Now you all know I’ve got a special needs child and you can probably imagine that it’s not an easy job to be a good mother to her. Every day is filled with challenges and difficulties that most people can’t even fathom. Silly things like having to feed them special food to having to change… Read More

There is an old curse that goes,”May you live in interesting times.” And boy do I feel like I have lived through a couple of those. There is nothing wrong or bad, about change, or even a couple of speed bumps in the road to slow us down and make us think. However this year… Read More

I’ve seen many articles trying to describe depression. None of those articles really catches the crux of the issue well enough in my opinion.

For those who don’t know me well, I have a rather strict “take no shit” policy where people in my life are concerned. It took a long time. For the first four decades of my life, I was the pleaser I told you about in a previous post. Keeping them in my life was my… Read More
