How do you define your own heritage? I don’t like using the word race due to all the hate and bigotry behind it. But when you get down to it, can you REALLY narrow down your heritage to just ONE place? It’s so rare in modest modern countries because of all the traveling that people have done. I […]
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 […]
I’ve been learning a lot about myself in the past few weeks. My current job situation is none and I’m educating myself on a new career! In that, I read a book called “The Birth Order Book” by Dr. Kevin Leman. Have you ever wondered about why you are the way you are and how […]

An open letter to my little niece, CB. Dear CB, Today is April 5th, 2016 and we are desperately anticipating your arrival. You have started to stir and are due at any moment. We weren’t expecting you for at least another week. I’m actually going to get to see you for the first time in […]
