During that time, my Aunt was in a coma and my… Continue reading Forgetting what is behind & straining toward what is ahead..

As I signed those dreaded divorce papers, I also signed my name off the deed of our house and farm. I felt as if my son and I were supposed to move back to my hometown. It made sense in my mind, move closer to family and friends. I began to search for houses on… Continue reading Bloom where you are planted..
