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”
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”
Never Easy
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”
The First Time
Not sure I have a favorite month. However, if I were to choose one, it would be the month I took my first breath outside the womb. December. The month the world and I first said hello. I’m sure it was cool and quite festive. Most people were probably in a good mood with aContinue reading “The First Time”
Work in Progress
When I saw this prompt, the lyrics of an old song (that I don’t know very well) popped in my mind. It reminds me that we don’t ‘arrive’ at the snap of a finger. We often need time to heal, to get it right, to move on, to gain clarity, and to ‘get it together’.Continue reading “Work in Progress”
Wasted Moments
How to sleep. The story is told of an elderly lady in a war torn area, who went to sleep peacefully, amidst the dropping of bombs. When asked how she was able to this, she commented that God ‘does not slumber nor sleep’. If God is awake it made no sense for her to stayContinue reading “Wasted Moments”

Less of That
This morning I went walking along my usual route. I love walking. As I breathed in the fresh morning air, I reflected on the number of times I’d walked that road- worried. Days when there were more questions than answers. Slowly I began to realize, everything that held me captive those days were no longerContinue reading “Less of That”
