When I discovered the art of choosing my battles wisely – I decided to never lose it. Not every battle involves my purpose or my destiny. Hence it does not require my attention. Not every question needs to be answered. Not every question needs to be asked. Though they vie for my attention – notContinue reading “It’s Okay”

Life’s Lessons
We often hear, ‘be careful what you wish for- you just might get it!’ To be purified and refined requires walking through some stuff. Most of us yearn to be a ‘better me’ – we desire growth and maturity. God’s way to get us there isn’t always easy. While we may prefer a cruise ship,Continue reading “Life’s Lessons”
All I Need
As a mom of two boys, I had front row seats to the battle with clutter. Toys, gadgets, clothes, and more toys. The second time around as a mom, I was over it in many ways. I realized my son never asked for the excesses. Many of the toys and gadgets were ignored after aContinue reading “All I Need”
Raging Storms
I grew up in a hurricane zone. Storms, hurricanes, and flooding are no strangers to me. Though I am not consumed by fear of nature’s song and dance, I am well aware of its rage and power. Today it has been forecasted that we’ll be in the path of Uncle Milton. All around, there’s aContinue reading “Raging Storms”
One Day
One day at the age of 20, I looked around and saw beautiful smiling faces staring at me. They inhaled everything I said. Some were hungry to learn. They stayed with me after school, asked a lot of questions and trusted me to help guide them to their better tomorrows. They believed in me. SuddenlyContinue reading “One Day”
The Now
This weekend past, I stood in a cemetery with some special people. We watched some workmen labor to prepare loved ones graves for headstones. These were our loved ones. Their lives mattered and they were loved. I watched them in their lifetime sow seeds and make deposits that are still paying dividends today. Their prayersContinue reading “The Now”
It’s Okay
It’s okay to take the road that seems less traveled. To do it alone if no one wants to go with you. Others may not necessarily ‘get’ or even support your dream and that’s okay. The dream or desire was not planted in their heart – it was planted in yours. You have been equippedContinue reading “It’s Okay”
The Truth I Own
Since the advent of social media and its likes, I’ve noticed that so many voices are jockeying for a space in our heads. ‘I’m living my truth’ is now a common phrase that repeatedly litters the airwaves and print alike. We hear of alternative facts, normative truth, objective truth and subjective truth. Have you everContinue reading “The Truth I Own”
Dreams Realized
Many things cause my tears to flow! The way a boy loves his mom and a girl adores her dad. Watching the ‘underdog’ win. Seeing poetry made out of a shattered life. A blind eye seeing beauty for the first time. When a tired weary soul finds rest in the arms of the God whoContinue reading “Dreams Realized”
Face-to-Face
For a minute, I sat reflecting on some of the dreaded things I’ve dealt with over the years. Some I’ve leapt over, others I’ve had to barrel my way through and a few have drop-kicked me for sure. For the most part however, I’ve just learned how to confront my fears head on. Face-to-face –Continue reading “Face-to-Face”
