He Never Saw It

Recently I have been trying to get an understanding of who my paternal grandfather was to our family. He died fairly young – my dad doesn’t even remember him. Still seeking, I am hoping one day I’ll get a picture of his life. He never lived long enough to see his children take their placeContinue reading “He Never Saw It”

The Years Roll By

Made in ’66. That’s how many of us in my circle are branded this year. We’ve been celebrating the arrival of this new season. I am humbled that God saw it fit to bless us with 60 revolutions around the sun. Some have chosen to go low keyed, others have sounded the trumpet and broughtContinue reading “The Years Roll By”

Through The Years

Girlfriends. Don’t do life without them. February 13th has been dubbed Gallentine’s Day – “a day for women to celebrate their friendships with their female friends”. It’s not an anti-Valentine scheme rather it’s in the spirit of celebrating the women in our lives. Our sisters, mothers, grandmas, aunts, cousins, and day ones. The ones whoContinue reading “Through The Years”

A Different Tune

As a teen and even in my forties, I loved concerts. The energy, the crowd, the lights – the noise. Over the last few years, I may go but at times it feels forced. Now it just feels like something to do but it ignites little in me. One thing I am happy about –Continue reading “A Different Tune”

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”

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”

Friday’s Whisper

Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”

Seated With the Wise

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”
