Friday’s Whisper
Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. As…
Seated With the Wise
This Thanksgiving I had breakfast with my neighbors – fifty plus years of marriage, proven ministry, children and numerous grandchildren. We had delicious escovitch fish [with cassava bammy]- a Jamaican staple. While we dined and chatted – I soaked in wisdom. Listening attentively, my heart grabbed a hold of something I have experienced but never…
Right Before My Eyes
Every life lesson I’ve learned this year is counted in my book as a great event. On the other side of each lesson – a better me emerged. I’ll share a recent one. About 3 years ago, I decided to give up a side gig at a college where I’d worked for about 10 years.…
My Smile- My Hair
“If you’re reading this…Congratulations, you’re alive. If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.” [Borrowed] God, somehow, did not gift me with the ability to master styling hair. For that reason, I love my ponytails [bought]- they are convenient and easy to maintain. However, there is nothing I love more…
Wednesday’s Wisdom
This morning I came across a clip on a post from ‘Turning Point’. It resonated so much with me – I think it’s worth repeating. This is a lesson I was taught a few years back as I discovered how we allow others to take us to unhealthy places. We give people permission to make…
Never Easy
As mothers we soon realize that our babies were born with a mind of their own. They develop a food palate that often frustrates us. Picky eaters are the worst. Hairstyles, tastes in clothing and music can lead to spirited discussions at times. Their choices in many ways can leave us wondering if they came…
Ask Me
Ask me why we smile amidst pain and loss. How we laugh out loud while the tears are flowing. Ask me how we dance in the rain and sleep in the lion’s den. We are familiar with the fight. Struggle is part of what gives us defined mental and emotional fortitude. Ask me how I…
The First Time
Not sure I have a favorite month. However, if I were to choose one, it would be the month I took my first breath outside the womb. December. The month the world and I first said hello. I’m sure it was cool and quite festive. Most people were probably in a good mood with a…
AMEN
So be it. Let it be. An affirmation of agreement. I saw this t-shirt on a student recently. So grateful he permitted me to take this shot. This has been part of my roadmap to peace. It has helped to clear out much of the ‘other options’ life offers. This is how I’ve simplified my…
Work in Progress
When I saw this prompt, the lyrics of an old song (that I don’t know very well) popped in my mind. It reminds me that we don’t ‘arrive’ at the snap of a finger. We often need time to heal, to get it right, to move on, to gain clarity, and to ‘get it together’.…
