanted to do one of the things that brings me happiness and joy, and that would be special for the birthday girl too. Quality time together…

CHOICES

Every day we are presented with choices. Go left or right? Say yes or say no? Follow the path of good or stray and lose yourself to some sort of bad or evil? Our lives are full of choices and sometimes we make those decisions on our own and sometimes we look to others whether…

PEACE

I have been on a mission to find peace – peace internally and externally but also emotionally and spiritually. For so many years I lived on edge and with constant fear and worry. Whether it be about my daughter’s health, my late husband’s health and wellbeing or even financial worries and pressures that came with…

It’s almost love day – otherwise known as Valentine’s Day. Love is a complex thing and so I thought I would write about it before that big special day. Love is those butterfly feelings, it is passionate, warm, kind, and gentle. It is a feeling of closeness, safety, commitment, attraction, and affection. Love is intense,…
