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.
A friend shared this yesterday and it hit me hard, especially when you’ve been labeled and perceived to be in the “too much” camp. I’ve always said that I would rather try and fail than not try at all. Some of the best lessons I have learned have been in my failures. My mouth gets […]

Wow. Can we all agree in saying, “What. The. Fuck. Was. THAT?” 2019? You rude. Even with what feels like what was one of the most brutal years in recent history, I can’t help but be thankful for what it brought, what it revealed and what it taught me. There comes a time when 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. Never is the morning more silent than when the first of many different firsts arrive. They say […]
