Finding My Second Wind
Hello old friends, fellow bloggers, and new followers- It’s been a little while since I shared any of my thoughts with each of you. I have been suffering from a bad case of writer’s block. My therapist believes that this writer’s block is really fear of perception masked in perfectionism. Since she is a professional,…
Writer’s Block.
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- Happy Sunday! It’s a fall-ish day here in G-vegas, and I am trying to figure out what to share with you. It’s been awhile and with 15 different drafts of a proposed article in my que, I’m having trouble finding exactly what I want to say. Have…

When Dreams Die…
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- Today is a somber day for many, myself included, as we reflect on life in the aftermath of the passing of Kobe Bryant and his beautiful daughter, Gianna.

Y’all, I have no idea what this life of no shame will bring but I’m excited. I feel free, like in the depths of my soul. I feel like I can conquer the world.

I am okay with where I am and that is freedom all in itself. I’ve embraced the truth about me and I am unashamed. I’ve embraced my triumphs and my failures, every ounce of my brokenness and the places where I am whole, all of my strengths and all of my weaknesses. I’m okay with every ounce of me and I am enough because I am in Him. I’m literally smiling as I type this article, overjoyed at the process He is doing in my heart. ©Simone Holloway, 2019
Safe Spaces
“Let’s be real, those who are super loving are usually the ones that have experienced the most pain. Those who are super accepting of others are typically the ones who’ve been rejected by many. Those who are the “strong” one in their relationships are typically built that way because of traumatic events surrounding their weaknesses. I have been all of these things…rejected, in pain and have experienced trauma. Overall, my soul sought safety.”©Simone Holloway, 2018
There’s More

Once Again
I stand on love’s cliff and the wind beckons me to the sky.
Either I will sink or swim- but first I must fly!
