I am an author of Christian Romance novels. My debut novel, “Ruth’s Awakening: A Love Story is available on Amazon and Kindle. I love living, learning and laughing. I would rather have a great experience than a new purse or shoes. Let’s grow in Christ together.

  • Say What You Want and See What You Said

    I don’t want a dog. I want a husband. There I said it. I am single and I bought a house but I refuse to buy a dog, or a cat, or freaking fish. Thank you to all of you well meaning friends but I don’t want animal companionship. There is absolutely nothing wrong with…

  • Short Story Part #4

    Déjà vu. It was the summer of 2010, a drought. Forty days and no rain. Brenda was sweating bullets underneath her dress standing next to the stage at Brews, Coffee, and Books. She had finally worked up the courage to read a piece. She had chosen Midnight Moon. “Next to the stage, we have a…

  • Short Story Part #3

    Portia has a lot of teeth, Brenda thought. And she smiled as if she needed to show them all, even the molars. She looks great though, Brenda added to her silent discourse to prove to herself that she wasn’t a hater. “Heeyy, Bren Bren. Heeyy Carmen. Glad y’all could make it.” “Wouldn’t miss it,” Carmen…

  • Too Light to Be Seen

    The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. John 1:5 SAD or Seasonal Affective Disorder affects tens of millions of people. SAD is associated with the prolonged darkness of winter months. Some places experience winter up to seven months out of the year. Can you imagine being SAD for over…

    Sherri Shepherd and the Dangers of Loneliness

    I saw an interview of Sherri Shepherd on the DL Hughley Radio Show discussing her ex husband to whom she is paying spousal support. DL jokes about him being a sorry **s man. Sherri said (paraphrasing) that she had to take ownership of her decision to marry him, a decision she said was made out…

  • Enforcing Boundaries

    Enforcing Boundaries

    One of the most difficult exercises I have encountered (outside of burpees) has been setting and reinforcing healthy boundaries in my life. I can distinctly recall having a bully of a friend in college. Not the physically violent type of bully but a controlling, will-imposing, guilt-tripping kind of friend. I tried everything, except telling her…

  • Permission to Put You First

    Permission to Put You First

    Ever hear yourself talking and realize you need to take your own advice? I was being interviewed by hosts Denise Cole Hill and Wilson Murkinson for Nuu Beats Radio on Saturday. I start saying something like, “you have to give yourself permission to go for what you really want, not for what you think you…

  • Choosing Love and Happiness

    Holding on to something you have instead of going for what you really want is a recipe for unhappiness. Let me say it again! Holding on to something you don’t really want instead of going for what you truly desire is a recipe for unhappiness. EMPLOYMENT People stay in jobs they hate due to a…

  • 5 Things I Have Learned About Mother and Daughter Relationships

    Halloween was two days ago. I never really dress for the occasion anymore. If pressed, I just go as a gypsy. A little extra makeup, scarf and a long skirt and I have nailed it. No extra money spent, so forethought.  As an adult, I understand that free candy is just an invitation to bloating…
