The Road of life


Sometimes I think about the world and our country, and it makes me worry about my children so much. They have so much ahead of them. So many blocks of life that they haven't yet walked down. So many corners unturned. So many challenges.

My oldest daughter is twelve. Soon she'll be going through some changes, they're already starting. I wish I could just hold her hand and guide her through life, helping her make the right choices.

    Juanita, I understand why you might worry about your children. Our granddaughters spent the last night with us. They are so trusting of everything, Jordan is 10 and Kendyl is 5. Whe I tink about the future,I've learned to trust in the Lord with all my heart and to lean not on my own understnding.

    Yes, I've heard that before. It's very good advice. I really do try that, but every now and then I catch myself worrying about things. Thanks for commenting :)

    I really like this picture.

    Change is scary, isn't it? It's hard for me to think that with each year, I lose a little bit of my kid. It's hard. But we'll all be okay.

    I wish my babies were babies again. My oldest will be 12 in the next couple of weeks and I already see the changes. Scary!!!

    I know what you mean. My twelve-year-old will be 13 in March. It is kind of scary.

Nine Easy to use Apps for Small Cash Advances

Photo by Yan Krukov   Cash Advance apps offer people the ability to borrow small amounts of money in the form of cash advances. Some may have additional features, such as credit-building, saving and budgeting tools, and bank accounts. Most require a monthly membership fee and/or service fees that will be deducted from your account at the same time as your advance repayment. You will need to have a bank account with direct deposit from your employer in order to use these apps. Here is a list of nine, no hassle, Cash Advance apps you can use to get from pay check to pay check. Before I list them, I want to advise against using these apps unless it is an emergency. These should only be used every once in a while. If you are having problems getting from paycheck to paycheck, there is likely a bigger issue at hand. I recommend going over your income and expenses and watching your spending, or getting a second job. Click here for the budgeting app that I use and how it

How to Cheat without Getting Caught (What I've Learned from Men)

I remember being cheated on. I remember catching him red handed and listening as he denied the whole thing. I remember wondering if the other woman knew he was married. Odds are, she probably did. I didn't understand it and the truth is, I didn't need to. I just needed to remove myself from the situation. My ex was careless in his cheating. After my experience I began watching how men & women cheat. Cousins, friends, co-workers - it seems that everyone has a "Sneaky Link" or a "Secret Bae." And although the memes would have you thinking otherwise, it's not cute. But still, it's interesting. So here are some of the best tips I've learned on how to cheat without getting caught:  1. Let the person you are cheating with know that you are already married, or in a relationship. Have this conversation with the person from the beginning so they know their role, and so that you can establish boundaries. Be clear that you will not be leaving your spou

He Loves Me, He Loves Me Not

What to do when you're feeling confused. Photo by Felipe Cespedes Love is not a decision. Love is a feeling. The feeling is either there, or it isn't. You know from the beginning, because you feel it from the beginning. You also know if the feeling is mutual. However, what we do sometimes, is ignore the signs that tell us that despite how we feel about him, he doesn't feel the same way. We then kind of waste our own time believing that there is something there, that simply isn't. The truth is, if he loved you, you would know. There would be no confusion, and no doubt. If you find yourself in a situation where you are doubting where it's going and you're not sure if he's feels the same way about you, I recommend asking him directly, "Where is this going? Do you see us working out long term?" If he is unsure, or does not give you a direct answer, then you know what it is. You need to walk away from that situation. Before I get into why, I want to
