Waiting On God It’s so hard. It’s easy to think our only obligation is to ask God for something and just wait to see it happen. Or to see IF it happens. And in the event we don’t get what we ask for, we say, “I guess it just wasn’t in God’s plans.” God’s plans….

If you believe that we are all given a set of gifts and talents that are uniquely ours, you are in the right place! I love to use what God gave me to encourage and build you up so that you can discover what you are the best at and love doing! I'm here to show you how to step out of your comfort zone, because I'm sure as heck out of mine!

The Voices in My Head
Turns Out They’re a Memory Trying to Burst Through All this time, and I mean since childhood, I thought I was fighting off a mental illness. I’d be going about my life in as normal of a way as I can (I’m not normal, but I’m not crazy either), and all of a sudden I…
Who Are the People in Your Bullyhood?
They’re the People That You Meet Each Day The thing about having once been the victim of bullying is that you don’t forget. I don’t care the level of bullishness you experienced, whether it be mild or severe, it’s something that sticks with you for life. So, when it rolls around again, you don’t fail…
The Solitary Person
I’m Okay, I Promise Some of us exist inside ourselves, and although we love those we love fiercely and without the reserve we save for the rest of the universe, we don’t always reach out to them in normal lines of communication because we are complete within ourselves. It’s not that we don’t need anyone…
Bullies and Trolls
It’s No Wonder Our World Is In Trouble Once upon a time, people went out of their way to be considerate to others. No? Well, that’s the way I remember it. Long before social media, if you had a conversation, it was either on the phone or face to face, and you couldn’t really say…
Dumbing Myself Down
My Response to Being Slightly Bullied I don’t remember a time after 8th grade until recently when I showed my true self to the world, and that was decades ago. Eighth grade is when it all got too big for me, and I needed to make a move or crumble beneath the weight of negative…
Gratitude and Frogs
I Saved a Life Today More specifically, I saved a frog’s life today. You’d think he would’ve been a little bit more grateful, but he just sat there and stared at me for the longest time. I mean, it could’ve been because it took me so long, but in my defense, I thought he’d already…
Unwrinkled Lives
Is That Even A Thing? I’m beginning to believe some people are charmed and live unwrinkled lives. Not like me. My life is real wrinkled up and I’m sure anybody who’s looking can tell that. I don’t mean my skin. It’s not too bad given my years on this earth. What I’m talking about goes…
You Just Have To Do It
Stop Waiting for Somebody to Do It For You No one else will. That’s what I found out. Not just recently either, but sometimes these little bits of wisdom take a long time to sink in with me. In July, I published my first book on Amazon KDP—YAY ME!!!! To say I’m excited is an…
The Pain That Grew Me
Hurt is a Character Builder It’s not a fact we like to face or talk about often, but the hurt and hardships in our lives are the driving force behind the molding of our human character and the strength of our human hearts. You might say that brokenness births greatness at times, or at the…
