This Thanksgiving I had breakfast with my neighbors – fifty plus years of marriage, proven ministry, children and numerous grandchildren. We had delicious escovitch fish [with cassava bammy]- a Jamaican staple. While we dined and chatted – I soaked in wisdom. Listening attentively, my heart grabbed a hold of something I have experienced but neverContinue reading “Seated With the Wise”

For Peace Sake
My need to be ‘right’. Truthfully I’d rather be happy and at peace than to parade the fact that ‘I am right’. Being right is highly over rated . While I don’t think we should ignore or deny our personal values or convictions, there are such things as futile arguments. Those that accomplish nothing, drainContinue reading “For Peace Sake”
We All Need One
I love these two men. Both have been friends to me in different ways. One has mentored me in leadership. One has been my brother from another mother. We talk about everything and anything. We are beyond transparent with each other – pure unadulterated love. He is one of my most perfectly imperfect friends andContinue reading “We All Need One”
I Wanna Sing With Somebody
Funny, I asked God for that gift last night – just in passing! I so wish I could sing well. Nothing super special about that but for me it would be a supernatural phenomenon. Maybe by some divine act of grace, He’ll bestow it on me with a smile. Just for fun. 😊 That’s ourContinue reading “I Wanna Sing With Somebody”
Nosey
I just love to hear people’s story. The ones of triumph, defeat, battles fought- loss or won. I’m not good at doing shallow for long. Somewhere, somehow I will ask the deep questions. I guess I’m just nosey! I’m fascinated with the roads we’ve traveled and how we arrived at this moment. I’d like toContinue reading “Nosey”
Last Weekend
Maybe like me as the decades go by, you have become more intentional about how and where you spend your time. The memories we create will become our bed partners for seasons to come. I recently read a comment that made smile – ‘memories have huge staying power…surviving decades in the deep waters of ourContinue reading “Last Weekend”
Not too Old for This
The current narrative is that we almost never make new friends after forty. Well I’ve never been one to pattern my life after current trends. I believe people come into our lives at different seasons for different reasons and I embrace them all. I don’t plan on missing the moments. If the last few yearsContinue reading “Not too Old for This”
Talk to Me
Writing Prompt- ‘What Topics do you like to discuss?’ I’ve never met a girl who doesn’t like to talk. We may choose our topics wisely but we love to talk. As we mature, I find my friends and I love to reminisce. Remembering our childhood sins is a great topic – like the one above.Continue reading “Talk to Me”
You are Some of My Favorites
We were not meant to be an island. I love this writing prompt -‘ Who are Your Current Most Favorite People?’ This brings a smile to my face. I have many favorites including the obvious – my children (biological and bonuses), siblings, and parents. I have also been equally blessed with some amazing friends andContinue reading “You are Some of My Favorites”
I Saw Her
A few weeks ago, on my way to a birthday party, a friend of mine called. She asked if we could ride together – we agreed to meet at a convenient point on the route. Truthfully, I was extremely tired and had already planned in my mind that she would drive and I would parkContinue reading “I Saw Her”
