Holding onto Hope in the Midst of the Darkness (Reflecting).

          Growing up can be hard when your life doesn’t mirror what you’ve always pictured. In my opinion, the best thing about getting older is the wisdom you gain.

Feeling Two Things at Once (Divorce Diaries – Part 18)

          Feeling two things at once is an interesting feeling. You go from wanting to keep your distance but wanting to make sure that they’re taking care of themselves.

Just Breathe, Shake it Off and Keep Moving Forward (Divorce Diaries – Part 17)

          This week’s post will be fairly short. I was going to skip this week, but since I skipped the first Thursday after the move, I decided to go ahead and give another weekly update.
