    I LOVE our Door Buddy

    I LOVE our Door Buddy!! My daughter received a Door Buddy to review I think it was through Pupfluence and it is amazing. In our house, it gives our cats a room that the dogs can’t access to and keeps the litter box and cat food off limits to the canines. Make Baby & Dog Proofing Simple @thedoorbuddy

One of those of course is home and family. Second is focusing on the advocacy work that I feel God leading me to do. More about that…

    Mental Health Matters December 2019 Holidays

    Mental Health Matters First off to my faithful readers I have to apologize that in the last month I’ve been quite forgetful and scattered with my posting. Please forgive me and stick around as I try to get my act together. Thanks for reading. Also because I tend to be over apologetic and say I’m sorry for things that aren’t mine to be sorry for and tend to feel guilty for things that I can’t control I’m told that my mental health requires me to stop being over apologetic.. So I promise to stop apologizing for being human (or at…

Deciduous trees have shed their camouflage and now stand sentinel over our streets and pathways, promising to be the watchmen over the harsh realities of winter. The morning air is crisp and hits our lungs like and exclamation point at the end of a sentence, filling us with excitement for the day ahead. And, unashamed, we leave our homes and face the world draped in layers of what we like to call “sweaters and scarves” but what we really know are security blankets that help us…
