Live. Laugh. Love. Did you have one of that wall plaque? I did. For some reason we needed that reminder. Life can get serious pretty fast, sucking the joy out of every moment. Laughter adds music and life to living. From childhood to adulthood, I have found every reason to laugh. That’s just who IContinue reading “Crack Me Up”

Here and Now
I don’t know maybe it’s the 50 plus vibe – I find myself more focused on the here and now. I’ve lived long enough to recognize that my days are numbered. Somewhere along the way I found out that I can do nothing about the past. I can embrace the lessons learned especially from thoseContinue reading “Here and Now”
2023-Photobombed
Upon doing some research, I discovered the term ‘photobombing’ emerged somewhere in the early 2000s. It gained some momentum a few years later. One source describes it as the act of deliberately inserting oneself into the background of a photograph without the knowledge of those being captured. It is meant to be humorous and harmless.Continue reading “2023-Photobombed”
You are Some of My Favorites
We were not meant to be an island. I love this writing prompt -‘ Who are Your Current Most Favorite People?’ This brings a smile to my face. I have many favorites including the obvious – my children (biological and bonuses), siblings, and parents. I have also been equally blessed with some amazing friends andContinue reading “You are Some of My Favorites”
He Lied
A few weeks ago I asked someone in my circle to do something – nothing really serious. He gave me the impression that he did when in fact he hadn’t done what I asked. It wasn’t a big deal, I moved on and got it done otherwise. The truth is, I was oblivious to theContinue reading “He Lied”
Shine Bright
A few Saturdays ago I attended an ornament exchange party with some beautiful ladies. There was a lot of laughter and childlike joy. I may be a bit partial, but as ladies we know how to have a good time with little or a lot. As ornaments were exchanged you got to see the personality andContinue reading “Shine Bright”
I Think I Get It
The older I get, the more I realize there’s a method to everyone’s perceived madness. If I take the time to listen, I might get it. Get why you do the things you do. Why you dance to the beat of your drum and don’t feel the need to explain your misunderstood insanity. At anotherContinue reading “I Think I Get It”
Choose Well
Something I read today hit me in a real place. Primarily because I have had my fair share of poor choices and have had to deal with the consequences. The writer commented,” Real freedom isn’t about having the liberty to gratify your every appetite; it’s about refusing to become a slave to unhealthy desires” [TheContinue reading “Choose Well”
If I Could I Would
If I could, I would protect you from the sadness in your eyes…I know I can never cry your tears. But I would if I could [Regina Belle, 1993]. Don’t you wish you could sometimes? On the last day of classes my students used the prompt ‘If I could, I would…’ to create sentences asContinue reading “If I Could I Would”
Never Forget
As seasons change, chapters close, new doors open and fresh new challenges present themselves—we find ourselves prone to forget how we got over in the first place. We quickly lose sight of Who walked us through the last rodeo. I’m sure you’ve noticed that life consists of a series of strategically designed battles. To maintainContinue reading “Never Forget”
