As we move towards the end of the year, I love to reflect. How have I grown? Any lessons learned in this amazing classroom called life? This year I chose to fight the ‘lies that wanted to live rent free in my head’. I have learned things are not always what they appear to be.Continue reading “Not always”

Reflection of Me
It is my belief that plants were gifted to us as message of love from God. When you don’t know what to get me – get me plants. These were all gifted to me at some point, primarily by my students. It tells me that they hear me. This morning I glanced at the ‘lady’Continue reading “Reflection of Me”
My Way
About that night: I danced in the lights and the flurries of the fake snow. It was my birthday and I wanted to do something different. So often the child in us goes to sleep as we start adulting. Two weeks ago on my birthday night I toured a beautiful garden that was transformed withContinue reading “My Way”
Just As I am
Today while doing some hated chores, I reflected on some of my oddities or idiosyncrasies. The peculiarities that make us unique. The things that make people love us or leave us. I can’t explain mine away. I smiled for a minute. At this season in my life, some things won’t change. I’ll always wash myContinue reading “Just As I am”
Note to Her – Again
For You: As your birth is commemorated on the 8th, there’s a rejoicing that you found that Love that keeps you rooted and grounded. By now, you should have discovered that you were not a mistake. The Master carefully knitted you together in your mother’s womb and watched over your birth. There’s value in yourContinue reading “Note to Her – Again”
Move With Me
Sometimes I feel like walking until I reach the ‘end of me’. When the noise gets too much in my head. The thoughts swirl around like a tornado on a war path – I walk. As nature sings of God’s goodness, I too am led to join in the chorus. The movement of my limbsContinue reading “Move With Me”
Only You
T’was the night before Thanksgiving and many are about to curl up in bed. Some of us are busy making last minute preparations to welcome those we’ve loved from afar and near through the years. It’s a joyful time for many and a difficult time for some. I don’t know the emotions you are sittingContinue reading “Only You”

Last Words
As we come to the end of this month, we see many reminders that the festive season is upon us. Conversations about the holidays, food, and plans to visit here and there begin to take shape in our hearts and minds. This is also a time when memories of those we have lost begin toContinue reading “Last Words”
To Be Loved
I consider it a tragedy to have lived decades on this earth and to never know what it feels like to love and be loved. To care for someone other than yourself. To have your heart skip a beat or pulsate at the thought of seeing someone. To want to be better because of thatContinue reading “To Be Loved”
