The older I get, the more I realize there’s a method to everyone’s perceived madness. If I take the time to listen, I might get it. Get why you do the things you do. Why you dance to the beat of your drum and don’t feel the need to explain your misunderstood insanity. At anotherContinue reading “I Think I Get It”

The Way You Make Me Feel
Some time this month one of my students made a comment to me that once more reaffirmed in my heart why I teach. ‘Leah’ as I’ll call her is an older teen with limited English language skills. We have fun communicating as she learns the language while trying to master other academic subjects too. WithContinue reading “The Way You Make Me Feel”
A Seat Speaks
It’s funny how much we are creatures of habit. We sleep on the same side of the bed, relax on the same spot on the sofa, and habitually sit at the same seat at the table. This was our co-worker’s seat at the table in the teachers’ lounge. He left us this past week. ToContinue reading “A Seat Speaks”
I Saw Her
A few weeks ago, on my way to a birthday party, a friend of mine called. She asked if we could ride together – we agreed to meet at a convenient point on the route. Truthfully, I was extremely tired and had already planned in my mind that she would drive and I would parkContinue reading “I Saw Her”
I Would, If I Could
Yesterday I had a conversation with a friend about affairs of the heart among other things. She’s been married twice. I have never been. While sharing, I commented on the fact that I’ve had many potential loves who’ve walked in and out of the doors of my life. BUT honestly- I can’t say there’s oneContinue reading “I Would, If I Could”
One Came Along
This month, October, we celebrated the national heroes in our island nation. The place where I took my first breath. Where my values and strength of character began to take formation. These heroes are those who sacrificed and paved the way for generations like mine. Those whose blood, sweat and tears do not go unnoticed.Continue reading “One Came Along”
I Call Him Father
What we call people is most likely hinged to our connection or relationship with them. I often read or listen to people referring to God in different ways. It is quite possible that we also speak of Him based on how we relate to Him. Because of what I’ve discovered and experienced with God, IContinue reading “I Call Him Father”
You Came
“How frail is humanity! How short is life, how full of trouble! (Job 14:1) The best of us have had to walk through some tough seasons. It’s been a while since I lost someone dear to my heart. Truthfully there are moments when it hits you like a ton of bricks and breathing becomes difficult.Continue reading “You Came”
Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}
As we have now laid to rest these two amazing souls – their legacy lives on. This past week was not easy as we celebrated the life of a wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother sister, friend, aunt, counselor, and confidant. Writing has been hard for me these past two months. Everything here remains true. So, onceContinue reading “Legacy- Then and Now [Once Again}”
In The Ordinary
If you have lived long enough to walk through some of life’s challenges, you may have noticed that the miracle is often in the ordinary. There are no thunderbolts or lightning. The blessing, the answer to prayer comes in the ordinary. The story is told of the Apostle Paul encountering shipwreck while being transported toContinue reading “In The Ordinary”
