    I know What Love Feels Like!

    It’s nothing like taking a stroll down memory lane; for some this brings about good memories, while for others, not so good memories. I had the opportunity to go home this past weekend. I was able to spend time with my family and enjoyed every bit of it. I went to my home church on Sunday, and as I enjoyed the service I looked around and was in awe! I could really feel the love in that room. I began to think of how blessed I am, I know what love feels like. While home, I felt the love of family, friends, and my church family. It was a wonderful…

Because I never got a chance to meet my grandparents, any of them, not on my mother’s side or my father’s side. All were deceased by the time I was born, so for me all I have are the stories…

    It’s Okay to Ask for Help!

    A moment of transparency *sigh*, I do not like asking for help! There, I said it! Lol. Now, there are times when I feel a little better when asking: 1) I’m asking someone to whom I am close to or comfortable with, 2) I absolutely have to (I suck it up). There are times when I mess up royally, and in those times it makes it even more difficult to ask; not because I have a hard time admitting my faults, but because I don’t feel others should be dragged into it with me. A few weeks ago, I came to the realization, we all need help sometimes and it’s…
