Not my usual blog post, however, I am sharing in hopes of helping others enjoy the journey! Organization is key! In the food industry there is a term for having everything ready and in place before you begin cooking,…

Get LIT!

Goodmourningmama.com

Get what?!  What does LIT mean? Is it a celebration that catapults you into your future?  Do you see your potential there?  It is the light within us that is confusing, not the darkness.  The end or beginning of an era, brings questions to surface.

I miss you so much at times, I can still hardly breathe. Someone told me I should quit keeping track of the days since you left. It is not intentional. My heart just knows. Today marks two and one half years since your promotion to heaven. Every single day I see you in some way.…

I love being surrounded by people that genuinely desire to help others. It doesn’t matter how big or small, just contributing to another’s success in this life is a gift to yourself. We all have talents. Do you know yours? There are coaches, teachers, detectives, nurses, translators, engineers, entrepreneurs all making a difference. Dads, moms,…

My Connor story….

Goodmourningmama.com

The following was written from a younger sister’s heart, two years and three months later… He called himself Ronnoc the Cunning. Ronnoc is his name spelled backwards with a twist.

Imagine starting out without basic needs being met for years. Being moved from the only place you knew, although a tough place to be.  Blessed to be taken care of, yet not your permanent home.  Directed again to a new family, feeling stability for four years, only to lose a brother that loved you dearly. I…
