Isn’t it funny how the meditations of our hearts and mind can hold us captive at the most unlikely moments? I find that my car is often my space – my creative room. I have started keeping this little blue book beside me as a constant companion. Sometimes I need to capture it all inContinue reading “My Companion”

Never Fall in Love Again
🎶’And it looks likeI’m never gonna fall in love againFall in love, I’m never gonna fall in loveI mean itFall in love again’🎶 For some reason I listened to the lyrics of this song for the first time a few days ago.

Made For This
Their classrooms come alive as passion and purpose collides. Minds are stimulated and challenged as hope burns bright. We give our students room to shine – to be the best version of themselves. Not that we are great but somewhere along the journey there’s the discovery that teaching is such an awesome privilege. One thatContinue reading “Made For This”
Right Back There
I go back there – right back to childhood – mangoes take me there every time. This was our ‘junk food’ especially in the summer months. It’s so funny that now I have to buy mangoes, back then I would walk past mangoes on the ground. My friends who are still living in my islandContinue reading “Right Back There”
I’m Free
I’ve learned the art of saying no – no to them and no to me. I am free to do nothing and go nowhere, if I so choose. Guilt is no longer my bedpartner when I choose me. There are no apologies for not wanting to. Where ever I show up, I am there 100%.Continue reading “I’m Free”

Our world would never be the same. There was an awesome realization that God gave me this precious cargoContinue reading “Our Eyes Met”
I Am Her
Not because I am strong, but His strength infuses me. I have been equipped with all I need to accomplish my God-given purpose. Not that I have always believed it, but You said ‘I am Her’. Follow the bread crumbs and you’ll see the trail that leads to my long list of missteps. None ofContinue reading “I Am Her”
Days and Stories
Apart from my family – most of my days are spent with my students. Their stories fill my days. Last year I asked two of my classes to participate in an activity that would cause them to pause and think for a minute: ‘If your life was movie, what would the title be?‘ For someContinue reading “Days and Stories”
