Every single person we meet in our lives is a character in our life story. While there might be several thousand people you come across in any given year, there are only so many basic types of personalities. Add life experiences, individual choices, and quirks, and boom! You have a diverse population. I take pieces […]

I *Thought* I Was the Teacher
I have come to realize that our children tend to teach us far more than we will ever teach them. At least, that’s been the case with me and my kids. They have taught me what love actually means to me. They have made me question my values, my priorities, my thought processes, my actions, […]
Happy Halloween!
Every year I hear people talk about what a crazy year it has been; though, I think 2020 beats most years for that title, at least in my lifetime. The year started with plenty of memes and excitement about how many holidays fell on weekends, such as Halloween. This year Halloween brings a full moon, […]
When One Side Falls (Triangle: Part 3)
One late night, about a month after the text, I was talking to a friend about Triangle and how heartbroken I was. I was still seeing him, but much less frequently.

I used to see movies or hear about girl’s trips, but had never really experienced one until I started going with this […]

Have you ever done one of those sip and paint classes? I had wanted to try one for a few years. Several friends and I always planned on doing it “one day,” which let’s face it, never comes. However, about a year and a half ago, one of my friends and I went. We actually […]
Scott Benson and Fatherhood
The first book being released is centered around Scott, a single father. I know quite a few single fathers who are incredibly active in their children’s lives and wouldn’t have it any other way, despite how the courts or media would like to portray it. For that reason, I’ve decided to write a little bit […]
