Guest Blogger Month: Post #6

It is very humbling to read stories from peoples lives. Each soul has a journey of their own. And to learn from one another, as I said when I kicked off this month of LOVE,  is the ultimate in humanity. Enter guest blogger month author #6. Alex is a multi faceted individual.

Guest Blogger Month: Post #5

I hope you have been enjoying this guest blogger series so far.  It is awesome to gain insight into all the different ways LOVE can manifest itself in the world.  As much as I bang on about the topic myself, since I’ve been receiving submissions I’ve been in floods of tears.  I’m  reading some powerful stories my friends and it’s my honor to share them on Yankee Doodle Paddy.  Certainly all of us have heard of the line from the marriage vows, “in sickness and in health” well today’s author and her husband have certainly experienced that.  Continue reading
