As an only child at 6 years old,
My daughter was excited to be a big sister. Once I became pregnant she was ecstatic and hoped for a baby sister. When we found out the baby would be a boy. She was broken-hearted at first.

Not giving up on your dreams,
Giving yourself happiness,
Growing the family you’ve always wanted,
Continuing to challenge yourself,
Going outside of your comfort zone,
Become assertive,
Learning how to set healthy boundaries,
Stopping self sabotaging,
Being in a health relationship,
And being your authentic self.

Both ended in heartbreak.
Safe one

I chose correctly!
Two children later and a wonderful life.
Listen to your heart and your head

Haunted Houses and Horror movies

I was obsessed with death.
I stuttered most of my sentences until receiving speech…read more

Life is hard!
I don’t make enough money.
I can’t pay my bills.
My car broke down.
I’m sick and can’t afford the doctor bill.
I’m stuck on autopilot!
Then I received the best advice,
I’ve ever been given.
“Life doesn’t get easier,
you learn to cope better!”
I charged my thinking,
which changed my actions.
I worked three jobs and saved money.

I’m hungry
but there’s no food here.
Will there be light tonight?
Will the water be warm for my shower?
Will I get sleep tonight
or will there be yelling & drinking yet again
or will my anxiety swallow me whole
and give me the peace I crave for?
As tears roll down my cheeks,
I vow to never let my children experience this, when I become a mom.
Now…read more
