I Can Officially Say I Survived a Hurricane

Well, Hurricane Matthew is officially in Charleston's history. Ours too.  It's interesting to me as some one who grew up in the mountains her whole life to have lived through a hurricane. I was raised in Montana, the land of below zero and frozen air, but I never once had a snow day. But here …

Goodbye 2015…You were good to me

Every year on the first I feel sad. I am not sure why because it is usually a time of happy and new beginnings. I guess I begin to question my life and really ponder the impact I made in the year past. Did I make a difference in someones life? Did I fail? Did …

Feeling Special

David surprised me today. We both work downtown most of the time, only a few blocks apart. So when David gets off work and walks a little ways to give me his last free coffee (he works at Starbucks) of the day it is always very sweet. However today he was working a Starbucks about …

To good to be true or are things finally beginning to turn around?

It really is that time of the year. Sales at retail stores, red cups at Starbucks, snowfall (in some states), and accents of red and green are everywhere. The time of year where joy should fill you to your brim. However sometimes the holiday season can be hard on people for various reasons like the …

Music That Makes You Think

As most of you know, I do not spend very much time on Facebook. In fact if you tried to reach out to me via Facebook I am more then likely not going to respond to you because I won't have the time or energy to be on Facebook that long. I am not a …

Happy Turkey Day! Gobble Gobble

I'm so ashamed of myself! I spent all day cooking and baking and I totally spaced taking photos. We even had friends over and nothing! Which is so sad to me because I value photos. They are a visual representation of memories. I guess that's the photographer in me coming out.  Well I baked a …

Mama Kadron’s Current Proverb

Things are looking up for us. I can't say why exactly but I am feeling hopeful. We received some pretty upsetting news recently and we are trying to move past it. But, it has honestly been a struggle. We are two months away from being homeless and the stress of it all is driving me …

The Most Stressful Things In Life

Job loss. Been there and it is a tough battle to fight through. Death of a loved one. Unfortunately, I've been through this way to many times in my short 25 years. Apparently in 1970 there was a test done that rated the most stressful circumstancs a person could possible walk through and the leading …

Charleston’s Farmers Market

David and I were finally able to go to the farmers market downtown today after nine months of living here. I was super excited because I wanted to get some fresh vegetables for a chili I am planning on making this week. It was beautiful! Friendly people, gumbo, po' boys, vegetable boths, bread, and so …

R-E-S-P-E-C-T

I am a firm believer in sticking up for yourself and not allowing others to walk all over you. I've had to learn to cool my jets because sometimes I am a little too enthusiastic  when it comes to standing up for myself.  I have gone through a lot in my life and I know …
