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. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”

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.Continue reading “Right Before My Eyes”
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 myContinue reading “AMEN”
Small Yet Mighty
I love our fighting spirit. Our can-do attitude. Our resilience. When asked, we’re always up for wholesome competition. A nation of less than 3 million and smaller in size than every state except two (DE, RI), Jamaica is the ‘little engine that could’. Out of approximately 195 countries in the world, we are 160th inContinue reading “Small Yet Mighty”
What If We Begin…
This quote caught my attention this morning: If God could take someone away that you thought you would never lose – imagine the person He could give you that you thought you’d never find. What if we begin to trust God to truly turn the broken pieces into a master piece, the pain into purposeContinue reading “What If We Begin…”
The Remarkable Kind
As a sister girl, the word ‘submission’ can be disconcerting. Why? Your guess is just as good as mine. Maybe it’s because, like many, I hate feeling like a caged bird. It could also be what I’ve observed in human behavior when some are granted power. For some reason, me submitting to you quickly translatesContinue reading “The Remarkable Kind”
My Piece of the Garden
A few weeks ago, I spent a few days with my son in his big city high-rise apartment. There was no balcony, no way to connect the outside. There were moments I felt trapped. I mentioned it to him and he laughed. That was his world and he was at peace with it. In thoseContinue reading “My Piece of the Garden”
Random or By Design?
The longer I live the more I embrace the idea that nothing about my life is random. Whether my encounters make sense or not , whether I understand them or not – I believe in a divine design. What I may call a random act may just be God giving me an opportunity to beContinue reading “Random or By Design?”
You Say
Recently I heard someone say that your tongue is a rudder that determines the direction of the ship you’re sailing in. In essence, what you constantly say or repeat will often influence the direction you’ll be steered in through out life. Scriptures speak about the power of the tongue : “Death and life are inContinue reading “You Say”
Releasing Control
I wish aging was optional – don’t you? It’s not, but maturing certainly is a choice. With the years come some hard learned lessons. One that has been truly real for me is discerning between the things I can change and those I cannot. Then knowing what to do this new found reality. It seemsContinue reading “Releasing Control”
