If You Knew Me Before
I have come a long way from the shy and hurting girl I once was. I am an emotional abuse and emotional neglect survivor. I don’t intend to give a lot of details because I am trying to stay in the now, where God is with me; not that He wasn’t with me in my past and He...

Book Review: Beloved by Toni Morrison
124 was spiteful…Those are the words that begin the novel Beloved by Toni Morrison. I tend to take notes while I read; to remember important words and thoughts that stand out to me but this book made me feel so much that I didn’t want to write it down. I didn’t need...
