BSM

Blind Spot Monitoring system [ BSM] is a safety mechanism in my car that warns me of other vehicles in my blind spot. It alerts me with an LED light in the corresponding side view mirror. The main intent is to aid drivers with lane changes and prevent accidents. Honestly, this has helped me aContinue reading “BSM”

The Road Ahead

Destination addiction is a chronic condition that plagues a lot of us. Truthfully I’ve had to fight the urge to be obsessed with ‘ that someday’ when I’ll be happy or fulfilled. When I turn 18, get married, graduate college, get my dream job, have a baby, purchase my dream house, retire, or lose thatContinue reading “The Road Ahead”

We Made It!

I had to squeeze in one last post for 2022! This year came with many great moments and some others that pulled the best and worst out of me. Cried some tears, faced one of my greatest fears – had to stop and BREATHE a time or two. I stayed committed to this blog andContinue reading “We Made It!”

Peace Or Right

As we navigate the holiday season and move towards the new year we often do some inner reflection. As I age gracefully, being at peace has become so much more important to me than being right. I guard my space where ever I go -I choose to operate in the spirit of peace. The bibleContinue reading “Peace Or Right”

Lasting Memories

They say ‘memories don’t leave like people do – they always stay with you. Whether they’ve been good or bad’. Not sure how true this is. Christmas fell on a Sunday 2005, 2011, and 2016. Funny I tried so hard to remember what those Christmases looked like; I remember nothing. It could have been thatContinue reading “Lasting Memories”

Here I am

December is one of my favorite months of the year for many reasons. Apart from coolness of the season, Christmas [and all that comes with that]; it is my birth month. Over five decades ago, my mother chose to give birth to me. I’m not sure what her frame of mind was at that momentContinue reading “Here I am”

Losing Sight

Today was the last day of class in my city before the Thanksgiving break. Because many of my students are fairly new immigrants, most are not familiar with some of the history behind many of our federal holidays. This week we took a brief look at early American history; this included a look at theContinue reading “Losing Sight”

Can’t Do Both

This a quick mid-week shout-out to a special group of people. This morning, in my conversation with God, I told Him that I couldn’t have two particular situations happening in my life at the same time. I couldn’t walk through both simultaneously. The truth is – I DIDN’T want to do both. The reality isContinue reading “Can’t Do Both”

10, 000 Reasons

Today [10/21/22] marks the one year anniversary of my first blog post. Yippee! Earlier this week, WordPress sent a congratulatory note that my site had passed 10, 000 views from over 74 countries. I take a moment to salute and thank all who stopped by to read, comment and share in my journey. You haveContinue reading “10, 000 Reasons”

He Didn’t Protect Me

Recently I saw a lot of parents celebrating their daughters. Apparently it was National Daughter Day. We don’t necessarily need a day to laud our children, but I thought the gesture was beautiful. Somewhere during the day , I couldn’t help but thinking about the daughters who were left open and bare to that monsterContinue reading “He Didn’t Protect Me”
