For Them I Pray

June 21, 2018 ~ angelajamison ~ Leave a comment

I recently heard of a father taking his own life. I have watched the news and read the articles of famous people taking their own lives. I have suffered the heartbreak of suicide. My heart hurts. My heart hurts for those lost. It hurts for those who see no other option and feel so alone … Continue reading For Them I Pray

Dear Defeated Mama

June 13, 2018June 13, 2018 ~ angelajamison ~ 2 Comments

Dear Defeated Mama, Take a deep breath. Breathe out the defeat, sadness, frustration and doubt. Some days are harder than others, but you’ve got this and you’re doing a great job! Listen to me…you’re doing a great job! I may be speaking more to myself than to you at this point, but we all need … Continue reading Dear Defeated Mama

Take Time

My husband and I recently returned from an Alaskan cruise. We were gone for almost eleven days with little to no phone or internet service.

My heart is aching and mind reeling. This is real. This is raw. This is foster care. (Link to my blog in comments) #fostermom #babygirl #fosterfamily #wednesday #wednesdayvibes #fosterparents #fostercare #momblogger
My daughter is into drawing portraits and she gifted me this beauty. #tuesday #drawing #portrait #motherhood #artist #childrenwhodraw #tuesdaymorning
Tissues and Gatorade and water, oh my!! I’m spending the weekend in bed, fighting the flu, desperately trying to keep the germs away from the little people in my house. How’s your weekend looking? #saturday #saturdaymorning #sick #momma #flu #stayinbedallday
Celebrating milestones with this sweet girl is bittersweet. On one hand, it’s a blessing to love her another day, especially on this day of love. On the other hand, it’s sad that her biological family is not part of these one time events. She’ll never have another first Valentine’s day. Foster Care is not for the weak of heart. #thursday #thursdaythoughts #happyvalentinesday #valentines #firstvalentinesday #firstvalentines #fostercare #fosterparents #fostermom #fosterfamily #babygirl

Currently, I’m writing this while burping a baby. 😂 #meetwritermoms #momwriter #momblogger #wednesday #wednesdaymotivation #amwriting #amwritingnonfiction #multitasking #multitasker #mom
Day 12 - I’ve not yet released a book, but my day is coming! I have several things on the burner and believe they have a future! #tuesday #tuesdaythoughts #tuesdaymorning #meetwritermoms #momwriter #momblogger #amwriting #amwritingnonfiction #writersofinstagram #writerscommunity
