Girlfriends. Don’t do life without them. February 13th has been dubbed Gallentine’s Day – “a day for women to celebrate their friendships with their female friends”. It’s not an anti-Valentine scheme rather it’s in the spirit of celebrating the women in our lives. Our sisters, mothers, grandmas, aunts, cousins, and day ones. The ones whoContinue reading “Through The Years”

A Different Tune
As a teen and even in my forties, I loved concerts. The energy, the crowd, the lights – the noise. Over the last few years, I may go but at times it feels forced. Now it just feels like something to do but it ignites little in me. One thing I am happy about –Continue reading “A Different Tune”
Their Eyes
A student gave me this stone plaque for my birthday recently. She commented that when she saw it – she immediately saw me. Have you ever wondered how those in your circle view you? Especially those who rarely say much to you. Those who watch you from afar – a rare smile or wave. DoesContinue reading “Their Eyes”
Shielded
Today I received a message to pray for a newborn and family. The baby was delivered prematurely weighing 1.8lbs. My mind and heart immediately reflected on the times I’ve complained about my children. The ones who were born healthy with no complications and full-term. That challenging pregnancy and delivery was never my story. How weContinue reading “Shielded”
High Fives
Encouraging. Reframing. Teaching. Releasing. Being Me. Not because I have perfected these, but life has led me down pathways that has required me to do these over and over. I firmly believe that you can get good at what you practice – willingly or unwillingly. These ‘fives’ are high on my list. The beautiful blendContinue reading “High Fives”
Let’s Talk
This is an interesting question. One that requires a personal conversation with oneself. Today I celebrated another year of God’s goodness. December 8th – the day I first saw light. Birthdays, especially as the decades roll by, are days we often reflect. Some of us sink into the deep abyss of regrets, some get drunkContinue reading “Let’s Talk”
Friday’s Whisper
Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”
Seated With the Wise
This Thanksgiving I had breakfast with my neighbors – fifty plus years of marriage, proven ministry, children and numerous grandchildren. We had delicious escovitch fish [with cassava bammy]- a Jamaican staple. While we dined and chatted – I soaked in wisdom. Listening attentively, my heart grabbed a hold of something I have experienced but neverContinue reading “Seated With the Wise”
Right Before My Eyes
Every life lesson I’ve learned this year is counted in my book as a great event. On the other side of each lesson – a better me emerged. I’ll share a recent one. About 3 years ago, I decided to give up a side gig at a college where I’d worked for about 10 years.Continue reading “Right Before My Eyes”
My Smile- My Hair
“If you’re reading this…Congratulations, you’re alive. If that’s not something to smile about, then I don’t know what is.” [Borrowed] God, somehow, did not gift me with the ability to master styling hair. For that reason, I love my ponytails [bought]- they are convenient and easy to maintain. However, there is nothing I love moreContinue reading “My Smile- My Hair”
