Sami Jankins

Once upon a time, Sami Jankins decided that she wanted Mr. Real instead of Prince Charming.

To those who may be a little lost right now… life is surprising and confusing. I don’t know what it is you are going through that may have thrown your planned path off course. Maybe you have lost a loved one. Maybe your health was stable, only to have taken a shocking turn into the land of chronic illness and doctor appointments.

Dating can be messy. A lot can go wrong when two imperfect strangers meet. They may not get along. What you have on your hands is an impending break up. Is there a proper way to go about this?

I'm proud of my naturally curvaceous shape, but when your body is out of your control, it's nearly impossible to maintain that pride.

We are all one bad fall, one car accident, one bodily breakdown from living within a place that is largely unimaginable to those who aren't there.
