A woman on a mission to support other women in finding their purpose in the many seasons of life: Marriage, motherhood, career, health, and the pursuit of being the best version of themselves.
It has been about 1 year since my last writing. I’ve been quiet, waiting, listening, fighting, attempting to string together coherent words of feelings I have discovered I do not fully understand. This season is hard. Perhaps one of, if not, the hardest I have walked, stumbled, and crawled through. This is a season of …
“Are Parents Santa?” “Santa does not have a budget, the elves make the toys.” “Why do you need to see my list to Santa mom?” “Why do you keep asking me what was on my list?” “You never answered my question about you know who.” “I just want to know if he is real, it’s …
