  • Place Holder

    Some days I think of my title as an adoptive mom as a ‘position’. Yep, you heard the word. How could I you even think that you are carrying a position even after you have adopted the children? Well, when you hear the things I have heard from my adopted children then you would understand.…

  • Numb

    Have you ever had a situation come up in your life that completely drained you? You had given all of your mental capacity to it, to where you feel extremely soul-sucked.
