CAUSING PAIN?
Who wants to feel pain? Hurt? No one does. So instead we lash out and hurt those around us. Sometimes even ourselves. This was never more clear to me at the end of my marriage and the months following. I was the object of a […]
STORMS
Lifetime of calm water? No thank you. Those storms made me the person I am today. I wouldn’t have the great friendships I have now without those lessons. I wouldn’t be the mom I am without those experiences. I know for a fact I wouldn’t […]
