Honey, Be Encouraged

In 2007, my mom passed away and I finalized my divorce all in the month of April. I started writing “letters” to my mom and journaling my thoughts and prayers. God spoke to my heart and I started writing a blog about a lot of my life experiences that I thought and hoped could help other women. Women who have loved and loss, been rejected, abandoned and women who just need some encouragement to know they are not alone in this crazy world.

“Therefore encourage one another and build one another up, just as you are doing.”

—1 Thessalonians 5:11

Silence
