Eighteen years she struggled with an emptiness no one understood. A family and four boys were a blessing. However, many years earlier, in whispers she heard the laughter of a little girl—Selah. Watching and waiting grew painful as the years blew by. Then a small faint giggle traveling through the trees captured her. In dim, hazy moments she mustered up a feeble faith to fight; she searched for a lost little girl. Little did she know, it would take eighteen years to solve the mystery and follow the whispers to her tiny princess in the woods.

Wrecked by Chocolate
We grew up in a simple home filled with plain things. Momma always said, “Less is more—Johnny”, anytime I’d complain about what we didn’t have. I rejected that notion, until the day I entered Kitty’s Cake Eating Competition. The first and second slice weren't so bad, but I was definitely feeling number three. I forced slice number six, and when I finally heard—“We have a winner”, I collapsed covered in a mixture of chocolate vomit. I could hear Momma’s words, “Less is more—Johnny”, ringing in my ears. I would never eat cake again and less would always be more.
