De-Cluttering My Role as a Stepmother by Nacho-ing
All motherhood journey’s come with their own unique challenges, and opportunities.

My Thoughts on Religion & Discovering Truth For Myself in Perennial Wisdom

So It Came Back To You, But Do You Want It?
When my ex came back around, I knew it was for a reason. That reason was different than what I thought. If you have ever paid attention to Enneagram, this 10 year on and off again cycle with my now ex-fiancé had Enneagram 6w5 written all over it. A 6 is a Loyalist or otherwise…
I’m Not Looking For Your Answers, I’m Finding My Own
Your answers to my problems…No Your advice…No Your transparency on your own life…Yes Your support…Yes There can be a dark side to blogging and sharing some pretty fundamental life lessons. People will swoop in and try to save, fix or “help” you. Thats the thing about blogging, I don’t write when I have questions…I write…
