New love is more infatuation than sacrifice. Do not get me wrong, there is a glorious awakening of the heart when new love blooms. … Continue reading True Love

What I Know
I sit here, not knowing what to write. My newsfeeds are full of political statements. My friends are on both sides of the aisle.

When I was a kid, I remember listening for the snow. At some point in my young life, I had realized that it eliminates some sounds and insulates others.

Practicing Self-Care
I didn’t plan to start the new year in crisis mode.
