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”

Let’s Talk
This is an interesting question. One that requires a personal conversation with oneself. Today I celebrated another year of God’s goodness. December 8th – the day I first saw light. Birthdays, especially as the decades roll by, are days we often reflect. Some of us sink into the deep abyss of regrets, some get drunkContinue reading “Let’s Talk”
Right Before My Eyes
Every life lesson I’ve learned this year is counted in my book as a great event. On the other side of each lesson – a better me emerged. I’ll share a recent one. About 3 years ago, I decided to give up a side gig at a college where I’d worked for about 10 years.Continue reading “Right Before My Eyes”
Wednesday’s Wisdom
This morning I came across a clip on a post from ‘Turning Point’. It resonated so much with me – I think it’s worth repeating. This is a lesson I was taught a few years back as I discovered how we allow others to take us to unhealthy places. We give people permission to makeContinue reading “Wednesday’s Wisdom”
AMEN
So be it. Let it be. An affirmation of agreement. I saw this t-shirt on a student recently. So grateful he permitted me to take this shot. This has been part of my roadmap to peace. It has helped to clear out much of the ‘other options’ life offers. This is how I’ve simplified myContinue reading “AMEN”
Wasted Moments
How to sleep. The story is told of an elderly lady in a war torn area, who went to sleep peacefully, amidst the dropping of bombs. When asked how she was able to this, she commented that God ‘does not slumber nor sleep’. If God is awake it made no sense for her to stayContinue reading “Wasted Moments”
Small Yet Mighty
I love our fighting spirit. Our can-do attitude. Our resilience. When asked, we’re always up for wholesome competition. A nation of less than 3 million and smaller in size than every state except two (DE, RI), Jamaica is the ‘little engine that could’. Out of approximately 195 countries in the world, we are 160th inContinue reading “Small Yet Mighty”
What If We Begin…
This quote caught my attention this morning: If God could take someone away that you thought you would never lose – imagine the person He could give you that you thought you’d never find. What if we begin to trust God to truly turn the broken pieces into a master piece, the pain into purposeContinue reading “What If We Begin…”
The Remarkable Kind
As a sister girl, the word ‘submission’ can be disconcerting. Why? Your guess is just as good as mine. Maybe it’s because, like many, I hate feeling like a caged bird. It could also be what I’ve observed in human behavior when some are granted power. For some reason, me submitting to you quickly translatesContinue reading “The Remarkable Kind”
My Piece of the Garden
A few weeks ago, I spent a few days with my son in his big city high-rise apartment. There was no balcony, no way to connect the outside. There were moments I felt trapped. I mentioned it to him and he laughed. That was his world and he was at peace with it. In thoseContinue reading “My Piece of the Garden”
