His Law is Love

I’ve never considered myself to be a user.  You know, someone who depletes others’ time, energy, service, etc. for the sake of meeting their own needs.  For the sake of getting what they want…only with no intention of giving back.  I’ve always tried to give back.  Even if it was in a different way than… Continue reading His Law is Love

The Unlikely Guest

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

FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM? (Reposted from Ms. Mia Writes)

The last few months of my life have been riddled with sketchy and surprising behavior at best.  That age old wrestle between the flesh and the Spirit continue to combat within me and sometimes it’s a day-by-day…moment-by-moment occurrence.  In the midst of this battle I found my good friend’s blog post on the subject of… Continue reading FLATTERED BY ATTENTION…WHY DO YOU WANT HIM?

Just Roommates

I’ve heard it said that married couples can fall into a “lull”.  Sometimes the lull lasts for months… sometimes years.  Subtly the couple’s relationship becomes based more on the kids and the house and their jobs than on each other.  Their love for each other turns cold and they find themselves sitting across the table at dinner with only… Continue reading Just Roommates

Marriage at Its Finest

Saturday evening I was wandering aimlessly as my day’s plans had changed and I suddenly found myself with too much time on my hands (I know, I know, poor me). I was trying not to give in to temptation so prior to the cinema starting I made a last ditch effort and texted a friend… Continue reading Marriage at Its Finest

To My Friend on Her Wedding Day

Dear Tierra, I can’t really remember how we met although I know it was through a mutual friend.  I definitely remember when I first saw you I couldn’t take my eyes off of you.  You were beautiful.  I wondered “wow, that girl is so pretty”.  But it wasn’t until we did Amy’s book club and we were… Continue reading To My Friend on Her Wedding Day

Musings on Settling…

I sat across from my friend of 7+ years on her comfortable, homey sofa and tried to ignore the figure sprawled out on the floor at our feet. Her boyfriend, who was intently watching some sort of cartoon (Batman maybe?) on what I assumed to be her laptop, was not even worth conversing with in my opinion.… Continue reading Musings on Settling…

30 & Thriving!

One movie I can watch over and over again is “13 Going on 30”.  I mean Jennifer Garner does a superb job of being simultaneously witty and adorable.  Maybe b/c I’m more serious than humorous I’m attracted all the more to that quality in folks.  Her character is 13-years-old and longs to fast forward through… Continue reading 30 & Thriving!

The Changing of the Tide

Last night I watched as my friend separated her “keeps” from her “give-aways”.  Everything from jewelry to clothes was being placed into one of those piles because in just a few weeks she will be leaving the city for a year…maybe forever.  She’s been waiting for this moment.  To finally be released into international territory… Continue reading The Changing of the Tide
