Today I decided to shine the spotlight on a little girl I met over two decades ago. She is now grown with a family of her own. Standing in purpose, she continues to unfold in the hands of the One who gently molds her into His image. I took that picture over 20+ years ago.Continue reading “A Brave Me”

Silent Pain
I have never lost a child. Never lost a baby in utero. Some data sources indicate that 10-15 percent of pregnancies in the US end in miscarriages. The term ‘silent pain’ was first introduced to me by a college professor. She informed and reminded us that this is a loss that many women do notContinue reading “Silent Pain”
Girl Like Me- Confession
I am perfectly flawed. This is my mid-week confession. I don’t do ‘waiting’ very well. At times it smells like ungratefulness mixed with discontent. One moment I think I’ve mastered the art of complete trust in God and in the process. The next – I’m a mess. Maybe you’re a ‘girl like me’ [or aContinue reading “Girl Like Me- Confession”
Thought You’d Like to Know
Dear Younger Me, It’s some forty-something years late but I felt the need to write to you. There are somethings I thought you’d like to know. First I wanted you to know that you were meant to be here. You were created to thrive not just survive. To live not just exist. Your heavenly FatherContinue reading “Thought You’d Like to Know”
Same Steps
Legacy is an amazing thing! I went back to college a second time when my son was a baby. That’s me at my graduation, twenty-something years old and my son – 3 years old. In 2015, my son graduated from the same college. Here we are – I am sitting on the same steps bothContinue reading “Same Steps”
A Small Cloud
This week I made a joke with one of my students. She didn’t like it and proceeded to tell me so. I apologized. She then left my class. Not one of my finest moments. As I reflected on my response, I smiled. There was a time when I would have been moved from my placeContinue reading “A Small Cloud”
Single and…?
This picture was taken in the 90’s in Central Park, NY. Every now and then when I see this, I wonder who he is. I never saw him, busy posing. No doubt he saw me 😊! The joys of being single and free [to look]😍 . Well – may be it’s not so much joyContinue reading “Single and…?”
He Loves
Another ‘Lovuary’ post – honoring the men who have loved us just because. Loved us in spite of. Loved us without expectations. There is the age-old debate that a man [apart from family] and a woman cannot be friends. I beg to differ. First let me pay homage to daddies, papas, grandpas, uncles, brothers, cousins,Continue reading “He Loves”
It’s Complicated
Complications of the heart. Is this your story this Valentine’s Day ? Maybe you can relate:
Still Standing
A former schoolmate of mine posted this picture and asked us to to title it. ‘Broken But Still Standing’. This was the thought that immediately came to mind as I looked at this house. This house that once was a home. Now broken, ignored, void of laughter and life, but still standing. As we celebrateContinue reading “Still Standing”
