A friend of mine posted something on Facebook a while ago that made me stop and think. I think it’s great to be confident. I think it’s great to have a purpose. And I think it’s awesome to want to spread a message or improve the world. However – I didn’t agree with the way …
Beautiful Moments
My hands were numb from the cold as the chill wind whipped across my face. I had gotten up from my chair to put dinner away, when I suddenly found myself outside, camera in hand. It had been rainy and dreary the past couple days, but there was a lull in the drizzle and I …
To All the Broken-Hearted, the Childless Mothers
This is an entry I shared last year, one that I mean just as fully now as I did then… To all of you that are waiting and yearning, I’m here with you! Waiting and hopeful and loving your wonderful, patient, nurturing spirit! To all the broken hearted, the childless, the women who’ve lost a …

You start to care less what other people think and start caring more about what you think. One of the glorious awkward things about this process is …
Broken and Waiting…
For whatever reason this has been a hard topic to write on though it is always hanging on my heart. I’m the type of person that if someone asks me – I’m pretty much an open book. I’m not ashamed of my past or who I am now and I feel no embarrassment to divulge …
Writing…
You guys seem to like these, so here you go – another one of my late night free-writing entries… It’s hard for me to talk about things sometimes. Like actually sit down and share my feelings with someone. I never know how to start. The words may be there in my mind, underneath a flurry …
