This week has been designated as a week to honor teachers here in my neck of the woods. I shared in another post [Right person, Right Place -Destiny Moments] that this career was never on my vision board growing up. My pastor suggested it and I tried it! One of the best decisions I haveContinue reading “Meant For This”

I Met a Girl
The older I get the more I come to appreciate the people that I have crossed path with. They all came for a reason, some for just a season. I attended college 3 different times. Once I met a girl. Actually, I met many girls [and guys] – some shown below. That girl has stayedContinue reading “I Met a Girl”
My Thoughts
The mind is an amazing store house of treasures. Ever so often some surface that brings a smile to our face. I don’t take for granted that my mind is ‘sound’. Guarding my mind is an intentional act for me daily. Some things are not allowed to take residence there. I choose to leave ‘space’Continue reading “My Thoughts”
The Anchor Holds
This is a reminder and an encouragement for those readers who feel like they are drowning under the weight of their current circumstances. It seems like ‘every thing that could go wrong, has gone wrong’. You feel like you are in the ‘perfect storm’. Your vision is blurred and there seem to be no wayContinue reading “The Anchor Holds”
The Love That Won’t let Go
Love is one of those mysteries of life. It drives us to do things that boggles the mind some times. It causes mothers to become ferocious warriors, fathers to rise up like giants, men to climb mountains and women to swim rivers. We often act seemingly foolish and do the impossible because of love. WithContinue reading “The Love That Won’t let Go”
Dear Mama
I am a daughter, not a son. However, over the years I have heard the stories of many men and boys who have been parented by scarred, flawed women. The struggle has been real. In Girl Like Me, I mentioned that, ‘many times girls like me who haven’t traveled the road of restoration in aContinue reading “Dear Mama”
Why I Don’t…
I don’t eat chocolate [or anything chocolate]. I don’t eat shellfish of any kind – never have. People are always curious as to why – especially chocolate. There’s the proverbial question, ‘What’s wrong with you?’ Right? Who doesn’t eat chocolate? Well there’s always a ‘ reason why’. For some of us the ‘why’ is wellContinue reading “Why I Don’t…”
That Ache
I wrote this piece below about 8 years ago. Not sure who or what this was about. It may have been about me or someone else. Today as I reflect on someone I recently had a conversation with, I sense the same ache. The same searching, the same longing and the same emptiness. Have youContinue reading “That Ache”
Lasting Memories
Do you remember that old song – ‘ Memories They Don’t Leave Like People Do’? I’m not sure how much of that is true; over the years I have forgotten a lot. Some memories, however, are forever imprinted in my heart and mind. The good ones make me smile; others make me sigh. This pictureContinue reading “Lasting Memories”
Do you Remember that ‘No’?
It seems like a distant memory, doesn’t it? That day , however, may have been dark. You felt the disappointment searing through your body. For a minute, the world stopped. You may have wondered if you could get past this. You were sure this was meant for you. Yet, there you stood grappling with thatContinue reading “Do you Remember that ‘No’?”
