The rush

Originally posted 2022-11-03 07:56:28. I woke up this morning like any other morning feeling the need for coffee. But the rush wasn’t from coffee. I started watching this documentary called Killer Sally. She was in an abusive relationship where from the outside no one knew. No one suspected outside of one person she confided in. The man was likeable. She did everything she good to try and please him according to her words. He would…

Not just a title

Originally posted 2022-10-11 10:54:58. Over the past 5 days we had our grandbabies. I was so overjoyed to get them! I can’t believe I am a grandparent, grandmother, grandma, whatever you want to call me. But I have one problem with that title. I don’t feel like I should be called a grandmother. You see my momma was a grandma, who my daughter called grams. My momma was such a wonder grandmother. You seen some…

Desquamation

I don’t think in my upwards of 40 surgeries I’ve seen my scars or sutures peel like this. I have put some of my Miracle Oil on it twice a day in hopes it lessens their appearance.

Microcephaly, is it what you don’t know what you fear the most?

Originally posted 2016-02-01 13:43:35. As most may know this has been in the news a lot lately. What some of you may not know is that my son was also born with microcephaly. Yes, I admit when I was young I didn’t know what to expect with my child having this. I opted to give him up for adoption. Ultimately, I decided to raise my son the best way I knew how. He wasn’t diagnosed…

Exploring Unique Anniversary Jewelry at Beverly Diamonds for 20th Anniversary

This is my 18th year of being married. Our anniversary is September first. We both say we are going to do “bigger” for our 20th anniversary so naturally I have been looking for that “bigger” LMAO So I have just been browsing and came across some things on Beverly Diamonds. I’ve never purchased from them before but I just liked their website educating the consumer on the facts of diamond, moissanite, and lab grown. I…

Do you remember?

You know I sit here on what seems like 5th day this week, inside, we look out of the window on to a weary damp Friday… I am watching the movie Remember the Titans with Denzel Washington, Will Patton, Ryan Hurst, Ryan Gosling, and Wood Harris (just to name a few). As you know my husband is black, “african american”, or whatever you choose to label him. He just happens to have more melanin than…
