Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is refreshing, uplifting, purifying, and a cleanser for the body and home! How can one little oil do all this? Crazy, right? BUT IT DOES! This is one of the many reasons I love these essential oils.

The Day I Learned Racism Existed

My daughters used to tell me I was naive because I was admittedly surprised by stories of blatant racism. Now, they are seen and heard everywhere on television and social media. I still don’t understand how it could even be going on in this day and age. But here we are – this country is at war.

The Declaration of Independence and Today

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Honoring Our Freedom Fighters

Here we are at another Memorial Day weekend. The day we remember the people who have fought and lost their lives to protect our freedoms here in America, as well as many other countries around the world.

Walking Thru This Emotional Rollercoaster

I need to get off of this freaking ride. This week marks one month of quarantine and the roller coaster continues. Maybe I could call this post more ramblings of a madwoman?

The Day The World Changed

I pray for the time this will all end, but while that is not going to happen any time soon, I have new hope for the world in which we are living. I have to believe it will be better! Today, I don’t want to write about the reality we are living in, I want to talk about hope and change.

Quarantine: Ramblings of a Madwoman

It’s been constant work on my mental stability as the news continues to get worse, and the hits keep coming. Every time I get over one bit of bad news, the next one comes. The quarantine rules keep changing and growing. Up and down, up and down. Is this the apocalypse? It is all feels so surreal, but I am not going there today!
