This week while reading about the events leading up to the crucifixion as recorded in Matthew 26, something interesting caught my attention. Jesus told Peter that he would deny Him later. Peter passionately disagreed – ‘Even if I must die with you, I will not deny you!” And all the disciples said the same. WhatContinue reading “Flawed and Chosen”

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”
Crack Me Up
Live. Laugh. Love. Did you have one of that wall plaque? I did. For some reason we needed that reminder. Life can get serious pretty fast, sucking the joy out of every moment. Laughter adds music and life to living. From childhood to adulthood, I have found every reason to laugh. That’s just who IContinue reading “Crack Me Up”
Sometimes I Want to Know
This is one of my favorite things to do while traveling. I love the details – to know the where, the when, and how fast. Why do I want this information? I’m not too sure, but I love having it. Don’t you wish life offered this channel as an option. If you’re like me, thereContinue reading “Sometimes I Want to Know”
I’m Trying
I’ve been on a mini staycation for the last view days. Unwinding, recalibrating and relaxing- by myself. I took this picture as a reminder of the imperfect me; the one I’m working on. At home I noticed this behavior: I have a habit of leaving cabinet and cupboard doors opened. They don’t stay open forContinue reading “I’m Trying”
Where I’d Love to Be
It’s spring break here in my county! That there ☝🏾is where I’d love to be – exploring my native island. Not possible this year, so I’ll embrace my mini staycation here in the Sunshine State. Funny how as we get older we learn to make the most of our reality. Our sophisticated temper tantrums areContinue reading “Where I’d Love to Be”
You Left Me
The cry of many hearts for years, decades and even a lifetime. ‘You left me’. This morning, I reflected on a college mate of mine whose story touched my heart as teenager. I’ll call her ‘Anya’ for the purpose of this post. Her mother left her as a young girl with her dad and brothers.Continue reading “You Left Me”
Feelings – Nothing More
For a few months I’ve not been writing as often as I used to. A number of events or situations may have contributed to this trench I find myself in. If I’m to be honest however, I can easily attribute it to one major thing – feelings. Yesterday I ignored those pesky ‘enemies of creativity’Continue reading “Feelings – Nothing More”
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 Could
For sure I could do many things differently. Having lived over 50 years on this rock has taught me many things. Here’s one : Things that are not broken are often better left alone. Why waste time and energy fixing or changing what’s not broken? Time and time again we frustrate ourselves, move from aContinue reading “I Could”
