One year ago today SophieMaeJames.com was born. Launched. Published. Shoved down your throats. Whichever adjective you choose, it happened 365 days ago today. I had just gone through one of the hardest weeks of my life and had an urge to share. Share my story with the good ole World Wide Web. Not for attention, […]
Same day — different year | Feeling joyful.
October 3rd, 2017 — I was in PACU recovering from a surgery that saved my fallopian tube but ended in our second miscarriage. Today, October 3rd, 2018 — I am sitting on my back porch, smiling and drinking a beer because guess what I can? Of course, I would give anything to be holding my […]
Tears at night, smiles in the morning
Dear overly emotion-self, Hey, me again. You remember me? That crazed lunatic who has so many emotions she has no idea what to do with them. Well while I haven’t written to you in a while doesn’t mean I have forgotten about you. The truth is, I am getting my ass-royally kicked in nursing school. […]
Remembering 9/11 💔🇺🇸❤️
September 11, 2001. 9/11 — The day the world stopped spinning. A day no one can forget. A day that can still send shivers down my spine. I, like most Americans, remember oh so clearly. Remember where I was, what I was doing, and all the emotions I felt. — I was in the start […]
A is for Anxiety
The letter A has always had a lot of meaning for me. As odd as it sounds, A is my favorite letter. It is the first letter of the alphabet, the first letter of my first name, a symbol of a good grade on a test, one of my seven tattoos. When people see the […]

My personal “D-Day” |The dreaded heartbreak
Dear any human’s who had interaction with me yesterday, I woke up this afternoon (thank you night shift for throwing off my days/sleep schedule) grabbed my phone and just stared at the date.

The Story of Us… <3| Dating, Marriage and almost Divorce
Saturday brings mine and Shaine’s eleventh wedding anniversary. Which brings me so many emotions, one of being HOLY SH!T! How is it even possible that we have been married for eleven years and together for the last twelve and a half? We are getting close to being together longer than we ever were apart, which is […]
Another month, another period | Infertility’s worst enemy.
Dear Diary, Each day living with infertility is different. Each day I wake up either completely happy and content with life, or a bit disappointed. Let me preface this by saying I have a great life I know I do BUT something is missing. Something down deep inside aching to break free, aching to come […]
A year of travel: February Edition. (Our trip to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg TN)
A new week and a new post all about my year of travel. A few weeks ago I wrote about how I made it a goal of mine to travel once a month, to a new place, or experience something new each month of 2018. For February Shaine and I rented a cottage in Sevierville, […]
