Our last act on earth will be taking our last breath. Visualize breathing in and out one last time. Isn’t that crazy to think about? I watched my Mama take hers and it is a moment engrained in my mind forever. I’m sure many of you have been there. As we finally exhale, our calendars

Plus-Size Me!
So I have to tell you about my dream and what God said to me. I’m still giggling!! Let me preface it by saying there’s a blogger I love from my hometown. She is my age, she travels to dream destinations, owns a home on an island, with a boat, cooks and shares amazing
When you have to pee.

Make sweet the sound.
From the waves in my hair (lawd!) to the waves of the sea, all those gray streaks keep staring back at me. From freckles as uncountable(!) as the sands on the shore, I don’t think my body has a spot for one more. From suntan lines to the lines in my face, time and living
Self-soothe ice cream.
