Hey y'all! Long time no post! Just a short note for my cathartic self today. I woke up and realized that no matter what happens I can only change myself. The person that hurt me so deeply that I shudder when I hear his voice, has to do what he has to do. We weren't good for each other and we are much better apart. It's better for our sweet boy and our worlds not to collide. I needed to

I have struggled for some time to write about how I am feeling. One, because it is so difficult to be completely honest. Two, because it's a fear of mine that the wrong person could read this. Alas, I must do this - I must speak my mind once and for all. Why is it necessary for survivors of domestic violence to be punished, tortured, reminded of the pain they have already endured. I take

I just read this site and gained more knowledge of domestic violence, as always like a little birdie just been hatched! I was terrorized for a very long time and I will never forget those 'red flags' again!! Constantly belittling me, pushing me around, throwing things at me aiming for my head, throwing me out of the house because I didn't agree with his next idea, it really got bad when he

Hey y'all! Wanted to let you know that I have not given up nor will I ever on putting a stop to domestic violence. I am faced everyday with the reality though I am a survivor I still have to fight each day to pull myself out of the horrible cycle of self-doubt, feeling worthless, being afraid to stand up for myself. Yesterday I proved to be a strong woman who fought for what she believes in

I am so disgusted with the fact that children are being taken from their families and used for someone's sick pleasures!! What is the world coming to, can't we have some normalcy in this crazy time in history? The most recent thing is that poor little girl who was found taken from her Orange Park, Florida home and dumped in a Folkston, Georgia landfill. What the hell people?? Does it stem

Not even close to getting out of this recession!!!I do think that we need to be more positive so that we don't become depressed over the alarming rate of unemployment and no one is spending money. It worries me, but it also makes me realize that we are too dependent on credit cards and loans, and money period. They decrease our ability to only have things we need instead of want!! I don't know

I am newly inspired by Tyler Perry's blog that I just read and was in awe of his plight. I love his movies and have always thought that his message of God is an important one and so I want to share his blog with you so that you will see how it only takes one!! Tyler and Oprah are working on the movie "Precious" that is coming out and in his blog from Oct. 3 will really shed some light on

As you may have well figured out my intentions with this blog is to make others' aware of the uprising of domestic violence and I am sickened by the fact that when you go into the records of these stories there is a history of DV. Makes me wonder how someone with so much power in a courtroom could allow people like that to be in the general public around the ones they will hurt. As a survivor I

Okay probably gonna upset some people, but I have to say as a huge animal lover I am not one bit happy with Mr. Vick. How is that someone who has done such a horrible thing with dogs and can still have a second chance. When you look at the pictures of his dogs - especially the gruesome one with him posing with a dog with it's face with pins in it to hold it together - SAD!!!As y'all know I am

G and I went and had a day just us doing our thang! It was splendid, so perfect in every way and I couldn't believe there wasn't a tantrum on the horizon or anything. We got up today and had breakfast together and then we played with some toys. Then we went outside and played on his tractor for awhile. Before I knew it, it was quiet time and he was rubbing his eyes so I laid him down for a

Kelly Ripa was interviewed by AOL television about how she is happy with the way she looks and her cup size is just fine! I have even toiled with the idea to have breast implants, but the fact of the matter is then it wouldn't be me anymore and that's not something I could live with. Don't get me wrong I have friends that have augmented their chest size and I love them unconditionally - it's

Doesn't this dress just make y'all wanna go out and dance the night away with some tall, dark, handsome stranger!? It does me!!!I love being Southern, it's something that all who are should uphold with pride. It is so great to be Southern: our food is to die for! Our accents and hospitality is something you always remember. I am raising my boy to be a Southern gentleman and it is proving to

I couldn't sleep last night as well as usual because my precious boy kept waking up and needing me until about 2 am. Which was fine, I'm a mom that's what I do, but low and behold they have these corny infomercials on and one in particular sucked me in. It's called the 'Xpress 101.' I was just like a deer in headlights watching this silly thing cook me all kinds of goodies in under 8 minutes.

I was blissfully sleeping in dreamland with my hottie Gerard Butler and someone decided to interrupt this perfect union with a hottie from Scotty!!

I became a mommy in 2007 and ever since then life has never been the same. When I was at dinner Friday night with the girls and my son I couldn't talk to everyone without saying G 'stay where I can see you' and having a constant eye on his every move. It's amazing to me how I just fell into this person that is super mom at least to G I am. I can't imagine what my life was like before this, was

When I started this blog almost a year ago it was designed to make sense of all that I was going through and still reliving. Now that over a year has passed since my life was turned upside down I must say I don't really want to talk about that part of my life anymore. I made mistakes and I have to accept that, but I don't think that there is enough talking about it to fix it or even help others

Becoming a mom has made me realize just how blessed I am to have a mom like mine. She is an amazing woman who makes me feel so good about myself and helps me to see that I am stronger than I ever thought possible. She makes me laugh so hard that I almost pee my pants every time she opens her mouth. Her smile and positive outlook are like a disease that gets ya and never lets ya go! She also

My son is home, the G Man is home, yipee! I cannot believe how much sleep I lost, and some sanity with him gone! He is my life line, my world, my everything. The love of my life wears diapers and I am so proud to be able to say that!He is so smart and makes me wonder how come we can't all be "sponges" like him and learn something new every hour. He repeats and mimics all that I say and do, he

Let me first say that I had not heard of this movie nor knew what it was about. Wow am I glad I took a chance and watched it. It is changing my life already even though I watched it just 12 hours ago. I see the importance of putting God first in my life - letting him take the lead and realize that free will can only take you so far. I cried pretty much from the beginning all the way to the

In April, Maya Angelou was interviewed by Oprah on her 70 birthday. Oprah asked her what she thought of growing older. And, there on television, she said it was 'exciting.' Regarding body changes, she said there were many, occurring every day...like her breasts. They seem to be in a race to see which will reach her waist, first. The audience laughed so hard they cried. She is such an honest woman

My son is so funny and amazing and to watch him with animals is a real treat! He is almost like a "whisperer" because no animal is afraid of him or he afraid of them. He will walk right up to a 17.5 hands thoroughbred and say "horse" like it's nothing. He wants to feed the horses and goats like he is a bigger boy and grabs handfuls of hay and starts throwing them to the respective animals. He

Sometimes I take the time to wonder why certain people can't let go of the past. Why are they always angry? If you let go and let GOD, it makes everything so much better. That doesn't mean just because you go to church each week isn't the same as actually letting go. Too many people leave church before it's ended just so they can get out of the parking lot first and get to breakfast. I'm not

I am so into retro fashion! I should have been born back in the 40's - not even funny how much I love all the women dressed to the hilt just to go to run an errand. That's the way I wish I could dress, but there isn't a chance in hell that I can do that everyday! LOLI watched The Notebook last night and was inspired by the movie so I did some looking around and found some beautiful fashions

I have been really curious lately where my family comes from, so I have been doing a genealogy search to see just what is sitting in my family tree. Really cool looking it up and realizing where family originated from. It's going to take a really long ass time to find out everything, but I'm on my way to getting there. In the meantime I will be seeing my Southern cousins tomorrow... Grayson

I can't believe that time is flying by like this... everyone has warned me, but dang it's going too fast! He is such a quick learner and creative about each and every thing he does. Today he walked over to the fridge and said "Mama, I want juice" like he was four instead of two! Shocking me to the core and then running to me and saying "my mama".

One Sunday, in counting the money in the weekly offering, the Pastor of a small church found a pink envelope containing $1,000. It happened again the next week! The following Sunday, he watched as the offering was collected and saw an elderly woman put the distinctive pink envelope on the plate. This went on for weeks until the pastor, overcome by curiosity, approached her.'Ma'am, I couldn't help

Last night I was watching the 11 o' clock news and heard about a beautiful woman was killed by her estranged husband. It made me stop doing all the other things I was doing and just sit there and listen intently. Domestic violence is no joke, and this woman lost her life because of her fear of her husband. If we allow them to scare us into staying or not saying anything to the right people

Had an amazing Easter weekend with my special boy! Here are a few photos to make you laugh! Our Easter egg hunt was awesome!!! He wanted to wear all camo that day which I thought was fitting since he was outside hunting, lol.

Found some old poems from years ago, thought I'd share them! "US"Remember when we said those three words, our hearts pounding and with sweaty palms we vowed eternity.On both knees you told me you loved me and wanted me to be your wife and something changed.Remember when we suddenly said good bye with tears in our eyes.All things must come to an end and we will always remember when.Yesterday,

I watched a documentary on domestic violence tonight and it made me cry because I was reminded of all the torment I have endured for 7 years. As a woman under such control you will do anything to make your husband happy so that he has no reason to be upset. I couldn't eat and I couldn't sleep without some kind of criticism and being made to feel worthless. I was slowly alienated and made to

Yesterday was a good day, I was told I would be getting my stuff back soon... that is so nice when someone sees you are trying so hard and they just step in and take over. I'm happy today and the days before because I see all the beauty in the world and am so grateful for all these blessings. So many exciting things are happening now for us and we are able to enjoy without worrying about

I woke up before 8 this morning thinking about how I just want to pinch myself because I am so happy and cannot believe that has happened so quickly. I have so many great friends and family, especially my son who looks at me like a super hero. Normally I would be afraid to be me and act silly when I want to, but with the people that love me that are around now - love it when I am myself. I am

It's the Super Bowl baby! Yeah! I love the funny commercials and how I can record them and watch them over and over! : ) That Tivo is such an awesome piece of equipment! When I think back to previous years I was so stressed b/c the house had to be perfectly spotless and all the while I was cleaning I was being screamed at for various reasons. Not no more Mr.!!! The only thing missing this

I just want to say thank goodness I am divorced! I am no longer being controlled and yelled at and told I am worthless. When I think back about when we separated - he shut off the power, water - those are things that a mom and baby need desperately... he thought he could break me by taking away necessities, but I have persevered. I will continue to do so because I am a strong woman, who is

Yeah! I am getting my son back today... it's hard not having him around. He is my life! When I was pg with him I used to watch my belly move and wonder what kind of a person he would be. I felt so safe knowing he was in my belly and I could keep him free from harm. Then it turns out he had to be born early b/c of all the stress I was under, my bp was like 190/130 (that's what I was told at

Normally I would be worrying about what is coming for the new year, but this time in years I am not worried about anything! I use to be up all night wondering how to be a better wife so that he would not get mad at me or find something wrong with me. He would wake up that morning on the right side of the bed and be happy that he had a wife and child. It has taken a long time to let go of all

Well, it's official I am a blogger! I have so much to say and not enough time in the day to say it all. I will start off by saying now that after this everyone will know the real me. Nothing like getting it from the horse's mouth instead of a silly game called telephone. After much persistence from a dear friend I have decided to put it all down whether it's scary or just not so nice - it
