    Grief is Real!

    Loosing a love one is hard. I don’t think I ever realized how hard it was until it happened to someone close to me. Last year was a year, not just because of the pandemic but because of life. The year seemed to be off to a good start, and then it wasn’t. February 2020 I learned of my aunt’s passing. Then March 2020, my cousin came to my job (I just gotten a new job) to share with me my dad had passed away. It all happened suddenly. It’s been over a year and I find myself still in disbelief that he/she no longer here. Death can be an…

Well, Friday came and we were anxiously awaiting the call that we could leave early.

    You (Natural) + God (Supernatural) = Miracles

    When I was younger, I was so excited to get my driver’s license so I could drive. Now that I am older, I don’t have to drive at all, lol. I remember when I was in high school, my mom and I went out of town to look for a prom dress for me. The drive was only 45 minutes away, so my mom had the great idea for me to get some practice driving on the highway. I don’t remember how far I got before I was “too sleepy” to drive and my mom had to take over. LOL. Fast forward, I went to college 3.5 hours away, then…
