  • I was watching a clip from Iyanla Vanzant on Oprah. The title of this post, “Daddy Gone,” is the healing sentence she prescribed to daughters who grew up fatherless. She suggested saying this sentence and accepting it as true after you have told the true authentic story of your own father. So, here it goes.…

  • I am up at 10:37 PM when I should be asleep, thinking. I was thinking about how disappointment comes in waves. They are big, boisterous and all encompassing. Imagine being a voyager in the middle of your nautical journey when a big wind blows in a tempest. What do you do?  Do you tuck tail…

  • Edge of the Frame – Mr. Bear

    I had been sitting on a Walgreen’s shelf for a few weeks when a young, caramel-faced woman stared into my eyes. She picked me up and squeezed my side. Sandwiched between her arm and her side, I was taken to the register and purchased. I was elated to be chosen and soon I would have…

  • These are two very loaded words – trust and God. The ‘trust exercise’ is used as a team building mechanism. It involves two people. One must turn his back to the other, cross his arms, close his eyes, and fall backwards trusting the other individual will catch him. Not I, said the cat! My inclination…

  • How Saturday Cleaning Blessed My Soul

    There is a dog in my space. He knows no boundaries – only-dog syndrome. Subsequently, there is dog hair found everywhere. To combat this fluster of fur, I vacuum. I have a really good vacuum. It even has the word, “Powerful” in its name. Today the fur was winning. I could not understand. I had…

  • Happy Black Girl – Tamika Catchings and Las Vegas

    I ran across a page on the internet once entitled, Angry Black Woman, or something like that. The author discussed a range of issues – race, politics, gender, etc. I just could not get passed the name. I believe that words have power to shape your future and even influence your current mood. I did…

  • Ephesians 6: 12-18 Outlines the Armor of God. It is a list of battle tools we as Christians must wear to defeat the enemy in a war that is not physical but spiritual. I was asked to teach this Sunday’s Sunday School. I have decided to share it here with all of you. The topic: The…

  • The Sorry I Never Got

    People will tick you off! They will hurt you unprovoked. Sometimes, they will leave you hanging after you have been there for them many times. Life lesson 101 – rain comes. We cannot allow ourselves to drown in it.   I have read the book Fervent by Priscilla Shirer. It is an excellent prayer manual.…

  • Power: Episode 304 – Don’t Worry Baby

    I have always wanted to do Youtube reviews. This video is my proverbial toe in the review waters. lol I am very impressed with the acting, story-lines and dialogue in the Starz hit show Power. It stars Omari Hardwick, Naturi Naughton, and Lela Loren.   Please let me know what you think!  

  • Reclaiming My Space

    In the space movie, Gravity, Sandra Bullock plays an astronaut who floats alone in space after an accident separates her from the space station she is working on. She is left alone, forced to face everything she ran away from while trying to find her way home. Man, allegory! We all need our space – literally…
