It’s Not Working

  Tears filled my eyes as I stood watching my son. He threw his paper on the floor and curled his body in a ball. Our choice of curriculum worked academically and was a perfect fit. Or so it seemed. Fighting and attitudes were the norm in our school. My daughter trembled as she fumbled

Comparison Games

  Are you a victim of the social media entrapment? This entrapment boasts of perfection. It snares the innocent-minded mother and binds her with feelings of inferiority. Our friends’ perfect lives are plastered all over social media. Envy creeps in, and before long disdain fills our lives. A friend posts a calming picture of their

What is Love?

February seems to revolve around Valentine’s Day, and the theme of love. A lot of money is spent on showing that special someone how loved they are. How do we define love? Everyone wants to be loved and feel loved. Would you describe love as a warm and fuzzy feeling? Is love a box of

A Redo

When I think of a new year, I think of a new beginning. I find hope in a new start or a redo from the previous year. Before I can envision what I hope my new year will look like, my mind goes back in time. I’m not talking about going back to childhood or
