This post is part two of a series on Losing My Religion. You can find part one here. Religion is man-made, but faith is divine. That was the motto that I held onto for about 7 years when I was transitioning out of religion. Because walking away from religion isn't like quitting a job. I left religion so I could commune with the divine energy of the universe. When you have been born and raised into something, and the culture of that cult has permeated every single aspect of your life, ... continue reading...
Losing my religion
As a girl raised in a Southern Baptist church, I don't think I ever truly believed in the message they were peddling. I wanted to. I wanted to be the good girl.

In my high school years, I seriously thought I was a poet. *insert a hug for 90s emo Gina.* Even in the years in between then and now when I tried to walk away from it, I'd always end back up here. Writing is in my blood. Which is why it ... continue reading...
10 things I learned on the path to “Happily Ever After”
Once upon a time, what now feels like a long time ago, there was a girl who decided to start a blog. She was always a writer, a thinker, a creative and a very curious soul. With no clue where it would eventually take her, she decided to start a blog to be sort of a digital scrapbook to capture the memories of remodeling her childhood home alongside her husband and own children. The tales of transforming a shabby little cottage by the creek. Little did she know that one day would ... continue reading...
