About Samantha
mother| amputee |widow
While these are all a big part of who I am,
they do not define me. They have shaped
me as they are part of my journey, but only
God gets the credit for creating me.
I am an unpublished author.
Blogger. Photographer. Life's Inspirer.
I don't sugar coat. I am unapologetic.
I am who I am.
Everyone is on their own journey.
Everyone has a story to tell.
Join me on my journey, as I tell my story.
