Do you have a quote you live your life by or think of often?
But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint. Isaiah 40:31
This is a verse I turn to often . I love bald eagles and for a long time now God will bring one into my sight just at the right time. I know everything will be ok and He’s got this. This verse is very comforting to me.
What is your favorite holiday? Why is it your favorite?
I love Christmas time it’s become one of my favorite holidays. I love the traditions and spending time with friends and family. I love the story of Jesus and his birth and what Christmas is all about.
I love all the lights and maybe it’s because I never had Christmas’ growing up that I cherish the times I have now.

I want to thank all my readers and all the people who have some of the most amazing photos. Thank you for allowing me to share them with others on my blog.
When I started the journey of blogging it was basically a woman getting thoughts out. I have seen amazing healing through my blog and the biggest part was being able to share my memoirs. I decided to do it on my blog because I have siblings that are still alive and I wanted to make sure what I wrote never hurt them. To be able to share things I’ve only ever written on paper, has been amazing.
Sharing our stories is what helps others even if it’s just one person who reads what we write and is impacted by it. I would not be where I am today without JESUS. He is the one who helped me survive and He is the one who brought so much healing through my writings. I then discovered that I love to write and it’s something that brings me much peace no matter what is going on. I always tell people that my blog is Jesus’s and my story.
Thank you to those who encouraged me to write even when I was nervous about it. It’s become one is my greatest accomplishments.
I am the woman I am today because of finding my voice. Don’t ever be shy about who you are. I am the woman I am today because of my past. My strength comes from JESUS and He’s the one who prompts me to write.
Thank you so much for reading and liking my posts. ❤️
Describe a risk you took that you do not regret.
When I lived in Ireland with my dad and stepmom. After I had gotten back from Canada visiting my mom for the summer. I was 15 years old my dad told me that I could move out and get a job or move with my mom. There is no way I would ever have survived getting a job at 15 with little education and scared of my own shadow.
I took the risk and called up my mom and asked her if I could live with her. She was overjoyed but I felt my dad didn’t want me anymore and that’s how he was going to get rid of me.
Moving from Ireland the only home I knew to come and live with my mom and stepdad was a massive difference in my life. It was like moving from one completely different world to another one. The way I was brought up to how I lived at my mom’s was a massive culture shock. Even though I didn’t want to leave my family I couldn’t wait to get out of the abusive relationships I had.
It was the best decision I ever made. I had a family who loved me and supported me in the highs and lows and after a long time I worked on and through my trauma. I also had a step dad that loved me so much and was very protective of me something I never had growing up. He helped me be the woman I am today. I lost him mid December. I miss him everyday and the relationship that we developed over the years. ❤️
How do you use social media?
I use social media mostly to promote my business. It’s the biggest reason I’m on it and to interact with people that live far away from me. Without social media I would have a harder time being about to tell people about this amazing product. I do online events and meet amazing people along the way.
It’s been a wild couple of weeks. When you think your settled in your job and love what you’re doing. You get changed into a different classroom where you know none of the children. It’s like starting out at the beginning of the new year. New kids and a teacher you’ve never worked with before. Even though the change was hard for the children at first when you love on them and help them they love having you in their class.
There is a person in my school who is hard to get to know. In fact I often hear her tell me that she does things because of her trauma. That stood out to me and I thought about it. I have experienced massive trauma in my life and I’m not minimizing her trauma at all. Not one person who doesn’t know me, would ever know that I even had trauma in my life. I never have ever said oh this is because of my trauma. Maybe it’s because I’ve worked through mine a lot.
Yes I have had trauma in my life but it never defines who I am or what I do in my life. I have chosen to live my life and my trauma made me stronger and who I am today. My heart is massive for people especially those who are hurting.
What trauma has shown me is we know it changes you but the gift God has given me is to see others that have struggles and it sometimes comes out in your daily lives. I have compassion and understanding. I wasn’t always like that in fact this woman reminds me of how I was before I was healed. It just stood out to me what she said. I’ve been praying this woman finds her own peace and hope. ❤️
My mom is having hip surgery today. I’m been thinking about it and today when I woke up my tummy was off and tears flooded my eyes. The loss of my dad came flooding back and it was hard to stop. Even though hip surgery is a routine surgery it makes you want to hold those you love even closer to you.
I miss my dad everyday. I miss his hugs his smile, his advice he gave the best advice. I miss his stories he always had lots. He loved Spring and flowers, humming birds coming to the feeder. He loved to garden and I miss our chats and laughs. Tomorrow is supposed to be really warm so I’m going to go and hang out at his favorite beach. I miss our walks in there. So many things I miss about him.
My mom’s surgery is a couple of hours hopefully this morning and then a couple of months of recovery. After her recovery we will have a joint birthday and celebration of life for my dad. I’m so grateful that my brother is here to help my mom as well. I guess when things are out of your control it brings up many emotions. I was surprised about that but I’m still in a season is grief when though it’s less and less.
Today is a day for me to look after myself and not worry about things in can’t control. My mom will be just fine. God’s got her in the palm of His hands. I know my dad is walking the beaches in heaven and the best part of that is I get to see him again and I’ve got the biggest hug for him. For now I have all the memories and I can remember them when I’m the midst of tears.
What makes you laugh?
When my dad passed away I started watching comedies. I’m almost at the end of Friend’s. I love that show so much it’s halarious and the lines are so great. It’s good to belly laugh with the things that they do. It’s also really nice to laugh after all the tears I’ve shed.
I also laugh lots at some of the things that the children say at school. Oh my goodness I’ve heard some of the funniest things.
Laughter is so good and I have an amazing sense of humor and I often get the children to laugh because some of them are so serious. Laughter is good for your soul. I hope that you can let loose and laugh as much as you can.
Beauty from Ashes.
