If you’ve followed my blog for a bit, by now you may have noticed I enjoy horror, supernatural, and thrillers. So it would be no surprise that I wanted to read Dearest by Jacquie Walters.

the ‘blues’
Right now, I am blue for no reason. I just woke up and wanted to cry. No trigger, just wanted to. Which then led to me feeling spontaneously sad all day long. This started yesterday – and today, which is day 2, I still want to just curl up and cry. I know it’s not…

back in the groove
So. I disappeared for awhile. A lot went down from the end of July to now. I’ll give a breakdown and will go into more details on later blog posts. July 2019: Lost my cat Mocha and my Uncle Gary August – September 2019: Dealt with a lot of pain, tests, and ER visits. Which…

holidays & loss
With Mother’s Day fast approaching I’ve found myself thinking more and more about my grandma and how much I miss her. I didn’t expect holidays to hit me so hard after she passed away. Thanksgiving was painful, though it was made easier by my family and boyfriend. However when Christmas rolled around it hit me…
