If you haven’t been following along, here is the super short version: Baby is born in England with medical needs. England says, “baby won’t survive, let baby die.” Parents have no say. Parents fight in court. American doctor finally (after almost 2 months) gets to see him. Charlie’s brain is too far gone. Parents decide […]
It’s funny, when you look at someone else’s life you either see: the grass is greener or I’m kicking ass at life. With social media, it doesn’t help that most people only want to show you their “perfect world” and how they are winning at adulting. But really, who is?! Honestly, my credit card debt […]
Dear Little Sugar, You have lived a life of fear, not knowing when you might get hit or touched, called names or yelled at. You walked on eggshells hoping they might forget you exist.

I feel like every time you read a story or watch a movie about Christians they are so cheesy or glossed over that you can’t say, “Oh my gosh… I can see myself in them.” I want to tell you about Tavish Owen. Now, I know I said I wouldn’t use real names on my […]
Words have escaped me as I have been walking through life for months now and today I realized that I was lost and didn’t even know it. Today my niece was rushed to urgent care for a rash that we think is Petechiae. All of the reasons that cause the blood to raise to the […]
“Where do you see yourself in 5 years?” Isn’t that one of the worst questions to hear?? I HATE that question! I mean, five years ago when I was 23 years old I thought that by 28 I would have: Married Full time career Adopted 1 (maybe 2) kid Owned a home Owneda dog New […]
In the midst of such crazy times, I want to tell you a story. Before I start this story, I want to remind you that if you have not yet read any of my other posts, please do. This will help you understand me, my tone and my personality. If this is your first post […]
