Whispers To The Soul – You Are Enough: Embracing Self-Love Beyond Judgment – Series

Ever since the first moments of being teased in elementary school, we’ve all wrestled with covering up the things about us that others could easily see.

The tragedy is how rarely we are reminded that we are kind, beautiful, and worthy—how seldom we are told we need not hide.

The Girl Left Behind – The Last Morning I Saw My Mother Alive – Series

The last morning I saw my mother alive, she carried herself with a strange kind of quiet, as if the world was holding its breath.

Nothing about the day announced itself as different, yet looking back, I can see how the silence settled like a shadow over the house.

I woke to the smell of bacon drifting through the kitchen, a scent that has never left me.

When I walked in, the four of us—Mom, Aunt Connie, George, and me—sat together around the small table, bathed in the soft […]
