It’s Mother’s Day weekend and I already have the best gift I could have asked for. I’m so incredibly grateful for what she brought into my world. Not sure what I did to get this winning lottery ticket of a person in my life. Don’t pinch me because being her Mom is a dream come […]
She and I have been talking a lot about gratitude lately. Having to be a single parent, who really has to prioritize time and money is a huge change for us. I try not to feel bad about it, but it gets me from time to time when I know I just can’t. When you […]
“Remember… you were always the gold, Ivonne” thank fuck for friends who do their best to remind you.

We were both there when we met. We were both there when we chose to unite our lives. We were there when our amazing child came into the world. And we were there when we both put ink to paper, choosing to close the chapter of our marriage. Together. “It is one of the hardest […]
It’s Thanksgiving morning, the skies are windy and stormy. Water in the sky. It’s a bittersweet lullaby, the silence of solitude and the light echoes of feline paws touching the floor… and the thoughts race, not so silently.
