Hey there! I know I’ve been MIA for a while. I took a much needed break from social media and writing but something also changed in me while I was away. I celebrated a birthday and the reality of getting older hit me pretty hard. I started thinking about all the years that have gone…
Whenever I see people going through hard times I naturally try to encourage them. This time it’s been challenging. Right now we are all in the midst of uncertainty with everything that is happening in our world. People are panicking out of fear and the unknown. They are trying to prepare for the worst. I…
A tough subject to talk about let alone think about. It hurts and brings a level of disappointment that can last a lifetime. As I reflect often on the times I’ve felt rejected in my life, the affects have been detrimental to most of my relationships and my responses to opportunities that have come and…

Good things happen when you take the time to heal…really heal. You’ll get better not bitter. Your heart will be open to love again instead of becoming hard as a brick wall. Know what you need and do the work. It’s not always easy but it’s worth it. Seeking God was all I knew to…
Waking up on a Saturday morning to little hands tugging at my comforter and sweet voices calling me “Mommy” is my normal now. I’m exhausted and mentally drained from working all week and I would like nothing more than to just sleep in without interruption, but I’m the only one here to tend to these…
Thank you for joining me 🙂 I am “Peculiar Widow”. This blog is about my journey from being a wife to suddenly a widow, no warning! I hope to encourage but also help someone else as I write my journey for all to see. Writing has always been a place of healing and restoration so…
