What’s Love Got To Do With It?
"Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.

Leaning over again, I tried to soothe his whimpers that were escalating by the second. The closer we got to the grooming store the more uneasy he became. Whimpers turned into frantic howling, so I looked over and calmly said to my gallon-sized Maltipoo, Chivas, we're ...
Am I Really Enough? (Guest Post & Jewelry Giveaway)
Have you ever felt like you were not good enough? It's an awful feeling, isn't it? It can make the best of us feel isolated, discouraged and doubtful about ourselves. It can be a confidence killer for sure! I wish I could tell you that my not good enough struggles ended when I graduated from high school. But you and I both know that isn't the case. Not for me and probably not for you either. In ...
