ABOUT
Renee DeMont
My name is Renee. I only just recently figured out my last name (after a long path of poverty, foster care, adoption, and divorce). I chose the surname of DeMont, the name someone listed on my birth
I choose to write in a sincere effort to reconcile my past with my present. Hopefully, through this cathartic process, my second half will be led by my soul’s desire, rather than by my fears and doubts of the first half.
I like naps near fireplaces, tasty spontaneous lunches with friends, Love of all kinds, droplets of rain, being a good daughter to my wonderful father, my children’s giggles when they make each laugh, taking adventures around the world, receiving out of the blue texts from an old friend, and iced tea with extra ice.
I’m a blog reading fanatic, Facebook keeps me connected to those precious folk I truly care about, I desperately want to see and work at ending childhood hunger, and I’d like to get a massage once in a while.
Love yourselves, love each other, hug snugly, kiss tenderly, and smile joyfully whenever you can. That alone is enough.

I Won’t Do That Again
Do you have a thing or two you have vowed never to do again? I have a list. As I grow older, and hopefully wiser, the list gets longer. I will never worry if my truth conflicts with your beliefs. My thoughts work for me. Your beliefs are your business. Not mine to...
