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”
Grace Enough
It takes time and a certain level of maturity to wait and pray in expectation knowing that God may not respond the way you’d like. To find yourself at peace with His ‘no’ and to be truly okay with it. I’ve come to understand that ‘My grace is enough’ is often God’s answer to ourContinue reading “Grace Enough”
Catching Up
I missed this prompt while I was busy making travel plans. I thought I might just reflect on what was, by giving a glimpse into my awesome trip. This journey took me to my beloved island nation. The pandemic had rudely interrupted our plans as a family , so we had to switch somethings around.Continue reading “Catching Up”
Hard to Say Goodbye
This past week part of my high school graduating class came together after 40 years. It was something almost ‘other worldly’. Many of us hadn’t seen nor heard from each other in decades. What amazed me the most was how easy it was to reconnect. Sure we had grown up (somewhat😊), but the child inContinue reading “Hard to Say Goodbye”
Where it All Started
Over 40 years ago, a group of bright-eyed bushy tail kids met at the high school we so lovingly call ‘The One Don’. This week we gathered for our 40 year reunion- a week long celebration. For sure the kid in us came alive again. As we toured our beloved campus, we certainly got nostalgicContinue reading “Where it All Started”
You are Always on My Mind
I don’t consider myself a worrywart. My heart and mind don’t do well in that space. I’ve lived long enough to know that most of the things I worry about never manifest anyway. The truth is things do have a way of working out. As a person of faith, I stay in peace by havingContinue reading “You are Always on My Mind”
