It is human nature to boast about things we’re proud of. But wives have to remember humility is key. We were once like our single friends struggling with relationships. As great as our lives are now, things may not always be this way. Things can change drastically and we’ll need our dear friends’ support. I don’t want to piss them off to the point where they roll their eyes and hit the ignore button whenever I call. My plan is to remain humble. Hopefully, my marital status does not interfere with my friendships. I hope I continue to be a good friend. And I hope my friends think so too.

I admire his audacity to pose an important question, at the risk of upsetting me.
Why I Was Away For So Long
As I get older, it is becoming more clear to me, that I am not superwoman. I've always prided myself on my ability to juggle multiple activities at once and still keep my ducks lined in a row. What I never realized is that when you're a jack (or jill) of many trades, it's hard to do one thing well. I am not an exception.
Not Another One
The experience of going to the movie theaters will never be the same for me. Listening to a sermon at church will never be the same for me. Picking up toiletries at Walmart will never be the same for me. Attending a concert of my favorite musician will never be the same for me. I encourage you to play your role to reduce gun violence in this country, in whatever way you see fit.
