Reminding Myself

Originally posted 2021-04-16 09:00:00. I saw this meme this morning and it was so right! Over the years I was searching for love. It seemed I was so desperate to find love I was taking whatever came my way. I would “love” them (or pretend to) way more than they ever deserved from me. I didn’t love them, I loved the idea of what I thought was love. I wanted so much to be loved…

Emotional forgiveness

Originally posted 2018-04-04 11:36:32. Have you ever seen a movie or video that was fictional but touched you so deeply internally? One that you felt on so many levels? There were so many parts of the movie that you personally felt like it was you they portrayed in the movie? Even if it wasn’t exactly aligned with your own life? For me, that is this movie.

Mental Memory, Physical Moments

Originally posted 2016-11-14 13:33:22. My husband and I were talking the other day about the things in my past.

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.

You see my momma was a grandma, who my daughter called grams. My momma was such a wonder grandmother. You seen some…
