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

Not Enough Talk

Today I woke reading the sad news of another celebrity suicide. That is two in the last few days and my heart hurts thinking about it. I watch the news and see many people mourning the loss of these people.... Continue Reading →

International Virgin

So I finally did it. I took a step outside of the US. Ok, it isn't necessarily a big thing to some, but for me it's a tick off my ever evolving bucket list. I drove across the border and spent... Continue Reading →

Conversations

Sometimes I really think God laughs at the conversations that we have. Mostly because I am so bloody stubborn that I try to talk my way out of things that I know in my heart is right. Conversations like: "God,... Continue Reading →

Discouragement

When I worked at Ashley Furniture I used to take what I called a "Batman." These batmans were essentially clarity breaks. I'd stand up from my desk, call batman, and walk away. My office understood that single word and eventually... Continue Reading →

A Humbled Heart

I did something down right frightening a few days ago. And I am humbled because of it. On Wednesday I talked about God telling me it was time to share my testimony. On Friday I did. It was the scariest... Continue Reading →

Time

I didn't intend to write today. I actually wanted to write after I return from my Women's Retreat on Saturday. But, as I sit in front of my desk paying some bills something is stirring in me. There is an... Continue Reading →

For The Love Of Rewrites

April has come and gone so quickly I can barely believe it. I can still vividly see my little family dressed in matching blue and yellow for Easter. I can also vividly remember - or at least take notice -... Continue Reading →

For the Love of Chances

It's been a struggle to find time to write. And I'm not making excuses. I can definitely make time but I just don't have the energy to do so. I knew once we became official foster parents the dynamics of... Continue Reading →

Depression Wants You Alone

I spent the last two-weeks almost in a bit of a haze. Something was bothering me but no matter what I did I couldn't shake it. I told Jeremy I don't know of its stress, lack of sleep or even... Continue Reading →
