Over 38 years ago, I was busy studying [ some of us were π] and getting ready to graduate high school. Not long ago, I looked back at an old diary. For the month of May and early June of that year, every day my entry included ..’studied and slept’. Wasn’t life simpler back then?πContinue reading “Back Then”

Past Loves
Many of us got married to our high school and college ‘heart beats’. I didn’t. Did you? Recently I read some entries in an old diary. Many captured some of the goings on leading up to high school graduation. Many of you, your children and loved ones are now gearing up for the graduation season.Continue reading “Past Loves”
For That Moment
The lyrics of a popular ’80s song ran across my mind recently- ‘ I’ve been staring at your photograph, wondering where you’re at today’πΆ. Have you ever thought about the people whose lives intertwined with yours over the years? If only for a season. Where are they? Recently I was skimming through an old diaryContinue reading “For That Moment”
I Met a Girl
The older I get the more I come to appreciate the people that I have crossed path with. They all came for a reason, some for just a season. I attended college 3 different times. Once I met a girl. Actually, I met many girls [and guys] – some shown below. That girl has stayedContinue reading “I Met a Girl”
My Thoughts
The mind is an amazing store house of treasures. Ever so often some surface that brings a smile to our face. I don’t take for granted that my mind is ‘sound’. Guarding my mind is an intentional act for me daily. Some things are not allowed to take residence there. I choose to leave ‘space’Continue reading “My Thoughts”
The Love That Won’t let Go
Love is one of those mysteries of life. It drives us to do things that boggles the mind some times. It causes mothers to become ferocious warriors, fathers to rise up like giants, men to climb mountains and women to swim rivers. We often act seemingly foolish and do the impossible because of love. WithContinue reading “The Love That Won’t let Go”
Legacy- Then and Now
I had to do this post sometime. The time is now. Of course, February is not the only time we celebrate love and history – but there’s no better time than the present. This story of love and legacy began way before I was born. It began in the 1950s, but was cemented in January,Continue reading “Legacy- Then and Now”
Girl Talk
That amazing bond between girls! My sister girls how blessed we are to have each other. We become burden bearers, the arms that hold – the hands that dry the tears. The ear that listens and the voice that reminds. We celebrate, we laugh until we want to sprinkle or tinkle. We talk. Men andContinue reading “Girl Talk”
Reflections
Sat in my empty classroom decompressing after a 3-hour virtual class. I haven’t seen any students face-to-face since March 2020. Every now and then I go back to pictures. Whoever invented the art of picture taking – I love you. Even more amazing, is that beautiful, fascinating part of us called the mind. The storageContinue reading “Reflections”
Is This Love?
So, humor me. Did Bob Marley get an answer to his question ‘ ‘ Is this love, is this love, is this love that I’m feeling? I wanna know..”πΆπ I don’t know if he did, but I do know most of us have asked that question a time or two. At times we have beenContinue reading “Is This Love?”
