    You loved your parent(s) with all your might but love wasn’t given back. It doesn’t mean your feelings became invalid the day you realized they didn’t care. As a child you can only know what you are taught. It can be confusing when a parent or guardian appears to love you when others are around…

    Our website has recently changed in a big way (a good way). After a lot of prayer and conversations we’ve finally changed it to be about our ministry instead of just a shop. It has been on my heart for years to start a ministry for children who have suffered from abuse, sexual abuse, neglect,…

    I’ve noticed over the years that there is a rising number of people coming out and speaking about cutting ties with narcissists whether they were friends, romantic relationships, or relatives.One of the things I don’t see talked about very often is the grief that can come with cutting those ties.

    I’ve finally finished adding the Character Animals segment to my portfolio on the website. Each character has their own little story that we’ve been working on. If you’d like to read their introductions you can find them here. Some of the characters are more developed than others but we at least have their background story…
