Home: a 4 letter word with more meaning than most other words in the human language. What does home mean to you? To me, home is where my animals are, & where I spend time with my loved ones creating memories and sharing love and laughter together. Home is 4 paws and a heartbeat, home …

If Love Was Enough
50 years ago today, my sweet, beautiful, charismatic mother was born. Two years and two months ago, she was taken from me. From us.

The first? Saying goodbye to my mama. It's hard, because I live alone, meaning I'm spending 24 hours a day, 7 days a week …
Finding My Strength

The Physical Manifests of Grief
Loving this instagram. Glitter and Grief I may not be an expert on grief. But I’m becoming an expert on MY grief. What I’m learning is, don’t ever tell someone how to grieve nor judge them for the ways in they process their grief. Until you have lived through what they have, you cannot even …
