Refining Life's Ragged Edges

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

Reclaim Your Life

Can you remember who you are when the world told you who you should be? There seems to be a need to be someone that the rest of the world thinks you should be. Whether it's due to stereotypes or... Continue Reading →

Because You Care

Being a part of my company can be very trying. When I first started I was excited. I was promised growth and the ability to give back to the community. Lo and behold what was promised to me was fanatically... Continue Reading →

A Letter to the Child I Never Knew

My Dearest Jackson, You would be six months today. Not a day goes by that I don’t miss you. Do you know that I tell you good morning every day? I see the last picture of you and I realize... Continue Reading →
