At my age, I never expected to be alone. I thought I would be happily married and enjoying life. But here I am single, but happily enjoying life. I am amazedly happy and content where I am at this moment. The one thing that I am realizing is there is a reason why I am alone at this time. I know that I never have to settle for just anyone anymore, because I have dealt with self esteem issues. I

This is something I wrote in 2008. It is good to look back and see how far we have come. I did not post this on this blog, but it is something I wanted to repost. You never know who needs some encouragement.

Are you mad? Are you are bitter? Do you hate someone? Do you feel wronged? Think about how that is affecting you; mind, body and soul. So the person that claimed they loved you left. The person who said they wouldn't hurt you did. The person that was supposed to be your friend stabbed you in the back. You can not control the actions of others unfortunately. I was taught this a few years

For a long time, I have been ashamed of things that have happened to me in my past. People can make you feel this way when you are the victim. It is so easy to blame the victim because we do not want to believe the perpretrator can do anything wrong. They show themselves as being an upstanding person of the community. But abusers come in all forms whether sexual or physical. This is the role

Happy Monday to everyone. I hope your weekend was great. I caught up on some much needed sleep.  I thought I would share some inspirational songs with you today to help you get through the week. I always felt that music does a lot for the soul. Sometimes we need an extra push to get us through the day dealing with so many trials and tribulations. I am sharing some of the songs that get

RAINN has a great new Online Hotline that provides free, live and confidential help, 24/7 at online.rainn.org. It doesn't matter if the assault took place yesterday, last year, or 10 years ago, they are there to help anyone who has been affected by sexual violence.

"Don't limit yourself. Many people limit themselves to what they think they can do. You can go as far as you mind lets you. What you believe, you can achieve." ~ Mary Kay Ash It is never too late to pursue your dreams. This came to my mind this morning when I was opening up some items that had come in for my new soon to be store. Just looking at the postcards, t-shirt, banner, and car

When my mother passed away unexpectedly in November, it was really devastating for me. My whole world changed. I had to change my whole way of thinking and how I view the world. I had to adjust to having another child in my house ( I had to take in my 10 year old sister). I expected my mother to be around another 30 to 40 years. But we can not control many things that happen in life. My

So many times after someone has hurt us, we hold on to that hurt. Unfortunately it tends to eat many of us up inside. Many people become bitter while others take up addictions to cover the pain. What many people do not understand is that they have lost their power. When we hold on to hurt, that person that victimized us continues to hurt us. They also retain power and control over us because we

How do we balance yes and no appropriately? By saying no to the things that are not good for you, and yes to the things that are good for you.      Learning to establish boundaries is a big step in taking your power back from someone who has hurt you. It is sometimes very hard to set boundaries with people you love and care about. It is very important to not only set
