 I hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving and remembered to give Thanks for the things they have. I'm so blessed with the people in my life and the opportunity I get to do the things I love with the people I care about. I can't believe 2025 is almost over and we will be going into 2026 in about a month. Next Year is going to be a big one with all the plans I have made and my 50th birthday! I'm ready to get out with the old and in with the new! Everyone enjoy the leftovers and have a blessed day 🦃 

I am fired up right now! How can anyone think that telling someone to kill themselves is funny? Joking or not this is something that will get me in hot water because my mouth will be going off before my brain has a chance to think about it! Please don't tell me it's just words, or kids being kids or what the hell ever because people are dying everyday because of someone's words! I do believe we as humans don't truly understand the power of our words. We can make or break someone.

  I’m not perfect — and I don’t have to be. I’ve made mistakes, I’ve messed up in relationships. I’ve had days where my emotions got the best of me, and I’ve said or done things I wish I hadn’t. But here’s the thing: I don’t numb the pain. I don’t run from reality. I face it, I feel it, and I grow through it. It isn’t about being perfect — it’s about showing up every day and making the choice not to go back to what once destroyed me. I'm growing every day and year. Learning that less is more and that my boundaries matter. I don't know why some people can't seem to get that. Next year some people are in for a rude awakening with my new out look of life. All I can say is buckle up and hold on. Thankful everyday I'm not where I use to be but I also know I'm not 100% where God want me to be either. So it's time I put a little more work into that. For now I'm just happy with the progress I have been making. If you want change nothing will stand in your way and if...
