*GIVEAWAY* Writing the Soul: 180 Degree Turn

A month or so ago I was approached to do this post.  I didn’t really know what to expect as I read the words and made sense of what was expected of me.  Tell my story?  What story would I tell?  How would I tell it?  Then it hit me…..the story of Jess and I!

Thankful Thursday 3/16

I’m having a hard time thinking about what I am not thankful for today! My kids.  Each and every one of them.  Today though, specifically the oldest.  Isaiah will be 15 next month and lucky for me will still give me a hug and tell me that he loves me!  He is such a wonderful

FBF: Someone Who Hurt You!

For those of you who have put 2 and 2 together and for those who haven’t.  I wrote the letter to Jess back in March, before I found her blogging on WordPress.  The second is a post that she wrote yesterday. I am sharing this in hopes that people can understand that things can change,
