I’m not going to lie, when I first got my job I thought about not telling anyone except my close family and friends. Why? Because honestly, a part of me was embarrassed. After proudly boasting about quitting my previous job to pursue freelance writing and working on my book I felt like I was giving up…

      I’ve hit a roadblock. I’ve approached a place in my life where I don’t know what is going to happen next and no matter how much planning or strategizing I’ve been doing I can’t seem to find my way to the other side of this blockage that’s going on. I’ve had days…

I sat quietly at my desk. I leaned closer to the computer so no one could see the tears that were now pouring down my face. After several months of surviving without a dreaded “day job” I had to swallow my pride and begin working again. The problem wasn’t working in itself that bothered me….

Were they even in a real relationship? You overhear your best girlfriends say as you grip on to a box of kleenex with one hand and tub of ice-cream in the other. You pretend not to hear them as you continue balling your eyes out, wishing it didn’t hurt so bad. No, you weren’t in…

These stories involve premarital sex, abortion, miscarriage, rape, stds, teenage pregnancy, abuse, infidelity, virginity and marriage as well as…

Recently I read a post about being transparent and it really resonated with me. Previously I told you all my relationship story of when I was in an unhealthy relationship from 17 to almost 20 years old. What I didn’t tell you was what happened afterwards. If you haven’t read it, you can check it…
