It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”
One of the benefits of being an early 80’s baby is that I carry the fond memories of my 5-year-old self playing Nintendo with our next door neighbors, repeatedly watching MJ’s “Thriller” video (I actually used to think it was a movie b/c it was so long) and enjoying movies such as “Adventures in Baby-sitting”,… Continue reading It’s Our Time!: Key Lessons from “The Goonies”
The Perfect Gentleman
Saturday night he was a little late, but it was my fault b/c I kept changing our meeting time. It had been 2 years since we last seen each other and he had been on my heart lately.

The Single Moments of Life
I had one of those “single” moments the other day. You know the kind…well maybe you don’t.

When Nintendo Crushes the Male Ego
Saturday evening something rather humorous and yet a tad sad happened. I was out of town, had just had the time of my life with some friends daring enough to zip-line earlier that day and we were now gearing up for a potluck held at one of their boyfriend’s places. I had anticipated meeting some new people at this… Continue reading When Nintendo Crushes the Male Ego

I’ve discovered there is really more to life than having a relationship (who would have thought?). I wouldn’t… Continue reading When Being Single Teaches You How Amazing You Are
Meeting God in the Bathroom
Today I took a much needed break. I stopped my diligent attempt at being productive, left my cube and cried in the public bathroom stall. As the tears began to flow I tried to stop them but gave up and released the anguish from inside. Along with my tears was every negative emotion I had… Continue reading Meeting God in the Bathroom
Friendship: Betrayal, Forgiveness & Reconciliation
This weekend I attended a doctoral graduation ceremony out of state. The car ride was 6 hours long and my mom and I faced an additional 1 1/2 hour delay due to a four-car accident.

A Letter to My Single Sisters
I once read this book called “A Knight In Shining Armor” by P.B. Wilson, and P.B. shared about a woman who was so convinced that she knew exactly who her husband was that she took it upon herself to start making her own bridal dress, choose her bridesmaids, rent the hall and hire a caterer!… Continue reading A Letter to My Single Sisters
