This is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. I love the details – to know the where, the when, and how fast. Why do I want this information? I’m not too sure, but I love having it. Don’t you wish life offered this channel as an option. If you’re like me, thereContinue reading “Sometimes I Want to Know”

I’m Trying
I’ve been on a mini staycation for the last view days. Unwinding, recalibrating and relaxing- by myself. I took this picture as a reminder of the imperfect me; the one I’m working on. At home I noticed this behavior: I have a habit of leaving cabinet and cupboard doors opened. They don’t stay open forContinue reading “I’m Trying”
Eyes Opened
Yesterday I rode ‘The Eye’ – 400ft up. There was beauty to be seen from a different vantage point. While on another ride a few months ago, a lady beside me said, “You can’t see the beauty with your eyes closed.” There were parts of the ride where I had closed my eyes while screamingContinue reading “Eyes Opened”
Where I’d Love to Be
It’s spring break here in my county! That there ☝🏾is where I’d love to be – exploring my native island. Not possible this year, so I’ll embrace my mini staycation here in the Sunshine State. Funny how as we get older we learn to make the most of our reality. Our sophisticated temper tantrums areContinue reading “Where I’d Love to Be”
You Left Me
The cry of many hearts for years, decades and even a lifetime. ‘You left me’. This morning, I reflected on a college mate of mine whose story touched my heart as teenager. I’ll call her ‘Anya’ for the purpose of this post. Her mother left her as a young girl with her dad and brothers.Continue reading “You Left Me”
Feelings – Nothing More
For a few months I’ve not been writing as often as I used to. A number of events or situations may have contributed to this trench I find myself in. If I’m to be honest however, I can easily attribute it to one major thing – feelings. Yesterday I ignored those pesky ‘enemies of creativity’Continue reading “Feelings – Nothing More”
My Black Story
February has been designated Black History Month and now it comes to an end. As an island girl I never grew up super conscious of being black. I never had to shout it out loud or defend being black. I never needed to wave a flag or wear it on a shirt – this wasContinue reading “My Black Story”
About Last Night
I think I slept with a smile on my face last night. It rained all night. No thunderstorms, no loud sounds or flashes of light. Just gentle falling rain- the kind that soothes my mind and relaxes my body. Last night was a good one! In peace I will both lie down and sleep, forContinue reading “About Last Night”
Those Interruptions
Have you noticed how impatient we’ve become as a society? Not only have we come to despise waiting but we have little tolerance for imperfection. Heaven forbid our packages don’t arrive when we expect them to, our service providers have some glitches, the repairman man is late or the meeting is delayed. Our response toContinue reading “Those Interruptions”
What If
Yesterday I listened to young man sharing his journey of faith. He mentioned that it was a tough day for him but he was learning how to push through when things don’t go as he expects. I started to reflect on my season and the lessons I’m being taught currently. There are times when weContinue reading “What If”
