“You saved my life…”
This isn’t my story to tell, but I’m going to tell it anyway. My best friend has had an uphill battle for quite a while now. Even more so in the last year. Her most recent battle. Brain surgery. Notice, I use the word “battle.” That’s what it is. It’s a battle. The war is…

Henry Solomon Scott Jr. (02/04/1946-10/25/25)
I cannot find one word to describe him. Too many fill my head in such a torrential fashion. Roughly five years ago, Henry started his journey on both Parkinson’s and Kidney Disease. In the beginning, Henry was a dad who stepped up. By the end, Henry had been the dad who stepped in. From day…

2025… Peace out!
I would be amiss if I didn’t post about New Year’s on New Year’s, even though I’ve been “name-dropping” it for weeks now. As long as I can remember, I’ve spent New Year’s Eve with my family. My mom and dad when they were together, my meemaw, or my parents (my mom and Henry.) I…

Donna Renee Cone (11/03/61-04/27/25)
If I had to describe her in one word.. it would be “faithful.” From the first time I met her, she treated me as one of her own. She loved me, and she was honest, brutally at time, but honest with me. She was kind. I’ve met one other person like her and that was…

2025 in a Nutshell

The next day, we found out it was in her bones, brain, stomach, and adrenal glands. She had 4 months without treatment, 7 without. She chose no treatment. Brittany went to take care of…

Growth. What is it?
Isn’t growth something we try to do everyday? Is it a mindset? Is it what we “think” we are doing, when something doesn’t work out the way we thought it should? For me, it’s all of the above. A lot of times, my growth is stunted. It’s stunted because I find myself in a rut,…

“Dear Younger Me..”
How would a conversation go with the younger version of me? What would I tell myself? What would I keep from myself? I would definitely tell myself to be more cautious with my heart, but not so cautious that I miss out on the joys of life and people. I would tell myself that I’m…

Just Say No!
The last year was trying for me. I’ve always been someone to throw myself onto a knife for someone else. This past year, I’ve realized just how much it cost me. It’s always cost me. But this year, has been a wake up call. I had a conversation with B last night. We’re so different…
