Overcome the Hate with Love

I am just going to have to come out of my bubble for a minute. Get my head out of the sand!  It isn’t as though I don’t know messed up shit happens in this world, I DO KNOW!   I just don’t want to watch it or hear about it anymore.  It can seriously ruin your mental health. 

leukemia Diagnosis & Joey: Part 2

After 2 hours in the ambulance, we arrive at the Medical University of South Carolina Children’s Hospital.  I honestly don’t remember much about that arrival, except the greeting by the nurses on the floor.  They were expecting us.

Sometimes I Just Want to be Alone

Monday, June 25, 2018: Today I had a rough day.  It started yesterday.  I figured my mood was because I was exhausted.  I usually stay up all night editing my blog over and over until it is just right or until I can’t look at it anymore because I am going to be ill.  In my head, it has to be perfect.  Yesterday I didn’t want to do anything.  Why can’t you have one day where nobody wants anything from you and doesn’t ask any questions and quite honestly, doesn’t even know your name?  +8

Father’s Day Love to the Dads and Father’s

I say Dads and Fathers because there is a different connotation between the names.  Father is a more respectful name and portrays an authority figure.  Dad insinuates sweetness, more of a gentle person, always there with a hug and a shoulder to cry on.   Whichever you have or are, Happy Father’s Day! +5

Menopause and the Mid-Life Crisis

This is a perfect subject because I believe you have to see the humor to get through menopause. Otherwise, it may become a viable reason for defense in a court of law for why we may physically hurt people during these years…

Pride, Joy, and Love: An Introduction to My Roberta

June is National Pride Month, when we honor the struggle for equal rights and celebrate the LGBTQ+ community, it seemed fitting to talk about the story of how I learned Roberta was part of that community.

Prevention of Addiction: My Other Child

Happy Sunday my friends! I was overwhelmed by the response and amount of views on last week’s post and I thank you so much for the support! The feedback lead me to believe there was a need to continue the conversation about addiction and psychological disorders. This week I am going to discuss prevention. How we are going to try to prevent another one of my children, Isabella, from a co-occurring disorder.
