Mallory drove up to Brielle’s loft. He couldn’t decide whether he wanted to get out or not, so he sat in the truck for a while. He looked though her window and he thought he saw her in the loft.

One thing my mom always used to tell me was "If you're going to do it, do it right!" She drilled this into my head over and over again. To this day, I can stand when things are half way done. Half way completed projects. Tasks that someone doesn't see all of the way through. Have you ever started something that you didn't finish? Why is it that many of us do this? Maybe we take on more than we can handle. Maybe it's that we aren't assertive enough to just say "No". Some of us are afraid of comm… Continue

I read my Daily Word yesterday and it noted that I should always feel a sense of inner peace no matter what I'm going through because I have God in me. It wasn't rocket science. It wasn't anything that I hadn't heard before. But at that moment, it cooled the stirring in my soul. Anyone who knows me knows that I'm always hustling, always on the move. I've always believed that I've had a restless spirit. I get bored easily and I always feel like I need something to do. That's just always been me.… Continue
