Thought for the Season: You can tell a lot about a person by the way they handle three things; a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. [ Borrowed] Guard your peace this holiday. May we be kind to ourselves and to others as we navigate the self-imposed complexities of the season. AsContinue reading “Friday’s Whisper”

Random or By Design?
The longer I live the more I embrace the idea that nothing about my life is random. Whether my encounters make sense or not , whether I understand them or not – I believe in a divine design. What I may call a random act may just be God giving me an opportunity to beContinue reading “Random or By Design?”
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”
Give One – Get One
“Nothing you wear is more important than your smile.” [Borrowed] I have always worn my smile with much grace and charm.

I was never the moody sulkyContinue reading “Give One – Get One”
On a Wing and a Prayer
No one prepared us. Like ocean waves they come crashing. Changing the landscape of our world. Life will never be the same. Life now comes with a different view. Hopes and dreams shifts – priorities change. We trade in the two door for a four door. God entrusted us with precious cargo. We pray weContinue reading “On a Wing and a Prayer”
My Safe Space
We met in 1983 – you walked me through my first struggle with the ‘affairs of the heart’. She’s now tattered and torn. Pages stained with age. The ink is fading but the memories live on. She was where I emptied my soul, where my prayers, dreams and hopes were penned. Tears fell in herContinue reading “My Safe Space”
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”
