That’s the proverbial question. I never would have thought that I would go so long without writing. I have tried and been stumped or stopped so many times that now, I believe that I need to move on. This is the 7th year of BellaMiya and I am definitely experiencing the “Seven Year Itch”! Writing […]
It’s been well over a year and I have only written three posts. I’ve sat down to write many times but to no avail. Why? It’s complicated. “NEW HOME, NEW CHAPTER, MOVING FORWARD” was the 1st post I published here. I guess I can look at it as a kind of “orientation phase; exciting and […]
Back in February 2020, I wrote “For the Love of dogs” after we had adopted Anna from” Saving Grace Animals for Adoption”; I knew when I saw her, I wanted to hold her. When she was in my arms, I knew she was the one for me. I loved her instantly and couldn’t wait to […]
Bobby and I recently celebrated our 30th Anniversary! That’s quite a milestone. We’ve been through a lot together. If you’ve read “My Bobby” {bellamiya.com/2020/07/my-bobby} you’ll know the backstory and see pics of our 1st Anniversary in Breckenridge, Colorado. That was extra special and unforgettable. As a token of our appreciation for my parents giving us […]
First of all, I want to say thank you to followers in spite of a really long hiatus. A lot has happened! The short story is our family moved from NC back to FL, close to where it all began. Sounds simple but there was an awful lot to do with almost 30 years’ worth […]
Preface: I started writing this about a month ago and now I have no idea what the issue was. However, I do know that I was at my wits end! I’m writing today to encourage you to trust the One and Only Savior, Jesus Christ. He is the only way to have real peace of […]
There’s nothing more precious than a granddaughter who’s the perfect combination her Mama and Dada whom I love with all my heart. Nicole is so smart, happy, healthy, funny and so beautiful! She’s such a wonderful and sweet blessing to our little family. It’s a special blessing because I see how happy Talia and Donnie […]
Not long after publishing Everyday Inspiration, I lost both of my parents. Mom passed away February 14th and Daddy on March 12th. Saying 2022 was a long year is an understatement. I had to step into a role I’d rather not have but my parents trusted me to take care of them even after they […]
Filled with powerful verses and quotes to encourage and sharpen focus on what matters most, Volume 1 is available now on Amazon and Volume 2 is coming soon!
I finally took Talia’s advice and read some of my own writing. What meant even more was reading the comments on ”Hard Days”. I was reminded that God’s gifts, His will and His word never fail.
