It is said the fear of Friday the 13th [Paraskevidekatriaphobia or friggatriskaidekaphobia] affects approximately 20 million people in America. Many consider Friday to be the most unlucky day of the week and 13 has been deemed a very unlucky number for centuries. Together they form a frightening combination for many.

Kept Safe
On a previous post [BSM] I wrote about a safety feature in my car that alerts me to vehicles in my blind spot and how we relate the concept of blind spots in our lives. There are two other safety features in my car that provide extra guidance and protection on the roads. RSA [Continue reading “Kept Safe”
Rain
Earlier this month I planned on connecting with the Bloganuary community as I really enjoyed the exercise in writing last year. This year I don’t plan to write on prompts daily – I’ll just choose the ones that resonate with me. January 7th, the prompt was to write a poem or story about rain. OnContinue reading “Rain”
BSM
Blind Spot Monitoring system [ BSM] is a safety mechanism in my car that warns me of other vehicles in my blind spot. It alerts me with an LED light in the corresponding side view mirror. The main intent is to aid drivers with lane changes and prevent accidents. Honestly, this has helped me aContinue reading “BSM”
The Road Ahead
Destination addiction is a chronic condition that plagues a lot of us. Truthfully I’ve had to fight the urge to be obsessed with ‘ that someday’ when I’ll be happy or fulfilled. When I turn 18, get married, graduate college, get my dream job, have a baby, purchase my dream house, retire, or lose thatContinue reading “The Road Ahead”
We Made It!

It is a term based on the idea of getting “handcuffed” or tied down to one person. The Urban dictionary defines the cuffing season as the ‘season inContinue reading “No Cuffing Here”
Peace Or Right
As we navigate the holiday season and move towards the new year we often do some inner reflection. As I age gracefully, being at peace has become so much more important to me than being right. I guard my space where ever I go -I choose to operate in the spirit of peace. The bibleContinue reading “Peace Or Right”
Lasting Memories
They say ‘memories don’t leave like people do – they always stay with you. Whether they’ve been good or bad’. Not sure how true this is. Christmas fell on a Sunday 2005, 2011, and 2016. Funny I tried so hard to remember what those Christmases looked like; I remember nothing. It could have been thatContinue reading “Lasting Memories”
Someday
I live in a community with a beautiful melting pot of cultures. This past week I had the opportunity to hang out with a group of people from a different culture. We spoke a different language, played games differently, cooked and ate differently. Despite a difference in lifestyle, we connected for a moment in timeContinue reading “Someday”
