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’🎶. 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”

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”

Dear Mama

I am a daughter, not a son. However, over the years I have heard the stories of many men and boys who have been parented by scarred, flawed women. The struggle has been real. In Girl Like Me, I mentioned that, ‘many times girls like me who haven’t traveled the road of restoration in aContinue reading “Dear Mama”

I Found Out

I call this my weekend musings. The older I get the more I wonder why no one cautioned me or told me about some things in life. Or, maybe they did but I paid no attention at the time. I didn’t or couldn’t relate. Stories about grandchildren, menopause, medications, surgery, aches/pains, other body changes, orContinue reading “I Found Out”

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”

Dear John

Many of us are familiar with ‘Dear John’ letters. From what I read, the term was coined somewhere during World War II. These were letters sent to servicemen from their loves, ending a relationship. A dreaded letter, as you might imagine. Well, that’s me and my real John. That was his real name!! I won’tContinue reading “Dear John”

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..”🎶💖 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?”
