Retha's Diary

  I wake up every morning and embrace being a fool. Many would associate the word with other derogative terms, but I choose to see it as an opportunity to become something better. Every day, I am given the opportunity and privilege  to learn something new. About myself, about God and everything around me. I wake up a fool but my heart is at ease for every night I lay, I lay wiser than when I woke. What better way to spend my late 20s than by evolving daily? What an honour!

Had it not been for these people and relationships, I believe I wouldn't be here today Secondly, you probably noticed the name change. Now for those who are new here (this is me hoping I reached new readers), the blog was once titled "Diary of a stay at home mom: Retha's world". I know, I get it, it was long. Well I am proud to announce that it is now and will forever be known as "Retha's Diary". Maybe no...
