You judge what you don't know You don't see past the surface Do you know their struggle Do you know their story You judge what you don't know An unwed mother Someone who's dress in  rags Someone who has an addiction Someone who's overweight Someone who's skinny They're not you and you're not them We are different yet we are the same We all judge We all gossip Do not say you don't We all do it We all sin We all have a heart We all bleed We are born We die It is what is inside that counts Do you know what happens when you judge others We are our own worst enemies We are ourselves tear ourselves down We lose track of the big picture Live and learn Love now Did you ever think that woman felt unloved Did you ever think that person used to be rich and lost it all Did you ever think that they might have an eating disorder Did you ever think that is how they cope We all cope different We all feel different Forgive now Lov...

People don't understand that when I give them a free book they ask for and don't give feed back that they might as well be taking away from my kids and me. I put a lot of work into them. Some of you might not consider it work but writing takes lots of work. I don't mind sharing but you shouldn't expect an author to give their work away for free. We take time to come up with these ideas, they are our emotions, we do cry, scream, get frustrated, and much more during this process. It's like a slap in the face when you don't review our work even if it is a bad review. Bad reviews make us think what can we do to make our work better and sometimes makes us feel bad. Your review helps us get people to recognize our work. Not all of us make much money or any money at all. It isn't as easy as some of you think. Some of us bust our butts at it and self promote ourselves through networks, websites, Youtube videos, blogs, and much more. How would you feel if someone ...

Being a student isn't the easiest job when you go back to school when you wait. My first semester or second semester were my hardest. I was taking twelve hours. At that time I thought I wanted my associates degree in networking. I didn't make very good grades and started feeling a lot of pain in my arm and wrist that semester. After that semester I decided to switch degree plans and am currently going for my technical certificate in photography. I love photography and have learned a lot of new things. It has been less stressful now that I'm taking less hours and doing what I enjoy doing. One smart decision I've made is not taking loans. I know some can't avoid it but with me I've lucked out. I've pulled financial aid and gotten grants. Haven't had much luck with the single parent scholarship except once and that's okay.I'm hanging in there because I want this for me. My kids are proud of me. Before I started to college I received my GED the year ...

Being a parent is more than just taking care of your child and cleaning up their messes. It's more than cooking and playing taxi. It's about spending quality time with your child. It isn't about the quantity of time you spend with them. You could be around them all day and not do a thing with them. It is about doing what they want and not always what you want. It is about that extra bedtime story, that one more show even if that show drives you completely out of your mind, sitting down and eating dinner with them, and much more. It's about helping them with homework and getting them the help they need if you can't help them. It is about listening to your child. Sometimes we get so busy we forget to listen. Sometimes you have to put housework to the side and watch a movie or play a game with them. Sometimes you have to turn your phone off and spend time with them. It is about teaching them to make good decisions even when they see us make bad ones. It is teaching the...

Ever since I found out about all the allergies I have to certain foods it has made things in life a bit difficult. I still eat some of the foods I'm allergic to. I'm trying to eliminate them but it is easier said than done. I will eat some of them from time to time but need to slow down because when I eat them, I break out into hives and live in the bathroom. Shopping isn't easy. I'm gradually losing weight. I'll be glad when I'm down to my goal weight. I still have a lot of work to do. I know I can do it though. I'm doing this for me and no one else. I'm also doing it so I can have energy and be alive for my kids. I've had to take a couple of trips to the ER in the past two months. One was for my chest wall and it being strained. The other time was for a urinary tract infection. I'm staying on top of all of these things because I want to be okay. My health is important to me.

Recently I just started my fall semester of college and next semester I should be done if all goes right. This semester I'm taking Video Production, Photoshop Studio2, and Advanced Photography. So far everything is going well. Start shooting a short film starting Tuesday. In Photoshop I've been editing photo's that I was given to work with to see how different functions in Photoshop work. For my Advanced Photography class I was given an assignment and told to find a subject who has character so I went with a friend of my dads to do that photo shoot. The shoot went well. I'm excited. I'll let you know more as the semester comes along.
