“You Shouldn’t Do That”
I was having a conversation with a former co-worker, when I finally asked his opinion. “You shouldn’t do that.” He said. "Why?" I asked (with a little bit of an attitude) "Cause you’d be too comfortable. You’d get stuck.” I stood there shell shocked. He totally nailed...
Be Still… Stay Silent… A Psalm of Trust.
I was called disrespectful. I was called untrue. I was called untrustworthy. I was called a manipulator. I was accused of being a seducer. I was accused of being an adulterer. I was said to have no friends and said I'd have many problems in the future. I was accused...
Life As We Know It…
We celebrated Sanctity of Human Life Sunday on January 20th, and just 48 hours later, the World Trade Center lit up in pink to celebrate… a law that allows full term babies to be aborted. This issue is personal for me because from 1984- 1993, the United States...
Finding God in the Dark
A few weeks ago, I was asked to speak at a woman's fellowship. This was the talk I shared. Given that, this reads a bit differently than a blog, but I hope it encourages you. ---------------------------------------------------- Before I begin my message, I would like...

Eleven Letters
I stared at the blinking curser. I reread the text message. I put my iPhone down. I had to pray because I couldn’t handle the hurt. I picked up my phone and wrote eleven letters. I never knew eleven letters could be so hard to write. Before I was able to write those...
Lessons From Migraines
I was at work when the headache I had kept intensifying. I thought I would be okay to hold off a little bit longer on taking something for it. I was wrong. By the time I took pain relief, I could hardly keep my eyes open. Everything sounded 100x louder than normal. I...
Let’s Hear It For The Boys
I’ve been thinking a lot about the different guys I’ve talked to over the years... I think because recently, I experienced another let down. This is by no means a blog to bash men. Thanks to the good men in my family and the good men who’ve I’ve met along the way, I...
Where’s Donavan?
I got to work and was ready to get going. I was working a double so I needed to be on my A-game. I had a good closing crew so I wasn’t worried. Donavan had become my favorite closing guy. He was much older than me and everyone else who worked there. He worked really...
Life Sucks Sometimes
It's a privilege to have my sweet little sister, Jessica, be a guest writer this week! I have seen her grow leaps and bounds through one loss after the other. She really has been like an perfume bottle that has been shattered and leaves it's unmistakable and beautiful...
