I’ve been dreading the holidays for the last 7 years. Ever since my grandmother passed and took her home cooking along with her to heaven. It wasn’t the home cooking that I missed so much though, but the warm friendship we had shared since I was born. We were 2 peas in a pod, and… Continue reading This Thanksgiving

Showers of Love
These last few weeks have been a world-wind of LOVE. God in His amazing goodness has used those near and dear to my heart to sweep me off my feet, and shower me with blessings. Last month I had a “daddy-daughter” date and was in awe of the restoration and completed work Christ did in… Continue reading Showers of Love
Moving Towards Her
We sat across from each other in the fast food restaurant which suited our needs. The tables weren’t too clean and there were noisy kids running around but they offered free wifi and that was what was important. Really it was the fact that it was a familiar environment for her and that was even… Continue reading Moving Towards Her
The Healing Power of Sisterhood
For the last 2 weeks I have been playing hostess to the dearest of friends. One of whom I met at college and connected to via Christ, the other in high school through the typical “high school” click. Our click fell away and yet we held on tightly to one another, stubbornly refusing to let… Continue reading The Healing Power of Sisterhood

I walk into my kitchen with the intent of heating up some water and mixing it with a package of chocolate powder to get warm and satisfy my sweet craving. But I stop short quickly when I see that he is there. He is there and she is there, but it is him that surprises me because he… Continue reading The Unlikely Guest

I was sitting attentively listening as the speaker effortlessly communicated the vast array of financial services we would be providing to our clients. My trusty Mac at my feet, just in case I got the urge to type out… Continue reading Super Moms
A Conflict of Sorts
She’s like a sister to me. Her brother is like a brother to me. Her family is like family to me. When we have conflict it’s like a huge space in my life that can’t be filled. When we were younger we had full out arguments. Now, seasoned with some maturity, we have conflict. It’s… Continue reading A Conflict of Sorts
Daddy’s Girl
Like millions of Americans, I grew up without a dad. It’s a complex story but I only saw my dad once as a child. I remember him burying me and my half sis in the sand on the beach, the sand still in our bathing suits as we sat in the backseat of the car,… Continue reading Daddy’s Girl
The Good Life
The holidays are here! And I’ve found myself in a new place, doing new things, enjoying the newness of life. I decided to spend some time in Florida with friends and do something I hardly ever do, take a VACATION. This was my reward for finishing up my MBA this year and I’m so grateful… Continue reading The Good Life
Full House
Ever watch Uncle Jesse, Joey, Danny, Michelle, Stephanie and DJ juggle life, love and happiness on screen, seemingly without a hitch? That was great tv. folks! Back before it was cool to see teenagers engaging in premarital sex. Back before the gay agenda was running rampant in the media. Back when things were a little… Continue reading Full House
