My Safe Space
We met in 1983 – you walked me through my first struggle with the ‘affairs of the heart’. She’s now tattered and torn. Pages stained with age. The ink is fading but the memories live on. She was where I emptied my soul, where my prayers, dreams and hopes were penned. Tears fell in herContinue reading “My Safe Space”
Hello Me
Lesson Learned: ‘Put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others’. An important life lesson I choose to continue to embrace as I enter this new year. It’s nothing new but it has kept me from imploding time and time again. This is not the chronicle of the self-indulged, self-absorbed narcissist. One may say it’sContinue reading “Hello Me”
Not always
As we move towards the end of the year, I love to reflect. How have I grown? Any lessons learned in this amazing classroom called life?

My Way
About that night: I danced in the lights and the flurries of the fake snow. It was my birthday and I wanted to do something different. So often the child in us goes to sleep as we start adulting.

Here the fountain of youth meets me in a refreshing way. My baby girls are all grownContinue reading “Guess the Place”
Move With Me
Sometimes I feel like walking until I reach the ‘end of me’. When the noise gets too much in my head. The thoughts swirl around like a tornado on a war path – I walk. As nature sings of God’s goodness, I too am led to join in the chorus. The movement of my limbsContinue reading “Move With Me”
Another Day in Waiting
This is sunset in my native country. The day is drawing to an end. Sometimes when things approach their end, we can relax, reflect, and enjoy all that was accomplished. Other times the end brings a lingering sense of disenchantment and disappointment. As the year slows to an end, many are restless with dreams orContinue reading “Another Day in Waiting”
