PearlyShells

I seriously hate writing about me. What do you tell people? The customary who I am, where I'm from? Those are all well and fine but gets kinda redundant, doesn't it? If you want to know me, come read a long. I'm an open book - or at least try to be. I try to write a little about everything. I should one day find my niche, one day. I figure, if I keep writing eventually it’ll come. Mostly I write to help inspire. This world can be a pretty damn scary place to live in. The hate crimes. The sexual violence. The bombings and shootings. I want to be able to shed some hope. Even just a sliver. Something to help someone take another step in their day. I started this blog in the hopes I could help change a dark and hatred filled world. I'm not exactly sure I'm actually doing it or not. But, I'm trying. I also write to get the practice I need. Sometimes I’ll be sweet and awe inspiring. Other times I’ll show a bit of my true self with some dripping sarcasm and stupid humor. Then there are other times I just don’t make sense. Bear with me! When you come across my page, please feel free to leave me comments - about anything. Open forum. Open door. Open, open, open. I like having discussions about feelings (ya right) and hearing opinions of others about what I write. And other times, it’s just nice to know that someone out there goes through some of the same things I do. Thanks bunches in taking the time to stop on by! ~Pearls xoxo

It Doesn’t Hurt

The Powers of Anxiety

I can't believe it is February. I swear to you it was just July of 2016. But, here we are already saying goodbye to January 2017. As I sit here baffled at the month's end I'm trying to find a way... Continue Reading →

Adoption Sacrifices

This adoption process has become a fun journey. I can't stop thinking about all of the possibilities. Good, bad, fun, sad. Everything. We've spent the last few weeks researching and cleaning the home for preparation. Everything that we have learned is... Continue Reading →

Open Letter to a Younger Me

Today is the start of my bi-annual 30-day blog blast. I figured to start it off with something to keep me a bit motivated through 2017. I've said it so many times: this last year has been an incredible year... Continue Reading →

Trigger

Some series of events have led to once again a time where anxiety and fear has crippled me. 02/01-2/12. Those days can't come soon enough. Or end even faster. I remember a time those feelings weren't associated here. Or ever.... Continue Reading →

We Are Survivors

I didn't sleep last night. I tossed and turned because I could only think about this post. On a night that I should be happy about speaking out - even a subtle as I did. It has taken years for... Continue Reading →

POTUS, Welcome

This isn't going to be a political debate. That isn't the purpose of the post. It isn't the purpose to explain who I did and didn't vote for. It isn't the purpose to bash the candidates. It isn't to bash... Continue Reading →

Home is Where The Heart Is

I grew up in a lot of different places. People ask me if I was a military child since it's easily assumed with all my relocations. I proudly tell them, "No. My parents were nomads." It isn't far from the... Continue Reading →

Adoption Research

When I first posted that Jeremy and I were going to go through the adoption process there was an overwhelming support from people. I got a lot of messages, comments, text that displayed so much love and support. I was... Continue Reading →
