Yesterday I rode ‘The Eye’ – 400ft up. There was beauty to be seen from a different vantage point. While on another ride a few months ago, a lady beside me said, “You can’t see the beauty with your eyes closed.” There were parts of the ride where I had closed my eyes while screamingContinue reading “Eyes Opened”

Where I’d Love to Be
It’s spring break here in my county! That there ☝🏾is where I’d love to be – exploring my native island. Not possible this year, so I’ll embrace my mini staycation here in the Sunshine State. Funny how as we get older we learn to make the most of our reality. Our sophisticated temper tantrums areContinue reading “Where I’d Love to Be”
You Left Me
The cry of many hearts for years, decades and even a lifetime. ‘You left me’. This morning, I reflected on a college mate of mine whose story touched my heart as teenager. I’ll call her ‘Anya’ for the purpose of this post. Her mother left her as a young girl with her dad and brothers.Continue reading “You Left Me”
I Could
For sure I could do many things differently. Having lived over 50 years on this rock has taught me many things. Here’s one : Things that are not broken are often better left alone. Why waste time and energy fixing or changing what’s not broken? Time and time again we frustrate ourselves, move from aContinue reading “I Could”
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”
He Lied
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”
