There is truly never a dull moment when you look at each day as an adventure. Continue reading

What are you Afraid of?
What am I afraid of?….this simple 5 word question that was asked of me rolled around in my mind. Not so simple. As a person usually quick with a snappy response…to my surprise and chagrin, I struggled to answer. I’ll give the intelligent response as Marrian Williamson’s words from A Return to Love: Reflections on the Principles of “A Course in Miracles”, Ch. 7, Section 3 (1992), p. 190. popped into my head: Continue reading
HAPPY INTERNATIONAL WOMEN’S DAY
Thanks to Google’s International Women’s Day doodle I did some quick and almost perfunctory research about a day that I think I should know about…but didn’t. Should I feel bad that as a woman I wasn’t aware of International Women’s Day? Should I just accept that there are soooo many movements for the protection, equality and representation of women (me)…that this one slipped through the crack? Am I overthinking it as I have a tendency to do (which I’ve been told…many times…LOL!)? Continue reading
Time to be Selfish
Yes…this is how it feels….
It was the coldest day of the year…maybe not according to the meteorologists but it sure felt like it. The wind’s icy grip snatched tears out of my eyes. My dried lips felt like sandpaper as they pressed together tightly in an Continue reading
NOT an Angry Black Woman – Unbothered
Not long after having a conversation with friends about how the first emotion given a black woman’s response to a situation is ‘angry’, I was watching the 2016 State of the Union Address and was introduced to Miss Edith.

Chivalry is NOT Dead!
I can see him like it was yesterday. Sitting on the living room floor, long legs outstretched, with his back against the sofa. Continue reading
Get your Plow
“When I grow up I wanna be just like her” the little girl says. “I’m going to be just like him when I grow up” says the little boy. “Man I wish I had his/her (pick one that YOU have said)

Keep Your Judgment in 2016
Happy New Year! May it be full of joy, peace, love and blessings for you and your family!
The question often asked at the end of the year is ‘what is your New Year resolution?’ Over the years I was ready with an answer (aren’t I always) because the New Year was a magical eraser that would blot out the missed goals and shortcomings that I had long left for dead in the outgoing year.

Held Hostage by a Waterbug
Yes….you heard me. I was held hostage by what looked like the most gigantic bug in the whole wide world. It was horrible and no one was there to rescue me! All I wanted was a quick snack out of the kitchen. The house was quiet and I was feeling pretty good about my accomplishments of the day. Shoot after a day like I had, I deserve a little treat besides, it would be a the perfect compliment to this episode of NCIS as I wind down. Continue reading
You can’t put THESE in your Will!!
Life is about memories ♥ Not ‘things’
I just got back from spending a few days away with my family. Our location wasn’t extravagant and the trip wasn’t but for a few days but the experience was priceless. We dined at a famous seafood place that my daughter said because of her experience she now understands why it’s so famous (translation – the food was deeee-lish!!). We saw a 3D light show for the first time, talked about clouds and took pictures with strangers. In those few days we had many firsts and experiences together that we won’t forget. Continue reading
