Finding My Writing Flow & Flow Between Priorities
I have been thinking over the past weeks since my last post that it has been awhile, what do I want to write about. I have had so many ideas, but I haven\’t put my fingers to the keys.

This year because all ourContinue reading “Spring is Here ~ Sinking My Roots in Deeper”
My Beautiful Scar
I used to not think my c section scar was beautiful. Truth be told, some of it was because I couldn\’t see it. Like, even when I looked in the mirror, I couldn\’t actually see it.
