#BeREALationships welcomes Michelle Poston Combs. We’re in the 21st century and we still struggle when defining family. Which is stupid, your family is who you say your family is. It’s quite simple. My husband and I have been together for 21 years. His daughters became part of my life when they were 9 and 12…
Please welcome Rachel E Bledsoe to #BeREALationships. I’m used to being alone. I prefer the silence. When you’re alone, no one expects anything from you. You rely solely on yourself.

Please welcome Renee DeMont to #BeREALationships Tell me one thing you are super proud of yourself for this week. I want you to brag about yourself. None of this being humble crap. Give it to me. I want to be proud of you too. #bereal When I read HastyWord’s post I didn’t hesitate to comment:…
Please welcome Cee Streetlights to #BeREALationships. I had been in labor since May when my water finally broke in July.
