I’ve come to see aging not as a single chapter but as a collection of seasons — each one with its own rhythm, its own purpose, and its own kind of beauty. In our younger years, we rush through life like it’s always spring — full of beginnings, energy, and dreams sprouting in every direction.... Continue Reading →
This past week, I found myself in an unexpected battle — on that oh-so-familiar platform called Facebook. Remember when Facebook was fun? You could reconnect with old friends, share family photos, play a few silly games, and laugh at your own throwback memories. Those were the good old days. But lately, it feels more like...

Ever have one of those days, weeks, months where life keeps coming at you, and you never can catch a break. Some mornings, I wake up feeling like I’ve failed before I’ve even had my coffee. The to-do list is long, my energy is short, and my best intentions seem to have slipped out the... Continue Reading →
If you know anything about me one thing is for sure, Grace is not my middle name. It started in 2023 when I had my first fall from losing my balance and breaking my right hip. Then in 2024 my husband and I decided we were going to start 2024 right with a trip to... Continue Reading →
Some of the fires we walk through or get close to weren’t ever made to burn us. We judge each spark by our past experiences. Hindsight is always 20/20, we can see where we made the wrong or right decision. If we allow the fire to purify us from the inside out, we grow. If... Continue Reading →
In my twenties, I got diagnosed with codependency. I thought, “Perfect. Now I’m fixed.” Spoiler: forty years later, still working on it. Apparently, healing doesn’t come with an instruction manual—or a return policy. Fast-forward to today. I’ve got three grown kids. I wanted to leave them a legacy, but codependency? Yeah, not exactly the family... Continue Reading →
Just When You Thought It couldn’t get worse—or so I thought. But then it did. It’s like waiting for the other shoe to drop, and just when you think you’ve steadied yourself, there it is, thudding to the floor. Every day since, the reality has sunk in a little deeper, and with it, the weight... Continue Reading →
Don't Believe The Lie Our minds are very tricky, they retain everything that anyone has said to us or about us. We base our decisions off of other peoples opinions of who they believe we are. One day we wake up filled with anxiety, depression, self loathing, confusion, mistrust, speculation just because we believe the... Continue Reading →
Do You Ever Get So Angry You Want to Cry? I do. And I hate it. Because when I’m angry, the last thing I want to do is cry like a baby—or at least that’s how it feels. But it happened to me this past week, over something so small it sounds ridiculous just to... Continue Reading →
But I Am Still Here I have three adult children, ranging in age from 35 to 44. When they first left home, I remember feeling an overwhelming sadness, wondering when they would visit or even just call. But I quickly discovered that being an empty nester was only temporary. Each of them returned home at... Continue Reading →
