As mothers we soon realize that our babies were born with a mind of their own. They develop a food palate that often frustrates us. Picky eaters are the worst. Hairstyles, tastes in clothing and music can lead to spirited discussions at times. Their choices in many ways can leave us wondering if they cameContinue reading “Never Easy”

Late Night Musings
My late night reflection: So many of our children are in therapy here in 2025. Why? Where is the simplicity that comes with being a child. I pray our children today learn the simple joys of living. Not just craving for the more and more that never satisfies. I often wonder if us overachievers GenContinue reading “Late Night Musings”
A Day Of Grace
Let’s be honest; many are not the dads we wanted. They don’t all show up like this. We don’t all have these treasured, unforgettable moments with them. The memories are often the ones we want to forget. Marred with coldness, disconnection, lies, hurt, abuse, rejection and abandonment. Some tried, but even at their best theyContinue reading “A Day Of Grace”
Our Eyes Met
The first time my babies’ eyes lock with mine – that moment when they seem to discover that I was their safe space. And the smile that followed. That’s a moment that took my breath away. Our world would never be the same. There was an awesome realization that God gave me this precious cargoContinue reading “Our Eyes Met”
Funny How
My son literally did college with me. As a toddler, he hung out with just about any of my college friends who had some free time. On days when I had babysitting emergencies, they often rotated watching him, so I could get a class or two in. He roamed this campus – very energetic andContinue reading “Funny How”
You are Always on My Mind
I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
A Mama’s Struggle
Today I felt like sharing what I deem a common struggle that mothers [ fathers too] experience. This past weekend I came face to face with the reality that some of my battles might never cease — I have to learn how to take up my armor daily and go to war. Sometimes the warContinue reading “A Mama’s Struggle”
A September to Remember
Many of us remember exactly where we were on 9/11/2001. I do too. Standing on the streets of NYC a few blocks from the World Trade Center- just emerging from the subway. As I watched the first tower burning, I was clueless a New Yorker. Then the unthinkable happened; I saw the 2nd plane crashContinue reading “A September to Remember”
We Hold Them
Recently a friend of mine sent a message letting me know she prayed for my son as he came to her mind and heart. I truly appreciated that message. Everyday I hear the same cry from parents – ‘pray for my children’. When they are young we lift them, hold them in our arms. WhenContinue reading “We Hold Them”
