Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! What an exciting year it has been. I finish putting wrapping and bows on the presents under the tree, making sure that I leave enough room for Santa. I checked googles’ Santa tracker and NORAD. I normally go with NORAD, I am just saying that they need to […]

I wonder if I keep saying it, one day it will come true… “It will be worth it one day”
Over the last few days, I have been Looking over my “on this day…” on my Facebook feed. I am reminded of this time last year when I was at the start of my deep depression. I held the smiling mask for months over my tear streaked face, so the world world did not see. […]
Life is a competition, yet I am not interested in Competing with anyone. I am running my own marathon. I am not running against anyone but time. I am not interested in being better than anyone else. I am honest, strait forward, and put others before myself. I wear my heart on my sleeve, and […]

I have been holding on to an announcement for a while, but I am officially announcing: I am available to help you and your special person start your life together.
I have often said “the one thing that I want people to say about me, is ‘because of her, I did not give up’” The past few months I have wanted to give up each step of the way. I have spent hours, thinking about what I am going to do with my future. I have […]
I just got the call I wanted more than anything…the call that I waited months for. I got a call to interview for a New Graduate position, on the observation unit at the very hospital that I work for. It was one of my top 3 positions I wanted more than anything. I guess with […]
When the world feels upside down, you can only hope that it is temporary. My world has been upside down for the past 8 weeks, but that is not really true. That is a lie. My world has been upside down for the past several years. I have been waiting for the glasses to be […]
