The Miracle Book
It was warm out as Faith walked down the sidewalk towards the parking lot of the old library. The sun felt good on her skin so she took her time going to her car. It wasn’t anything fancy but she loved her small VW bug. For her last birthday her mother had gotten the car painted the most perfect shade of pink. Faith smiled to herself thinking of all the small things her mother had done for her. Their bond was tighter than any other she had. Faith was an only child, or as her mother called her, a miracle child. Her mother had been told many times by many doctors that she would never have a child of her own. It was on a blind first date that Faith was created. After a very tricky nine months, Faith came into this world red-faced and screaming. When she was placed in her mother’s arms, she quieted and just stared at her mother.

Music Saved Me
It's funny as an adult to look back on those defining moments that made you who you are. For me, it was when I was fifteen and discovered music as a safe place where I could just be without judgement or expectations. I had always felt like I didn't quite fit in but could never put my finger on exactly why. When I was younger I had many friends but as we all grew older, we became distant as new groups were forms and many of us were labeled as outcasts. Me and a few others gravitated together since we did not fit into any of the other popular groups. I was a teacher's pet and a nerd but back then, it was not cool to be so. I was a chubby girl that wasn't rich or athletic. I wanted friends and to be apart of some kind of group, I just didn't know how to accomplish this. So, I grew farther and farther into my own little bubble. I had my books which allowed me a certain level of escape to various adventures where I didn't have to be me for a time. Then, there was my music. I grew up in a time where the music was amazing. The eighties and nineties truly had the best music; I would probably include the seventies into this musical world of mine as well.

My Heart Belongs In Bluebell
Let me start by saying that I am a middle aged single mom who suffers from anxiety and insomnia, among other things. I have discovered that binge-watching certain shows helps me to calm my mind and get out of my head for a little while. With that being said, my greatest binge-worthy love is a show called Hart of Dixie. I fell totally in love with this show one night while I was trying to find something to numb my troubles. I have always loved medical shows and the ones with romantic storylines are even better. I read the brief bio which stated that Dr. Zoe Hart from NYC moves to a small town named Bluebell in Alabama to further her medical career but discovers love and friendship, sounded like just what I was looking for. After the first episode I was completely hooked. Not only did her life's plan not go her way, but there was constantly obstacles that she had to overcome just to get by.
