  • Dream with Me

    I was listening to Life Coach and Etiquette Expert Sabrina Samuel’s YouTube show and she said something that resonated with me. As a child, she told others that she wanted to travel the world. Others mocked her, told her that it takes money, etc. The word seeds they sowed were tares of unbelief; however, she…

  • Review: Spare by Prince Harry, Duke of Sussex

    I write love stories for women who desire their very own happily ever after. What better memoir to review than one by an actual prince. Spare, is a touching recounting of a life of privilege and heartache. It is the agony of the human condition that transcends blue-blood privilege. Prince Harry humanizes himself and his…

  • Recurring Dream

    I walk up the stairs to the 2nd story of a three-story Chicago apartment building again. I cannot recall how many times I have climbed those stairs. The apartment on some visits is the peeling paint version from the 1980s with the storefront church located on the 1st floor. Tonight, it is the gentrified edition…

  • Lessons from the Porcelain Throne

    I did not have “stick my hand in a public toilet” on my Sunday BINGO card, yet, here we are. I get up Sunday morning excited for service. I have been working from home for the past three weeks and really dreading having to drive into the office on Monday. I was looking forward to…

  • Are You Afraid of Your Dreams?

  • Out of Control

    Janet Jackson’s top charting album Control debuted in 1986. I was 7 years old. I had no control over anything. I went to church, to school, and to bed when I was told. I ate what was put in front of me. However, my siblings and I did jointly revolt against stewed rutabagas. I shared…

    Last Saturday, I celebrated two people embarking on a new life together – a wedding. This past Saturday, I celebrated the life of my aunt – a funeral. Life is impermanent In 2019, we were on the warm sands of Jamaica celebrating her grandson’s wedding. The wedding was a beautiful moment where family got together…

  • Dallas Black Bloggers Meetup at Native Coffee

    I forget names as soon as they pass from my auditory nerve in my inner ear to the auditory cortex in my brain. It’s my superpower. A group of women met today to discuss blog content and life at Native Coffee. It’s a coffeehouse in a church or church in a coffeehouse. Not sure which.…

    There is a story in the bible known as the Parable of the Talents. In this parable, a man leaves on a far journey. He entrusts three servants with varying amounts of talents. To one he gave five; to another two; and to the third, one talent. Upon the man’s return, he called the three…
