The Blue Sky Tag Challenge

Hold up while I blog-nerd out for a moment. I have been nominated for my very first blogger award! [If you're anything like 3 months ago me, you're all "what the heck is a blogger award?" Here's what I know: a blogger nominates a fellow blogger for some type of award. These can vary, but …

Dear Ex-Boyfriend

Moving on from a breakup can be very difficult. While you know it's for the best, there are times you wish you could go back or that you never would have started in the first place.

RBF & The Real Epidemic

I'm walking down the hall when someone chimes "Cheer up, sunshine!"  I'm sitting at my desk when a colleague pops over the cube wall and says "Oh, it's not all bad." I'm minding my own damned business when someone teases "Hey, Grumpy Gus!" If I had a nickel for every time... RBF. I've got it. 93% …

Hope Renewed

I caught a glimpse of a rainbow this morning. Just then God whispered: "The storm is almost over."

…But I Don’t Feel Like It

I was giving God the silent treatment today. The Big Man seemed to be letting the world  push all my buttons and I was over it. OVER IT. I wasn't about to read my Bible, say any prayers, listen to Christian music, and I absolutely wasn't going to Bible study. I was making a point, darn …
