red sofa uterine lining

Not blogging for a stretch of time is always incredibly difficult for me. These past few days have been all over the place. Last Friday I became incapacitated by one of the worst migraines I have ever known. I was overcome with pain and it was so bad I do what I sadly always do ...

woman on bench

In everyone's heart there is an ugliness. The ugly sleeps deep, where some of us might not know it exists. More often than not, we know of the ugliness and we keep it hidden, secret. The ugly is a part of us many are not proud of, or try to convince ourselves is ...
