Recently I heard someone say that your tongue is a rudder that determines the direction of the ship you’re sailing in. In essence, what you constantly say or repeat will often influence the direction you’ll be steered in through out life. Scriptures speak about the power of the tongue : “Death and life are inContinue reading “You Say”

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”
For Peace Sake
My need to be ‘right’. Truthfully I’d rather be happy and at peace than to parade the fact that ‘I am right’. Being right is highly over rated . While I don’t think we should ignore or deny our personal values or convictions, there are such things as futile arguments. Those that accomplish nothing, drainContinue reading “For Peace Sake”
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”
I’m Free
I’ve learned the art of saying no – no to them and no to me. I am free to do nothing and go nowhere, if I so choose. Guilt is no longer my bedpartner when I choose me. There are no apologies for not wanting to. Where ever I show up, I am there 100%.Continue reading “I’m Free”
A Day Of Grace
Let’s be honest; many are not the dads we wanted. They don’t all show up like this. We don’t all have these treasured, unforgettable moments with them. The memories are often the ones we want to forget. Marred with coldness, disconnection, lies, hurt, abuse, rejection and abandonment. Some tried, but even at their best theyContinue reading “A Day Of Grace”
Our Eyes Met
The first time my babies’ eyes lock with mine – that moment when they seem to discover that I was their safe space. And the smile that followed. That’s a moment that took my breath away. Our world would never be the same. There was an awesome realization that God gave me this precious cargoContinue reading “Our Eyes Met”
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”
Days and Stories
Apart from my family – most of my days are spent with my students. Their stories fill my days. Last year I asked two of my classes to participate in an activity that would cause them to pause and think for a minute: ‘If your life was movie, what would the title be?‘ For someContinue reading “Days and Stories”
