You know all those hints I’ve been dropping about an AMAZING giveaway? Well, the time is FINALLY HERE!

It’s the most beautiful and exquisite custom jewelery that …Continue Reading…

And no, not for the reason you’re thinking. Valentine’s day with my husband is usually quite romantic and fun.

But this year, with M in school, it’s a whole new ball game.

Reason?

M has a bully (I know, my daughter and I really have something in common this week).

The problem? …Continue Reading…

Thank you- and to those who have already been contacted, I am so sorry for  the harassment you are experiencing. I can assure you it is in the process of being handled.

You (my readers) are all  so wonderful for your support and I appreciate your words of encouragement. I never thought that posting my life story to help others, would be so messy (for lack of a better term).

Much love,

My purse was stolen in my local Kroger store.

I had my purse hooked into my cart (I actually take the handle of my purse and slip it through the kiddy harness in the seat section) and my hot pink corduroy jacket flung over it.

I turned to pick up a roast for one second, and apparently the woman couldn’t get my purse unhooked in that time frame, so she took off with my entire cart. So when I looked up, my cart was gone.

The place was packed, so I used some simple thinking. I screamed at the top of my lungs “SOMEONE …Continue Reading…

To all of my internet friends, acquaintances, family and in-real-life friends,

Thank you.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your love, support and understanding. I would reply personally to each and every one of you, but honestly, I can’t make it through typing three words without crying my eyes out. To the point where I can’t see the screen any more.

The outpouring of community to my post where I bared my deepest, darkest secrets and moments- touched me, and renewed my faith in the human race. I heard from people who I had not heard from in years, and even from people who I would have never expected to reach out to me and share their stories of abuse and depression.

When I first posted my story, I honestly expected a lot of nay-sayers and rage, because it’s what I have always dealt with. The only negative comments I received were from my former abuser herself. And I won’t be posting them.

I never thought in my wildest dreams that so many of you would stand up with me. Your words of encouragement and love have helped my recovery so much. I never knew that writing and sharing my story would help me so much- and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

While what I wrote was a way to share my story- to bring light to unlikely abuse, I was also selfish. It was a way for me to get out what I had kept inside for so many years. And let me tell you, it was like a flood gate being opened. I felt extreme emotions when I clicked on post. But not one of them was regret.

I am so lucky to have this blog as a way to communicate with all of you.

Sorry if this post was all over the place… I just wanted to say thank you. I think I covered that a few times.
