I took this picture a few years ago as I sat in a classroom waiting for students to arrive. If I remember well, it was a group I was meeting for the first time. Yesterday, I stared at the picture and wondered about those students who graced the walls of this room. Those who satContinue reading “Did I ?”

Circle of Love
This may be your story – one of reconciliation and restoration. Isn’t this a thing of beauty? Love hopes all things – love never ends. Do you think you could try again? Forgive one more time. Open your arms to that ‘prodigal’. Extend grace one more time. Do you think you could? Just one moreContinue reading “Circle of Love”
Tired
A friend of mine sent me this sticky note this week. With that she wrote one line ,’ I’m closing my business by July 31.’ I responded letting her know that I support her whatever she chooses to do. As I thought about this little sticky note – I realized that we need the wisdomContinue reading “Tired”
A Brave Me
Today I decided to shine the spotlight on a little girl I met over two decades ago. She is now grown with a family of her own. Standing in purpose, she continues to unfold in the hands of the One who gently molds her into His image. I took that picture over 20+ years ago.Continue reading “A Brave Me”
Silent Pain
I have never lost a child. Never lost a baby in utero. Some data sources indicate that 10-15 percent of pregnancies in the US end in miscarriages. The term ‘silent pain’ was first introduced to me by a college professor. She informed and reminded us that this is a loss that many women do notContinue reading “Silent Pain”
Back Then
Over 38 years ago, I was busy studying [ some of us were 😀] and getting ready to graduate high school. Not long ago, I looked back at an old diary. For the month of May and early June of that year, every day my entry included ..’studied and slept’. Wasn’t life simpler back then?😊Continue reading “Back Then”
Past Loves
Many of us got married to our high school and college ‘heart beats’. I didn’t. Did you? Recently I read some entries in an old diary. Many captured some of the goings on leading up to high school graduation. Many of you, your children and loved ones are now gearing up for the graduation season.Continue reading “Past Loves”
Looking Back
This morning I picked up an old diary – 1983- to be exact. I turned to today’s date [ May 9th]; just like today Monday , May 9th. I was curious to see what was happening in my life then as a teenager. It wasn’t a lovely day. For some reason my mom was notContinue reading “Looking Back”
For You
We take the time to celebrate mothers this weekend. For some reason my heart is drawn to those who find it difficult to celebrate. I see you – I feel you. I stand with you. Some may not understand why a day like today brings you little joy. You may also find yourself in thisContinue reading “For You”
Meant For This
This week has been designated as a week to honor teachers here in my neck of the woods. I shared in another post [Right person, Right Place -Destiny Moments] that this career was never on my vision board growing up. My pastor suggested it and I tried it! One of the best decisions I haveContinue reading “Meant For This”
