God & Grief ( My Testimony )

-
Hi Friends!                  I can’t believe it’s April already!        I know I haven’t posted in a while but I have had a lot going on personally and just taken a bit of a much needed break.           I know I’ve talked about it on here before but if you’re new in August of 2021 the day after my birthday, I lost my grandfather and I had a very special relationship with him so needless to say my world was turned upside down. The following April I lost my sweet Camille so that didn’t help as I was already majorly grieving the loss of my grandfather. I’m the type of person that when they feel, they feel very deeply and strongly about it. On April 5th was the second anniversary of the loss of Camille and this year will be three years since the loss of my grandfather in August on the 7th which is the day after my birthday.           Last month I was on instagram and a video from a page that I did not follow popped up. It was a video that talked about grief so I liked it. A few days later

See You Later Matty

 Hello Everyone                 Before I start I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and is having a great new year so far. Back in 2022 I was chosen to be apart of a book launch and it was amazing. It got me back into reading which was something I once loved very much but kinda lost my love for so I was so happy to get it back. I wrote about my review and published it on my blog along with everywhere else I could. I feel book reviews can be helpful most of the time because everyone has a different way of understanding books and how they perceive it. This year I’m trying to read more books than I ever have.  Even though I was born after the show Friends first came out and I didn’t start watching it until I got older, I still absolutely love the show. It’s one of my favorites and I quote it quite often. It’s my go to show when I need a really good laugh. I have been a fan of each main cast member from friends for a long time but I always loved Matthew Perry. I always thought he was a

Holiday Feelings

-
    Hi Friends!                The pain of grief has hit me harder than ever this December so that’s why I haven’t posted lately! I know I will always struggle with it but I have found it hitting me harder than ever  this time of year.  I have struggled to find my love for decorating for the holidays this year but I did indeed decorate. I’m the type of person that when they feel something, they feel it deeper so when emotions arise from my personal feelings from all of the grief then I find it more complicating. I’m glad some people are able to just simply move on from a loss but I most certainly am not one of those and I will continue to be vocal about my grief while not being ashamed of it.  In the midst of all the chaos of grief not to mention the typical holiday chaos I find myself getting    wrapped up watching a good holiday movie to cheer myself up with my dogs who are my world. If you know me then you know that I am a huge lover of movies especially during the holidays so I hav

One Day It Will Be Okay

-
  As I sit here listening to Hans Zimmer to help calm me down as I am trying to find the right wording for this entire post, so many things come to mind. The world recently lost a beautiful person named Matthew Langford Perry. He was and always will be well known for his role as Chandler Bing on Friends along with many other things. When I first seen the headline that he had died, I’ll be honest I didn’t want to believe it. It made me cry because I was such a huge fan. I know he had many struggles in life and that it may seem crazy I’m incredibly sad over the world losing someone I didn’t even know personally but it just has brought up so many emotions and feelings as I keep hearing about it.  It honestly just is an easy reminder of how absolutely difficult life is for some. You truly never know what someone else is going through. I’m still personally dealing with some major losses in my life. I know I will always struggle with grief but in this season of life that I’m in , it’s just s

Still In Shock!

-
 Happy October Friends!            I can’t believe we are almost through October and going into November just like that. This year sure is flying by like crazy. I’m also still in shock I have over one thousand views which is so exciting and it’s something I didn’t think was ever going to happen for me.   I just wanted to take a moment and say thank you to everyone who has been following me along on this journey. It really means a lot to me to have your support. If it were not for you I would not feel the want or need to continue my blogging journey.  I finally finished decorating for fall including my front porch! It was hard to decorate for fall because I love to decorate for Christmas more but I had fun once I finally figured out how I wanted things. Once I get an idea I tend to stick with that. I got some gorgeous mums for my porch along with a few pumpkins. For the inside I decorated my front table, my kitchen table and my mantle. I didn’t go too crazy but I’m very happy with how i

Take The Break You Need

-
  Hi friends! Exciting things have been happening. One of them is that my blog has reached over one thousand views and counting which is huge! Before I go on I just want to say thank you to each and everyone of you who reads my blog as I work very hard on each post. I appreciate your support more than you will ever know  🙏   This weekend I made a decision that it was time for a break so I packed a bag or two ( you never know what you might need  😉  ) and head to Indiana for a quick overnight visit along with my dad, since that’s where his side of the family lives. Even though it was quick I still had the best time. I did lots of laughing, I found some new shows I love to watch, I fed fish in a beautiful pond for the first time which was fun for me, I seen a pecan tree, a persimmon tree and a pear tree along with some gorgeous colorful flowers. I know that may sound silly to some but when you find new things you enjoyed learning about it’s exciting. I also am not one to typically go o

And Just Like That……….

-
  And just like that it has been two years since the world lost one of the greatest men ever. The man that the world lost was my grandfather. If you know me personally then you know that I had a very special relationship with him. It’s been very hard on my family and I.   When I first started this blog I was not sure what I would write about because I have too many ideas. I’m one of the most random people you will ever meet and I love to write. I write about how I feel. This is one of the many ways I try to channel my grief and share my pain with the world. I’m not sharing it to gain sympathy but so others know that they are not alone.  My grief journey has been quite the emotional adventure to say the very least. Most days I feel lost because I’m still so numb from the pain. I was watching a show the other day and they happened to be talking about grief. One of the ladies on the show was giving advice to another lady and she said the second year is always the hardest after losing a lo
