About me

Gender Female
Occupation Mama and Online Clothing Reseller
Location Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, United States
Introduction Forty-three year-old, mother and staunch advocate of four young children, passionate warrior of truth and self, finding the soul in each day, sharing my struggles and triumphs as I live them. Mostly I do this for me, so my thoughts don't race as much at night as they used to. But I also give this to those of you who need to know, in any or every way, that you are not alone.

If you could peer far enough into the night sky, you'd see a star in any direction you looked. When would you sleep?

When the smell of my babies, nestled snuggly against my body, became so intoxicating that I had to close my eyes and sink into their world of peace.
