This is an interesting question. One that requires a personal conversation with oneself. Today I celebrated another year of God’s goodness. December 8th – the day I first saw light. Birthdays, especially as the decades roll by, are days we often reflect. Some of us sink into the deep abyss of regrets, some get drunkContinue reading “Let’s Talk”

Work in Progress
When I saw this prompt, the lyrics of an old song (that I don’t know very well) popped in my mind. It reminds me that we don’t ‘arrive’ at the snap of a finger. We often need time to heal, to get it right, to move on, to gain clarity, and to ‘get it together’.Continue reading “Work in Progress”
Where I Belong
Ever felt out of place? Too many times to mention. I am female. I am an immigrant. I don’t cuss, smoke nor drink hard liquor. I don’t tolerate the complaining spirit well. I prefer calm to chaos and unwanted noise. Loudness, vulgarity, and abrasiveness tend to make me shrink back. In my world the glassContinue reading “Where I Belong”
Day One
Today was the first day of the 2025-2026 school year for our students in my neck of the woods. The entire school district wore this t-shirt today. Don’t you just love ‘Day Ones’? The opportunity to start anew, a chance for a do over. We don’t always get a second chance to steer the shipContinue reading “Day One”
In the Midst of It All
“PEACE. The place I’ve learned to live. Not because there are no storms, but I’ve found that there’s indeed peace in the midst of it all. Not because there are no wars within and without. Despite the conflicts that rage on – I’ve found a place where I am unmoved. I sit at YOUR feetContinue reading “In the Midst of It All”
July -Then & Now
I don’t always think about this day, but today I did. July 3rd is the anniversary of my departure from my beloved island nation. Over 30+ years ago, I left the ‘Land of Wood and Water’ for the streets of the Big Apple. In my limited thinking, my world had collapsed. Everything that meant anythingContinue reading “July -Then & Now”
Reset
It’s summer y’all! Take a moment to reset. There are many things that we have no control over – let’s breathe and release those to the One who never gets overwhelmed. The One who holds the nations in the palm of His hands- yet takes the time to invite us into relationship. Then there areContinue reading “Reset”
Made For This
Their classrooms come alive as passion and purpose collides. Minds are stimulated and challenged as hope burns bright. We give our students room to shine – to be the best version of themselves. Not that we are great but somewhere along the journey there’s the discovery that teaching is such an awesome privilege. One thatContinue reading “Made For This”
Right Back There
I go back there – right back to childhood – mangoes take me there every time. This was our ‘junk food’ especially in the summer months. It’s so funny that now I have to buy mangoes, back then I would walk past mangoes on the ground. My friends who are still living in my islandContinue reading “Right Back There”
I Am Her
Not because I am strong, but His strength infuses me. I have been equipped with all I need to accomplish my God-given purpose. Not that I have always believed it, but You said ‘I am Her’. Follow the bread crumbs and you’ll see the trail that leads to my long list of missteps. None ofContinue reading “I Am Her”
