Life, hope, lifestyle and everything beautiful
Many people find themselves stuck in situations they would rather break free from but can’t. For many reasons. Some situations are more difficult than others to deal with and walking away is not an option in the present circumstances. I know how it feels; like choking or drowning.

Although love slipped away and dissolved, my ex-husband was and is admirable in many ways. He had and has great qualities I’m thankful he shared with me. Now, after a year and a half, I can see more clearly, on looking back at “us,” at “him,” and give him credit. Things fall apart, and as […]

I have no resolutions for 2017. Every year I used to write a long list of things I hoped to achieve. Some, I often realized were not even things I really wanted. I just jotted them down believing these were things I had to do to make myself and others happy. Now, on second thought, I […]
