As I sit here in Starbucks on a HOT summer September day, I’m reflecting on the highs and lows of my life. It’s hard not to get down on yourself when you think that you should be further along in your journey than you are. You began to think about the left turn you took when…
Brain Disease
So, it’s the 22nd day of the month and by now, a lot of people have forgotten all about their resolutions and goals. Things that they were so excited about 21 days ago, now are a distant memory. When looking at your “laundry list” of things you want to accomplish, it can be overwhelming. I’ve…
Pressing Reset…Starting NOT QUITE Over
It’s a new year!!! Many people are setting goals, making resolutions and conducting what I like to call “housekeeping”. You’ve seen the posts where people are deleting phone numbers and ultimately people from their lives, so they can move forward in the new year, with a fresh start and a clean slate. People are…
Where Has the Time Gone!?!?!?!?
Nothing like time off from work and the end of year to remind you of all the things that you HAVEN’T done and all of the promises you made to yourself that you would get done this year. I feel like I’m so far behind on life and then I remember a statement that Iyanla…
I can see clearly now….
Sitting at my desk and realized that I was having trouble seeing my monitor. I had already adjusted the blinds to the windows in my office and that wasn’t helping. So, I kept wiping off my computer monitor, but soon realized that it’s not the monitor, it was me. My glasses were FILTHY. I took…
I’m baaaack!
Hey you…. So, it appears that I’ve forgotten about you, but I haven’t. I needed to steal away to continue to grow up. I love you, I always have, but there was no way that I could devote the time to you that was needed. My attention was divided and my focus on matters that…
The Land of Oblivion
Silence is a very difficult thing for someone who is a Communicator. To have to be quiet when you feel that you have something to say, is a tough space to be in. Well, imagine being in a place where you feel that you must defend yourself in an effort to “fight for your life”. Well,…
Shrinking Violet No More!
I’ve heard the term “shrinking violet” before. However, it wasn’t until it was revealed that I was acting like a “shrinking violet” that I decided to research the origin and what the purest form of the meaning was. So, when the comment that I “play the background” was made for the 3rd or 4th time in…
My Hair is Growing Back
Okay, okay, I know the title is a bit misleading…this is NOT a hair post. However, it is the best way to describe how I’m beginning to feel. For all of you “Bible scholars” (lol) I’m sure you remember the story of Samson and Delilah. I won’t take you through the entire story, however, the…
It’s All About Your View
So, in an effort to get/maintain my “Fabulous Forties” position, I’ve been up early working out every morning. My workouts are usually pretty uneventful. You can find me walking/running in my neighborhood, sweating, huffing and puffing and on occasion singing aloud to anyone within earshot of me. However, this particular workout was different. I had…
