Presenting Your Representative vs. Your Authentic Self
Why do we do this? Why do we have such a hard time looking ourselves in the mirror? Acknowledging both the good and the bad? Your identity is something that forms the foundation of who you are, but when you don't really understand who you are we feel pressured to present our picture perfect representative.

The WHY behind my 3-year blogging break and how affirmations saved my sanity
As much as I love to write, when I began to put fingers to computer keys I couldn't find the words. I was looking for words to begin to express my feelings, my heart, my emotions behind this story.

Mom Shame Be Gone: Start Embracing Freedom In Christ Today
It’s 7:30 pm and the kids are playing no actually they’re fighting, quite loudly might I add, and here I am frustrated, fatigued, and feeling useless because it’s the third time this week that we are having frozen pizzas. Yep, there it goes again: Mom Shame. Why do we do this to ourselves? As if carrying a tiny human inside of you for months, bringing him/her into the world through painful labor, caring for them day in and day out, wasn’t enough.
