“The internet requires men to do so much for relationships. He must text you good morning each morning, he must pay for dates, he must support every idea you ever had in your entire lifetime, he must be willing to be uncomfortable in meeting your family, he must be willing to eat what you eat, he has to workout the way that you workout, and he must be close to perfection – bringing and buying flowers at every single moment. Not one meme said, “Sis, if he’s sharing his dreams and goals with you, he’s a keeper!” Goals and dreams are not really romantic. They are practical.” ©️Simone Holloway, 2020

Oozing With Words
Hello old friend, new followers and fellow bloggers- I wish I could say that I’ve always had the right words to say, or that I was always confident to speak my heart, but that is not the case. I remember times, having so much to say but not knowing exactly how to translate my pain. …
Was It Worth It?
Hello old friends, new followers, and fellow bloggers- Good evening. Tonight’s post was hard to write, for it forced me to face another level of vulnerability within myself.

have seen a great light;
on those living in the land of the shadow of death
a light has dawned.” Matt 4:16
