What's To Come...?

-

I have been doing so much thinking, praying, and planning. I have dreams and goals that I can't put off any longer. I started by getting back in school, so I could finally finish my degree. I started off a bit rocky, but I stayed focus and now I am doing so great. I will have my degree finished in one more year and I plan to have my own business up and running well before then. I plan to take this blog to the next level. I have had so many ideas for what I really wanted it to be and it was all just too much at first I believe. My dreams and ideas were larger than I was ready for or that my anxiety was ready for. Now I have come up with what I really want, I am so ready to get there. I have been creating a peaceful and calming space where I can work and create and achieve my goals. I really want to do some great things. I know I have some great ideas. I just must stay focused and execute what I have dreamed up in my head. It all sounds so simple, but it can be so scary. I reached out to someone that I have been following on social media to be somewhat of a mentor to me on this journey. I am so in awe of her drive and work. She agreed to help me out and I am so excited about that. To succeed in life, we must surround ourselves with successful people. And one day I hope to be the successful person that someone asks to help them out in their dreams...

A Good Mother

Being a mom is such a beautiful thing. I have been one for 10 years and I truly do enjoy it. However, it has not always been that way. I had my oldest daughter 2 weeks before I turned 21. I was stuck in the middle of wanting to be a mom and wanting to live life with my friends. I was in college and not working with a daughter to take care of. I didn't really have a mom growing up so being one was so foreign to me. I loved my daughter from the moment I saw her, I just didn't know how to grasp that "she is the most important thing now" concept.  As time went on, I got better as a mother. At age 24, I was becoming a mother for the second time with another daughter. I truly believe I was given daughters to form better versions of me. It just took me a long time to realize that. Even though I had become a   better mom, it was in the sense that I was more intuitive to their needs and that I was beginning to understand that no one was going to take care of them but me. So...

Strawberry Cheesecake Turnovers

I am so in love with the strawberry and crème pies that they have at McDonald's that I had to find an easy recipe to make my own at home. Plus, I knew if I made them at home I would get over my extreme craving for them. I googled and googled different recipes and after going through about 10 of them, I decided to just try something out and see what I would come up with. I love sweets and especially sweets that I can make on my own and do so easily. Enjoy this recipe and please leave comments and pictures if you try at home :) Also.... Share Subscribe Ingredients: ·          Philadelphia Ready to Eat Cheesecake Filling   (I found at Walmart where the cream cheese is) ·          Small Flour Tortillas (any brand) ·          Strawberry Filling (any brand) ·          Vegetable Oil ·    ...

The Art of Forgiveness

-
When it comes to forgiveness, we have had our back and forth. Growing up as a child in an abusive home, I forgave every time it happened. As a quiet little girl who was picked on and bullied in school, I forgave. I would still try to be friends with those kids. I was the poster child for forgiveness. Then something changed in me. By the age of 13, you couldn’t look at me in a bad way and think I’d speak to you again. Forgiveness was nonexistent in my life. And that is no exaggeration. I can remember that as a teenage girl and young adult, my mottos were “I carry grudges like I carry my purse, and I take my purse EVERYWHERE.”   And “Jesus forgives, not ME!” If I felt like someone wronged me in anyway, I would be done with them. No need to say sorry or apologize in anyway. You would be wasting your breath. I remember a time when I was 21, my father said something to me over the phone that I didn’t like. I hung up the phone on him and didn’t speak to him for about 8 years....
