A Woman's Work – Brooke Basically Blogging

God got my attention two weeks ago. Next time God just tap me on my shoulder and save all of the dramatics. I almost lost my daddy. He’s a private and very humble man. I didn’t take to Facebook to give you all a play by play. I needed to go into my prayer closet, … More Call 911

I’m glad that I shared my fear blog with all of you. It’s a reminder that we all struggle. I still haven’t made my decision yet. But I’m peace with where my heart is leading me. My friend Rene told me to read You Are A Badass. I began to think that sounds like something … More Badass Brooke

Lately, I’ve stepped out of my comfort zone. Others were surprised and I even surprised myself. I guess you can say I’m into my feelings like Drake sings about in his latest album. I’ve always loved dancing. I have no problem dancing by myself on the dance floor surrounded by complete strangers. So when our … More Just Dance
