The sun is blazing and summer is officially here! I will crank off my summer blogging with a mini relationship series.

Awakening Love
Whether you are pro Valentine's Day or anti-Valentine's Day, we have all experienced some form of "love." I intentionally typed love in quotes because my description of love may not look like your description of love.

If Only 2018 was a Dream
Despite achieving an amazing milestone of earning my master's degree with honors while working full time and being a single mother, I yearned for 2018 to end.

Hidden Pain: Being the “Strong” Friend
This was placed on my heart to write about 3 weeks ago. I kept putting it off because I'm currently in a rough season. I'm in a space where week after week, it's something else.
