High Fives

Encouraging. Reframing. Teaching. Releasing. Being Me. Not because I have perfected these, but life has led me down pathways that has required me to do these over and over. I firmly believe that you can get good at what you practice – willingly or unwillingly. These ‘fives’ are high on my list. The beautiful blendContinue reading “High Fives”

Your Love

There’s an old song that echoes the sentiment that’s at the forefront of my mind often: ‘When He was on the cross, I was on His mind’. When one of Christ’s followers attempted to defend and protect Him , He said, ‘Don’t you realize that I could ask my Father for thousands of angels toContinue reading “Your Love”

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”

I Call Him Father

What we call people is most likely hinged to our connection or relationship with them. I often read or listen to people referring to God in different ways. It is quite possible that we also speak of Him based on how we relate to Him. Because of what I’ve discovered and experienced with God, IContinue reading “I Call Him Father”

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}”

Thought You’d Like to Know

Dear Younger Me, It’s some forty-something years late but I felt the need to write to you. There are somethings I thought you’d like to know. First I wanted you to know that you were meant to be here. You were created to thrive not just survive. To live not just exist. Your heavenly FatherContinue reading “Thought You’d Like to Know”

Legacy- Then and Now

I had to do this post sometime. The time is now. Of course, February is not the only time we celebrate love and history – but there’s no better time than the present. This story of love and legacy began way before I was born. It began in the 1950s, but was cemented in January,Continue reading “Legacy- Then and Now”

Girl Talk

That amazing bond between girls! My sister girls how blessed we are to have each other. We become burden bearers, the arms that hold – the hands that dry the tears. The ear that listens and the voice that reminds. We celebrate, we laugh until we want to sprinkle or tinkle. We talk. Men andContinue reading “Girl Talk”

Is This Love?

So, humor me. Did Bob Marley get an answer to his question ‘ ‘ Is this love, is this love, is this love that I’m feeling? I wanna know..”πŸŽΆπŸ’– I don’t know if he did, but I do know most of us have asked that question a time or two. At times we have beenContinue reading “Is This Love?”
