Previously, I have written about standing up for myself no matter the outcome. Well, here I am again, finding myself in the midst of a storm, of course at work. Interestingly, I only get horrible female bosses who attempt to manage me when they are incapable of governing themselves. I am in a new roleContinue reading “The Battle I Face”

Hello everyone, Thank you for your patience with me during this hiatus. I took some time off to get back to basics and to focus on what’s important. I started to relapse into who I was somewhat, but I caught myself enough to know that the old Rhonda is not who I want to be.Continue reading “I’m Back”

Hello everyone! This year has been a whirlwind for me. I began by breaking chains that kept me feeling like I was slowly sinking in quicksand and started to flourish into the woman that God wants me to be. Rhonda is not complete yet, but I know that I am on the right path. AsContinue reading “Good Bye!”

Let me tell you a recent story and what I’ve learned. I was told to completeContinue reading “You Cannot Stop Me!”

There used to be a time where people were given names for a reason. For example, I am named Rhonda because my dad is named Ron and he wanted me to have his name, my middle name is Anne because that is my mom’s middle name. There are so many reasons why parents choose toContinue reading “Names”

Like leaves, it is important to change, fall, blossom, and flourish only to do it over again. Let me explain. From the day I was born until now, I have changed so many times. Not only physical but mental changes as well. I grew from a child who thinks nothing of the future to aContinue reading “The Cycle”

Hello everyone, Where do I start? It is rare that one truly feels like they can take a deep breath and not choke on the cold, clear, crisp, clean air. For the past week, I have embraced the pain associated with that frigid, refreshing air, and enjoyed every moment of it! Last week, I wroteContinue reading “Rejoice!”
