This Is Us
This is the time of year when family traditions raise their beautiful [ weird or crazy] heads. We either love them or hate them. They either make us smile, warm our hearts or make us cringe. Family traditions are often passed down if a person or persons in the family value them and puts inContinue reading “This Is Us”
My Peace
A few years ago, I stopped by my neighbor for a quick minute; she was ‘cleaning house’. Meaning she was getting rid of everything that caused her undue stress. When her husband and son came home that evening, they noticed she was fully engrossed in the process and questioned her. She told them exactly whatContinue reading “My Peace”
Here I am
December is one of my favorite months of the year for many reasons. Apart from coolness of the season, Christmas [and all that comes with that]; it is my birth month. Over five decades ago, my mother chose to give birth to me. I’m not sure what her frame of mind was at that momentContinue reading “Here I am”
I Know What She Did…

I am on Thanksgiving break and have no intention of doing much. Grateful to be alive and kicking at such a time likeContinue reading “I’d Rather”

Many singles do struggle with depression and loneliness this time of year, whether they are alone or in a crowd. The truth is, this Thanksgiving many singles struggle withContinue reading “Singleness On My Mind”
Losing Sight
Today was the last day of class in my city before the Thanksgiving break. Because many of my students are fairly new immigrants, most are not familiar with some of the history behind many of our federal holidays. This week we took a brief look at early American history; this included a look at theContinue reading “Losing Sight”
Under a Rock
For a number of years, I have intentionally guarded my heart and mind from excess exposure to the various social media platforms. There is a lot of chatter out there. A lot of it is not worth my time or energy. For the most part, I have no idea who the popular You Tubers andContinue reading “Under a Rock”
