As I laid my head down on my soft pillow trying to get some much needed rest, my mind wondered to and fro over things people have said recently.

It’s something I should be … More What Can I Do Today?
It’s amazing how we can let fear cripple us. When I began following Hearts of Gold Magazine on Instagram, I thought that there was no way that my writing would ever be good enough for them to want or use. Thankfully, they seem to like the words that God has given me to write because they … More Be the Change – Guest Post
If you read my most recent blog post “Negativity Has No Place Here”, you would have read about some exciting news that I had. A couple of weeks ago, words poured out from my heart onto a blank page.
