I am getting my very first bible. I never had my own. I know as a kid, we did get to some Sunday schooling but that ended, not sure why. But I had a little pink book with a cross in a little window on the cover. I believe that was old testaments. To be honest I have no idea what happened to that. I sure wish I still had it. After I moved from my parent's home (after my mother, RIP, passed) I moved to England purely out of depression, not a great choice. I have things that I regret and that is one of them. Although on that same note the events that followed, lead me to my current husband. So as it is always said. God has a reason for everything. I truly believe that now, deeply in my heart. About the Bible, I think I wrote about it in my other blog, so I am going to copy and paste most of that part of the post. It is a New James Continue Reading
Weigh-in #18 – Rough Waters
I’m not so happy trying to lose weight on my own. I know is up to me, and I need to be strict about things. Now what I’m about to tell you, may seem like an ‘excuse’ but I am genuinely being honest about it.

I don’t like food to go to waste, and I don’t OVER indulge, but my portions have to be small if I am to Continue Reading
Has She Really Been Gone That Long?!?
Sometimes it seems like just yesterday, I would here her call out my name, wondering where I am. Twelve years later, here I am writing a blog on the day of her anniversary of her passing. Never in my wildest younger years, I thought I would lose my mom. All I have to say to you folks out there, don't take the time you have with your parents for granted. Now I'm not a silly girl, I know some people, just don't get along with one or the other or heck maybe both parents, I'm well aware of that. For some of us, we don't seem to exist to them. But aside from all that, for those of you that do have a relationship with your parents, and when I say parents, I mean adopted, foster parent, a family member or friend that took you in, and was that role model for you, try not to make the trips in between too far apart, because one day, their name will Continue Reading
