I love Spring. Just love nearly everything about it, well except for the dangerous thunderstorms that pack tornadoes, but a spring storm that is a lot of fluff and a gentle rain, I can handle those. More often than not if it doesn't have any lightning to it I will often be found in my front yard simply enjoying the feel of its coolness on my skin. But most of all I dream of a sanctuary for my spirit and combining simplicity with beauty. I have big dreams for what I would love my yard to look … [Read more...]

So this week's topic for Monday Listicles is the 10 superpowers we have as mom's and in my case grandma's. As always Stasha is our hostess with the mostest and brings us these fun little lists each week.. 1. Eyes in the back of my head.

How to know when they or basically anyone under the age of 25 is lying to me, and of course I have no hesitation … [Read more...]

Complete not compete.. women unite
April 4, 2013 by 5 Comments
We come in all shapes and sizes, all socio-economic groups and lifestyles. The one thing we all have in common is we are women. Many of us are mothers, some have gained Grandmother status *like me*. We have endured all that life has thrown at us and still remained standing. So why, when with all the damage the world can do to us , do we feel the need to attack one another? As women we have enough of a power play with society to see us as more than just mothers and wives, housekeepers and … [Read more...]

Yesterday, for the first time in a long time, I wrote a post for Child abuse awareness and prevention month. When I first began blogging, what seems like forever ago, my own abuses were a topic often discussed on my page. I had a need for someone to see they were not alone, be it adult or child. But as I have continued to heal and grow the posts have come less and less. Not because the importance of the issue has lessened, but its hold on my life has. Because , yes it was traumatic, and life … [Read more...]
Forgiving myself forgiving my abusers.. Childhood sexual abuse awareness month
April 1, 2013 by 8 Comments
I have never made a secret about my abuse as a child, it is nothing I have to be ashamed of, despite my upbringing of secrecy. Please don't misunderstand me, there were plenty of years that I felt shame and humiliation for the things I went through. Times I believed that it was my fault, if I didn't bloom so early, if my boobs weren't so big, if I didn't this, or hadn't that. I spent so much time replaying the abuse in my head and in some instances still dealing with it in my everyday long into … [Read more...]
