Several years ago, I was spiritually released from my previous employer. I had been through the “woo” at that company and my mom often joked about the possibility of them being exposed on the news due to their corruption (she even threatened to call the news a few times). But it was God’s will that… Continue reading Ending Well & Using Words

Super “Aunt”
This weekend I did something out of the ordinary. Instead of going to the beach alone, spending my weekend reading, cleaning the house, watching random shows on Hulu/Youtube/Netflix or any other thing that only involved ME, I invited community into my plans. I texted a friend with 2 kids and invited her to the beach.… Continue reading Super “Aunt”
Change is Good
So I got to finally hang out with my friend last night. We had been missing each other for months and it seemed like forever since we had our normal one-on-one at our favorite hangout: Panera Bread 😉. I had to re-arrange my schedule and even when other events emerged that day which threatened to dismantle our intended quality time I… Continue reading Change is Good
Why I’m (Still) Single
I sat across the dinner table from my friend of several years. She was married and a mom of 4 and was sneaking off from her family to meet me in my time of need. We had planned this for some time but I did not foresee that I would just so happen to be… Continue reading Why I’m (Still) Single
I Waited for You
One of the things that has brought comfort in this “season of singleness” is the fact that there are many others having the same experiences. Many others who are fabulous, amazing individuals who could be dating or courting or “kickin it”. But they don’t. Because they desire something greater. One of those individuals is Janette… Continue reading I Waited for You

Ever see that movie “He’s Just Not that Into You”? Well if you haven’t, I’m sure you’ve experienced, or know someone who’s experienced any of the types of relationships that were occurring in that movie. And most of the relationships were, well, dysfunctional. *Spoiler Alert* There’s a married couple who got married because they were… Continue reading A Single Girl’s Guide to Dating (Well)
Apple Pie, Ice Cream & Wine
This week my friend came over and we hung out twice. Even though the circumstances of this season are less than fortunate, I’m blessed to see my relationships with others growing in intimacy as a result. This particular friend has been a surprising source of blessing and encouragement. She and her husband have affirmed me… Continue reading Apple Pie, Ice Cream & Wine
A Sober Realization, This World is Passing Away
Friday night I was blessed and honored to celebrate the marriage of a brother in the Lord. I was blessed because I had been waiting with him for the desire of his heart to be met. Years ago he shared his desire and yet it was several years before the Lord brought forth His promise. … Continue reading A Sober Realization, This World is Passing Away
Where I’m at These Days
I’ve found myself in recovery from the removal of codependent relationships. Some have lasted more than a decade. And though it is now freeing to experience life in this new and healthier way, it is also scary and makes me feel extremely vulnerable. But I guess that is how anyone feels when they’ve been addicted… Continue reading Where I’m at These Days
No More Fairytales
I used to believe in fairytales. I used to believe when Disney said that the couple lived happily ever after, well, then they did. I believed the ending of Pride & Prejudice when Elizabeth is sitting there in front of her newly inherited mansion of a home, blissfully happy with Mr. Darcy (her new husband).… Continue reading No More Fairytales
