Let Go

Back in my old stomping ground for a quick visit. Watching the city that never sleeps ‘wake up’, from my son’s high-rise apartment. I love the ‘Big Apple’ for more reasons than one. I may chat about that at another time. What I want to focus on is that message in the window. I getContinue reading “Let Go”

The Road Ahead

This is my last post dedicated to our graduates. A season has ended and now you are moving into an unknown tomorrow. I remember the words of a great educator who influenced my life as a teenager in college , ‘never confuse the beginning with the end’. This is the beginning of a ride thatContinue reading “The Road Ahead”

I Didn’t Get to Say Goodbye

I love to look back at old pictures. It allows me to reflect. Most of my pictures were taken at a moment in time when there was something , some place, event, or someone with me that mattered. Sadly, many times those places and people are no more. I love this picture not because there’sContinue reading “I Didn’t Get to Say Goodbye”

Did I ?

I took this picture a few years ago as I sat in a classroom waiting for students to arrive. If I remember well, it was a group I was meeting for the first time. Yesterday, I stared at the picture and wondered about those students who graced the walls of this room. Those who satContinue reading “Did I ?”

Tired

A friend of mine sent me this sticky note this week. With that she wrote one line ,’ I’m closing my business by July 31.’ I responded letting her know that I support her whatever she chooses to do. As I thought about this little sticky note – I realized that we need the wisdomContinue reading “Tired”

A Brave Me

Today I decided to shine the spotlight on a little girl I met over two decades ago. She is now grown with a family of her own. Standing in purpose, she continues to unfold in the hands of the One who gently molds her into His image. I took that picture over 20+ years ago.Continue reading “A Brave Me”

For You

We take the time to celebrate mothers this weekend. For some reason my heart is drawn to those who find it difficult to celebrate. I see you – I feel you. I stand with you. Some may not understand why a day like today brings you little joy. You may also find yourself in thisContinue reading “For You”

Meant For This

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”

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”
