I decided at the tender age of 40 that’s it’s time to start living the life I imagine in my head. This is something I have been doing for a long time . . . living it inside my head that is! It’s kind of like having a double life. How I live day to […]
Diary of Me
Happiness versus Obligation
I was thinking today, while I was entrenched in my work, about how as a single parent its really easy to trade of your life. Let me explain a little more. Imagine, every day going off to your job, there are bills to pay and food to buy and you tell yourself this is the […]
My NICU baby ~ a mothers experience.
I’m not sure exactly how I’m going to write this post or if I’m even ready too. It’s been almost 14 years and I have never talked about it. It was the day my daughter was born. Life changed me on that day. Its where the sadness began, its where my mind and heart learnt […]
