You Are Not Alone: Finding Strength in Life’s Hardest Seasons!

Image
Why I Started This Blog There comes a time in life when you look around and wonder—where do I fit? Who am I beyond the sacrifices I’ve made, beyond the roles I’ve taken on? This space is for women like me—women who feel alone in the struggles of military life, marriage, motherhood, and the weight of past and present trauma. Maybe you’ve given up a career to support your husband’s military service and raise your children, and now you wonder if you lost yourself along the way. Maybe you're searching for your purpose, feeling like you exist but don’t truly belong anywhere. Maybe you carry childhood wounds or pain from experiences as an adult, and it still lingers.

Maybe you're homeschooling because the school system doesn’t support your child’s needs—navigating ADHD, ODD, autism, and fighting for the accommodations they deserve but never receive.

A Story of Resilience: My Journey Through Abandonment, Family, and Growth

Image
As a little girl, I was abandoned at the age of three by my biological mother, who struggled with addiction to drugs and alcohol. I remember vividly the chaos surrounding my parents—my father desperately trying to help my mother through rehab while my aunt flew into San Diego to take my brother and me back to Florida.

    From the outside, my life between 2010 and 2012 probably looked like a wild, carefree young adult figuring things out. But the truth is, it was a blur—one I thought at the time was me "living my best life." Looking back now, it was anything but that.      In April 2010, I lost my Nana to cancer. That was the beginning of the unraveling. She and my Granddaddy were the foundation of our family—our traditions, our love, our togetherness. Her death left a hole, not just in me but especially in my Aunt Sharon. They were best friends, and losing Nana shattered something in all of us.      I was drifting—moving in and out of my dad and stepmom’s house depending on whatever reason I was given. “You woke your dad up with your footsteps,” or “If you say you’ll be home at 10, be home at 10.” “His house, his rules.” It wasn’t a home—it was a place I passed through. Deep down, I know I was craving love and comfort, things I felt like I missed out on d...
