Welcome to Life in Stepping Stones
There are a million moments in life that make you who you are. My name is Justine Thomas and if someone were to tell me when I dropped out of high school at 16 years old that I would one day run a film set, record a CD, build and own a restaurant, travel, and have a beautiful family all before I turn thirty, I wouldn't have believed them. Life has thrown me a lot of curveballs along the way, from dreams crashing down and other dreams coming true. For all of the ups and downs, they've led me to who I am today, and I'm grateful for it. Now as a stay-at-home mom, I'm learning a million more things about who I am, the dreams I strive for, and the new adventures I can pursue. These are my moments.

There are so many ups and downs that life throws our way. We can choose to bottle our emotions or share them with others in hope that we can help someone else through their own personal struggles. Nobody should ever feel alone. From my story behind dropping out of high school, my miscarriage and rainbow baby pregnancy, family drama, motherhood, and more, these are my stories.
