    April 28, 2019 - By 

    Like how vulnerability can build healthy relationships. Vulnerability is an opportunity to grow as a person and a way to find deep satisfaction in your relationships. Opening up and relinquishing your fears of rejection helps builds trust and honesty with others, fosters empathy, and builds stronger bonds. Today we learned how to have healthy relationships with friends, coworkers, and even your partners. Have you ever been struggling with something personal and then you go to church and that same thing is the topic. Vulnerability refers to “the quality or state of being exposed to the possibility of being attacked or…

    I am A Non Custodial Parent, I’m Not A Horrible Person

    February 2, 2019 - By 

    I’m a non-custodial parent. This means I don’t have physical custody of my children, though I may have legal custody. My goal here isn’t to seek pity but to shed light on what it’s like for parents who don’t have custody of their kids. Often, we picture a dad in this role, but about 10% of non-custodial parents are mothers. Many non-custodial parents are not neglectful. They simply found themselves at a disadvantage in the court system and must live with the consequences unless they have the resources to continue the fight. It’s disheartening to see parents who don’t treat…

    July 8, 2018 - By 

    You know what one of the hardest things is? Learning how to love yourself all over again. Whether you went years without self love or you were in a toxic relationship. Point being, Loving yourself is the hardest thing to train your brain to do. But once you love yourself, you can’t stop. It’s the best reward you could ever give yourself. I’m a firm believer that you should give 100% to someone when you get into a new relationship.

    January 27, 2017 - By 

    I’ve been on this whole, “taking my life back” phase for the last 3 years. I’ve never really been much of a book person, until I realized books can take your mind off of how crazy your life is or you can take a break from it. Here are 5 self help books that can help you take back your life. I just checked out the 3rd book on Amazon, it’s more of a journal type book, than an actual reading book. Those are my favorite kind. I reckon I can make a new post about it, when I get…

    15 Things I Learned One Year After My Divorce

    December 15, 2016 - By 

    I met what I thought would be the answer to all my problems. But what I didn’t know at the time is people can’t fix problems, only you can fix your own problems. One year after my divorce by far was the hardest and I survived thus far. I thought I had everything planned out for when I was separated, I was pretty naive. Then I thought once I moved to North Carolina, everything would fall into place without flaw or problems. I would have my own place, I would have a full-time job, school & parent. Yeah, boy was…

    Honestly, I haven’t been on my blog much, except when I had to do something blog related for a network or something. Otherwise, it’s been on the back burner a bit. I haven’t designed a website or anything major graphic or web design wise. I’ve done a few things on Etsy from time to time. But it’s been rather dead lately. Not that, I’ve been busy, well I have, but life has changed a bit. Not once did I think I would have the title, moms without custody… I know a few of you know, I’ve recently gone through a…
