Come Back to Me: Book Review

“You are my Daughter”
On Tuesday, I hit the lowest of my blue day segments. God knows I prayed as my head hit the pillow, and later as I knelt in my closet after I pushed to get out of bed.

Perfect Findings
A few days ago I wrote about depression and hoping for better days. The following day I found an old note book heading for the trash but I quickly scanned it to make sure there was nothing of value written in it. I found this on the back cover. Perfect timing when getting out of … Continue reading Perfect Findings
