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

Pink’d

The one thing I love about watching the NFL in October is that their uniforms dawn pink for the annual awareness of Breast Cancer. The White House also painted their walls pink earlier this month to bring awareness to Breast... Continue Reading →

For The Love Of…A Positive Self Image

It's no secret I'm not too fond of the way my  body looks. I can point the finger as far as the reasonings to it. But, ultimately, it's up to me to conquer those stupid thoughts and I embarked on... Continue Reading →

Chameleon

I wrote this on another blog and couldn't decided whether I should share it on that one or this one. I decided on both. I've been circling around a thought the last two months. Yesterday I took the day off... Continue Reading →

Why I Stand

I was texting an old coworker today when she asked me, "You'd kneel wouldn't you?" I understood what she was asking. And as I politely said, "I will stand for the flag and kneel for the cross," she was pretty... Continue Reading →

Emergency Kits

I'm not going to make light of the disasters that have hit America, Canada, Mexico and the Atlantic the last month. Fires. Hurricanes. Earthquakes. Tornadoes. Disaster after disaster it doesn't appear things will slow down any time soon. When we... Continue Reading →

Finding A Way To Sparkle

Today has been a really rough day. I've been sitting in front of my computer trying to write today's blog. It seems like I can write everything but. I don't know what it is. I'm tired after my long weekend.... Continue Reading →

A Dead Relationship

It's been almost two years since my husband and I said enough is enough and laid all our cards on the table. Before that, life was pretty miserable for nearly two years. We fought all the time. We tried to... Continue Reading →

30 About Me’s

I didn't have much to write today. I wanted to write something to spot light National Suicide Prevention Week but I think I'm coming down with something so my brain isn't really working. So I decided to pull out of... Continue Reading →
