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”

Hello Me
Lesson Learned: ‘Put your oxygen mask on first before assisting others’. An important life lesson I choose to continue to embrace as I enter this new year. It’s nothing new but it has kept me from imploding time and time again. This is not the chronicle of the self-indulged, self-absorbed narcissist. One may say it’sContinue reading “Hello 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”

Old man time waits for no one. He comes does his thing and moves on. We are often left wondering about the ‘what ifs’ ,’ the wish I had’ and ‘if I had I known’. For some reason, though we say it, sadly we don’t treasure the moments the way we should. Time and timeContinue reading “Worth a Thousand Words and More”
Emptied
Recently I looked in my freezer and realized there were things hidden in it that I hadn’t seen in a while. Yet I kept buying even though I wasn’t sure what I already have. What insanity! Today I made a decision. I will not buy anymore frozen items until I used up everything in myContinue reading “Emptied”
Untold Stories
I started journaling as a teenager. Today ever so often I go back to revisit some of the untold stories of my younger years. Some of these pages date back to the ‘80s and 90s. Those were searching years- trying to ‘find’ me and discovering who I was created to be. These stories remind meContinue reading “Untold Stories”
You Inspire
Is there a major in college that focuses on people’s life story? I would get a doctorate in that. I come alive in a different kind of way when someone shares their journey. It causes something to stir in my soul. I love stories of faith, fight and grit. When they say you can’t andContinue reading “You Inspire”
Without You
A man of God once echoed these words in Exodus33:15, “If You don’t personally go with us, don’t make us leave this place.” I think this is how I feel about my journey here on God’s green earth. I don’t claim to be that smart or even wise. Often I feel lost and need toContinue reading “Without You”
