Not Your Typical EmptyNester

  Hello! It’s been a long while since I’ve written but lots have happened. There are so many lessons that life teachers us. We often do not know that they are lessons until we are licking our wounds caused by this lesson.  I’m a strong believer in God and spirituality. There are battles being fought in the spaces beyond what  we can not physically see. However, as these battles are being fought we are advised to use intuition or discernment to identify what’s not a positive part of our life’s journey. It is in the middle of those spaces that we learn our lessons. It is in those spaces we have encounters with others.

  It's been a while. I haven't posted anything in sometime.  In all transparency, sometimes I am not sure where to go with my ideas. I'm a chronic overthinker. My mind is always racing and moving.  I often have so much to say and no where constructive to offload it. The ideas that I have, the things I have to say are unique. However, there are many ideas that someone out there that will connect with and use my transparent reflections as a comfort in their own time of need. Navigating empty nester life, dating and balancing my own plethora of feelings that flood me from time to time can be difficult. If I happen to touch one person, one mind, one heart, I'd be satisfied.  Source: Facebook/ Ilovethebible Now, storytime!  In this particular post I just want to chronicle some of my dating experiences as an emptynester. You would think because I'm young, my son is over the age of 18,  some men would find that appealing. You would think they would want someone ...
