I am feeling very uneasy today. Between recent attacks, an ISIS supporter attempting to buy guns in Chantilly (way too close to home) and the recent MURDERS of innocent people by police, our world is in turmoil. And it is disheartening.
Today on the social network for my neighborhood, it was brought to my attention that the area behind my house that is under construction is being used for Satanic rituals, drugs, and sex. There were photos posted of the drawings on the new concrete, baggies for drugs, and used condoms everywhere. This is IN my neighborhood, where we decided to move because we felt safe. This is where I go to walk, jog, contemplate life. A safe, beautiful place to relax and unwind. No longer.
I feel like not only our world is under attack, but my smaller world is under attack as well. We moved because I felt like the place I grew up was safe. It felt like a great place to raise kids.
Once again, world flipped upside down. We lost our twins 3 hours after birth. I think of what things would be like if they were actually here, and I find myself actually THANKFUL that they don’t have to deal with the awful things going on here. What kind of world is this when I am not sure I even want to bring children into a world that is such disarray.
It’s getting ridiculous. Today I feel sad, unsafe, and burdened by the troubles of the world. We all need prayers.

Hi, thanks for stopping by!
I am a writer, and wife to my amazing husband Nicholas. I am a Mom to twin boys: William Matthew and Harrison Michael, who were born premature on August 1, 2015 and departed our world for heaven 3 hours after birth.
I write to help other Mamas who have felt the deep pain that is only understandable to those who have been through it. I write to heal my broken heart.
I am a technical writer and also offer copyediting, proofreading, and document organization for fiction and nonfiction works.
I have over 17 years of experience in publishing, magazine writing, blogging, and newspaper reporting.
I have experience in APA, Chicago, and MLA Styles as well as a BA in English with a concentration in nonfiction writing and rhetoric. I am a big fan of the Oxford Comma, and will spend hours making a document look perfect. In addition to my education and background, I have completed several additional advanced copyediting courses.
Besides writing, I love to cook, read, garden, and decorate the new home my husband and I bought in 2014. I have a huge collection of cookbooks (100+) and love to create new recipes in my free time.
I am a major Pinterest addict, and will spend hours decorating cookies, doing crafts, organizing, and nesting.
I love my sweet niece Olivia and my nephew Hudson with all of my heart. I love being a godmother and will do anything for them!
We brought our golden retriever pup Barley home in March 2017, and he is a gorgeous, spoiled boy who can be quite an adorable rascal. I am expecting a baby girl in February 2021, and couldn't be more excited. We have been waiting to expand our family for so long.
Looking forward to connecting and hearing from my readers!
