Once upon a time, I thought I knew who i was and where I was headed. Doesn't that sound like the beginning of a really good story? More like the fairy tale that it is copied from. Fantasy - fairy tale - false premise for sure. Seriously, does anyone know themselves, or where they are really …
Author: A Silver Garden
I am all things (wife, mom, sister, daughter, housekeeper, gardener, friend, employee, teacher, student, mentor, intern, leader, follower, disciplinarian, judge, jury, witness, victim, advocate, reader, writer, believer, sinner, blessed, and a child of God), yet,

Celebrating My (restored and much better) Marriage
Our third anniversary is this month, although, not that long ago I would not have even believed that it would be possible to be married again after a divorce. I would have said it was even less likely to be so happily remarried to my first husband!
