I've always loved to write. As I kid, I sat at the old broken laptop and painstakingly pressed each key and typed out the story of my limited life and experience with chickens. (And I was so proud when I spelled computer correctly). As a tween, I would write for hours a day and create … Continue reading Phases of a Caffeinated Writer

In Bondage To Numbers
I hesitate to write this post because it’s a topic that I’m very sensitive about. I don’t like talking about it, I don’t like that my friends have to deal with it and I’d completely avoid it if I could. But I can’t. Because it’s an important subject that has to be talked about. *deep … Continue reading In Bondage To Numbers
A World That No Longer Makes Sense
Tonight I came to the conclusion that life doesn’t make sense. I look around at this broken world and I wonder what happened? Where did the joy go? Why is there so much suffering and so little hope to combat it? Why is evil so prevalent and why does good seem so small? Is it … Continue reading A World That No Longer Makes Sense
To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
You’re lonely in a room full of people. You watch companionship from a distance and feel empty arms embrace you. Sometimes a single tear, sometimes a torrent, rushes down your hallow cheeks and stings your bruised lips. As you walk by rows of perfect people, you hang your head but still feel their stinging eyes … Continue reading To the misfits, the outcasts, the broken and the scarred
Why It’s Ok To Ask Why
For a very long time, I was under the impression that if I asked “why” or “how long” or if I was sad or angry about something that happened in life, then I was a terrible Christian. Because “good” Christians aren’t supposed to wonder why bad things happen. They’re just supposed to suck it up, … Continue reading Why It’s Ok To Ask Why
You Are Not Labels
There are so many labels out there. Mental Illness. Depression. Chronic Illness. Addiction. Pain. Grief. Loss. All of these names are fine in and of themselves. They are meant to help someone understand what they are dealing with. I know from experience that having a diagnosis is a great relief. You don’t have to wonder … Continue reading You Are Not Labels
Sunshine To A Dark World
The world can seem really dark at times. When pandemics happen. When people get sick. When friends suffer. When life doesn't go the way that we had hoped. When the clouds block out the sun. How can we bring light back when these things happen? How can we make the world a brighter place? I … Continue reading Sunshine To A Dark World
2020 – A Year Of Hope
Photo by icon0.com on Pexels.com Last year, just before the New Year, I wrote a blog post called 2020 – My New Year’s Hope. It was hard to publish because it was very raw, honest and real. 2019 had been a really tough year. I was struggling with a lot of things. Among them was … Continue reading 2020 – A Year Of Hope
Snowflakes and Butterflies
I've wanted to write this for a while, but I haven't been able to put it all into words. And I doubt I will be able to now, but hey, I'm giving it a shot. 😉 I actually wrote part of this back in March when my family was out on an errand and I … Continue reading Snowflakes and Butterflies
Marks of Hope
I thought it would get easier as time went by. But I’m still a freak show. Children point and whisper, a few even whimper and begin to cry. Sometimes people laugh and crack cruel jokes. Most just walk past quickly with their heads down and pretend not to have seen me. Everywhere I go, the store, the movies, church even, I’m an outcast – avoided and overlooked. I make people uncomfortable by the skin that I’m forced to live in every moment of every day.
New Hope {Guest Post}

My God heard my voice, Showered me with His love, Sent eternal hope Pouring from above. Now I live for Him … Continue reading New Hope {Guest Post}
