Lately

Lately I’ve been missing and I know it. Writing hasn’t been taking up much space at my table these days. To be transparent, I’ve been struggling just to read posts from even some of my of my favorite bloggers. I need time to walk through and navigate this season in a healthy way. Reading andContinue reading “Lately”

You Came

“How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! (Job 14:1) The best of us have had to walk through some tough seasons. It’s been a while since I lost someone dear to my heart. Truthfully there are moments when it hits you like a ton of bricks and breathing becomes difficult.Continue reading “You Came”

Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}

As we have now laid to rest these two amazing souls – their legacy lives on. This past week was not easy as we celebrated the life of a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother sister, friend, aunt, counselor, and confidant. Writing has been hard for me these past two months. Everything here remains true. So, onceContinue reading “Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}”

Stretched

This school year I accepted a challenge to work with some students whose English skills are much lower than my usual group. It wasn’t what I thought it would be and I find myself being stretched. The class has students from different language backgrounds which poses a challenge all by itself. This is not myContinue reading “Stretched”

Front Seat

One of the most beautiful things about being a teacher is getting front row seats to the lives of your students. So often we get to watch this interesting cycle of life continue. We watch them flourish as they blossom into amazing humans. They then are blessed to pour into someone else and the cycleContinue reading “Front Seat”

In My Feelings

It’s midday and I have the day off. I’m lounging on my sofa watching the trees dancing to the beat of the winds and soaking in the rain from the effects of Ms. Idalia. She’s passing by heading somewhere towards the FL gulf coast. What am I feeling right now? How am I feeling rightContinue reading “In My Feelings”

On a High

There’s nothing about me that’s athletic; however, I’m a huge sports fan. From the Women’s World Cup Championship to the 2023 World Athletics Championships—I’ve been on a natural high for the last few weeks. I come from a small island in the Caribbean that boasts some of the best athletes in the world. I getContinue reading “On a High”

Why Me?

That’s a common question we ask when hit with tough twists and turns in life. Why me? Here’s something to chew on – Why not you? Why not me? Often, I’ve read the Psalms and wondered what the writers were walking through when they wrote those life-changing words. Words that years later still comfort, inspire,Continue reading “Why Me?”

Grace Enough

It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”

The Footprints We Leave

The picture above is one that speaks volumes. This is our high school classmate at his daughter’s graduation from medical school. It is indeed a proud moment for a father to see his daughter following in his footsteps. What makes a daughter want to be a doctor like her dad? The reasons may be manyContinue reading “The Footprints We Leave”
