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…
if frogs had wings
I published my book! I’m super excited y’all. This is the first in a series and it’s a humorous and poignant dramatic look at my life as a child. I’ve quoted the book before in one or two blog posts—it involves a journey out of innocence and into a world I was not ready for….
When Everything You Touch Goes To Hell
How to Navigate Life At Its Worst Photo by CHUTTERSNAP on Unsplash Is it just me? The other day I was in one of the booths I operate in the town I live in. I have three of them, and I sell vintage items, art, antiques — things like that. I just finished what I considered a fantabulous…
He Drove His Tractor
He couldn’t see ten feet in front of him. That’s what we always say down here in the South when someone’s vision is impaired. In this case, I’m not sure exactly how far he could see but I suspect it can’t be measured by feet. The Bible says, “Do not withhold good from those to…
