If you are anything like me, sometimes you wish life came with the perfect questions followed by perfect answers. Details come perfectly packaged with little or no mess. This past week I was reminded that life is perfectly messy at times and we don’t always get the answers we want. Sometimes there are no answersContinue reading “Perfectly Imperfect”

Who Am I ?
Not so long ago I got hit with some news that should have caused me to become frayed at the edges. After my initial— ‘What??’, I proceeded to get some clarification. My next action was to raise my heart in worship. You see I have come to understand that God is God, and I amContinue reading “Who Am I ?”
PUSH
Today may be a tough one. Possibly, you do not welcome the dawn of this new day. Questions might be swirling around your head as the fight leaves your body. This struggle is real and you have little strength to leap over the walls that want to hold you captive. This could be the postureContinue reading “PUSH”
Catching Up
I missed this prompt while I was busy making travel plans. I thought I might just reflect on what was, by giving a glimpse into my awesome trip. This journey took me to my beloved island nation. The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”

Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”
Count Down
A year ago a small group of us from our high graduating class met for a weekend of fun. Some of us hadn’t seen each other in decades. The coming together was nothing short of fabulous. In a few short days we are going to do this again. This time the number has almost quadrupledContinue reading “Count Down”

You are Always on My Mind
I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
Made For This
As a teenager leaving high school, I was blank. I had no idea what I wanted to do. My pastor suggested that I tried teaching. That was never on my vision board and I thought it funny. I then reasoned with myself; I had nothing to lose by giving it a shot. I would leaveContinue reading “Made For This”
