Yesterday at fellowship we talked about the importance of having a good foundation. Whether it’s a spiritual foundation, the foundation of a building or even the foundation of a relationship, one fact is consistent: whatever is built upon that foundation cannot be expected to last if the foundation is weak. In regards to our spiritual… Continue reading Sealing the Cracks

The Release
You wake up that morning like you always do. Get dressed like you always do. Make your breakfast, lunch and snacks for the day like you always do. Everything is normal. You even create a new hairstyle; send a text to friends for their approval and head out the door to make your way to… Continue reading The Release
Walking in Purpose
Last week I was so honored to be a vendor at a major poetry event. Janette ikz, Ezekiel, Jackie and Preston graced the stage with their presence and rocked the mic as they are so well known to do. Their style of gritty transparency and truth and God’s unconditional love is what makes their lyrics… Continue reading Walking in Purpose
A New Perspective
I was asked recently if I would prefer to be a full time writer. I toiled over that question for about 24 hours and came to the conclusion that “No, I would not want to be a full time writer”. No diss to all the writers out there, it’s just that I realize I am… Continue reading A New Perspective
Facing Disappointment
I did not get the job I applied for. I kind of knew that would happen but it’s still a letdown. Even applying for it tugged on so many heart strings. This journey of surrender and waiting never gets easy. When I was told there was another more qualified candidate I did a quick debate… Continue reading Facing Disappointment
Thoughts on Being a Writer

Our lives could not be more different and I think part of the gift of our friendship is the pleasure we take in that… Continue reading Thoughts on Being a Writer
Redefining Success, Choosing Joy, Learning Grace
I’m reading a book called “Single & Free to Be Me” by Dr. Clarence Shuler. In it he shares a counseling session he has with a 40 year-old single, successful business woman. She tells him she does not feel successful as a person and he helps her to see that she feels like a failure… Continue reading Redefining Success, Choosing Joy, Learning Grace
Purpose in the Cube
There is one word on my heart today. It is “purpose”. I walk down the same aisles in the same building I have walked down for 8 years. I sit in the same cubicle, turn on the same screen, and follow my same routine. “Purpose”. What is my purpose? How do I find purpose in… Continue reading Purpose in the Cube
The Letter
Several years ago I had the opportunity to apply for a new position. It would be a promotion and my manager was eagerly encouraging me to apply. I had missed out on a previous position and really was ok with that b/c I was being sensitive to Holy Spirit. I figured that since I had… Continue reading The Letter
Update on the Work Front
A few weeks ago I received an email request to do a review for my boss based on his work performance. I was shocked. I had not received this request in 4 years. I suspect the reason I received it 4 years ago was because out of all of his employees I was the new… Continue reading Update on the Work Front
