Assignment Completed!

I believe I was birthed for a purpose. My true desire is to discover and live out that purpose. When that has been accomplished – then my time here is finished. I have no taste for purposeless living. Personally, I echo this comforting scripture ‘ my life and my times are in His hands’. I declare thatContinue reading “Assignment Completed!”

Live Simple

Too often we complicate life. We engage in battles not meant for us to fight. Hold on to baggage that cause us to walk bent over. Rather than pursue healing, we keep open wounds that cause us ongoing pain. The emptiness in our soul leave us aching and searching for things that cannot satisfy. WeContinue reading “Live Simple”

Here and Now

I don’t know maybe it’s the 50 plus vibe – I find myself more focused on the here and now. I’ve lived long enough to recognize that my days are numbered. Somewhere along the way I found out that I can do nothing about the past. I can embrace the lessons learned especially from thoseContinue reading “Here and Now”

Gift of You

I could list anything from the tangible to the divine. Most times I find what I need people can’t give it to me. So, I’ve learned to release those in my circle – gotten rid of my unhealthy expectations. I ask but one thing: Give me the real youLet me decide to stay or leaveNo facade-noContinue reading “Gift of You”

You are Some of My Favorites

We were not meant to be an island. I love this writing prompt -‘ Who are Your Current Most Favorite People?’ This brings a smile to my face. I have many favorites including the obvious – my children (biological and bonuses), siblings, and parents. I have also been equally blessed with some amazing friends andContinue reading “You are Some of My Favorites”

A few weeks ago I asked someone in my circle to do something – nothing really serious. He gave me the impression that he did when in fact he hadn’t done what I asked. It wasn’t a big deal, I moved on and got it done otherwise. The truth is, I was oblivious to theContinue reading “He Lied”

Shine Bright

A few Saturdays ago I attended an ornament exchange party with some beautiful ladies. There was a lot of laughter and childlike joy. I may be a bit partial, but as ladies we know how to have a good time with little or a lot. As ornaments were exchanged you got to see the personality andContinue reading “Shine Bright”

Hello December

Welcome my dear friend! You are one of my favorite months. Over five decades ago a very pregnant young lady walked around waiting to embrace me for the first time. A few days later, there I was taking my very first breath. You were the first month I met. Every year since then you’ve broughtContinue reading “Hello December”

Carried

After dinner on Thanksgiving day, the adults had a couple hours of ‘grown folks’ conversation. It was good! A couple who was present at the table shared a part of their story. The husband commented on the fact that he loved his wife since high school, but she was in another space and didn’t reciprocate.Continue reading “Carried”

Bedfellows

This is a time of year that many here in the US choose to embrace an attitude of gratitude in different ways. We get some time to reflect even as we are moving closer to the end of another year. Many of us are just grateful that we made it this far – some ofContinue reading “Bedfellows”
