“Chivalry is not dead. It’s just sleeping underneath the layers of your past disappointments.” ~Audra Erwin Dear lovely sister-friends who profess that there is a shortage of “good men” “out there.” I beg to differ. I see examples on the daily of the goodness and glory of the masculine that I truly appreciate. We always […]
I’ve tried it alone Sought help from authors with well-meaning intent and content that soothed but only for a moment I stood on the edge of my own faded glory Ready to leap only to dive headfirst into an empty pool The waters I’ve been seeking are holy and vast and not found outside […]
It’s not okay to use your words to convict with contempt It’s not okay to spew the venom from the poison of your own unhealed hurts onto that of another It’s not okay to verbally punch with the fists of your tongue and then offer temporary flowers whose petals fall off just as quickly […]
