It’s been a while since the last time I’ve written a blog. I could list a million and one excuses as to why I haven’t focused more of my time on writing. These past months many of you have inquired about my blogs and wanted to know when to expect the next one. My go-to […]
Hey Everyone! It’s been a while since my last blog and I wanted to check in before the new year. I’ve been very quiet in my writing lately. I felt I had nothing really to say. The word ‘empty’ continued to come up in my heart and mind. I’ve felt empty lately because I’ve come […]

My name is Ashley and I’m 30 years old. I live in Long Island, NY with my family and enjoy attending church at Abundant Life Family Worship Church in New Brunswick, NJ. I value the free time I can spend in NJ and use those moments to refuel on peace and joy by surrounding myself […]
The holidays are now over. For some, the Christmas decorations are coming down, vacations are done, and unfortunately, it is now time to return to your daily routine. You have officially made it through the holiday blues. You may say okay, “I got through this holiday season now what?” Last year was the first holiday […]
