Jealous Much?

I’ve found myself at time standing on the outside looking in on someone’s success wondering why it seems like success on any level eludes me. I know about the whole grass is greener thing and yet, I’d like to taste some success in some area of my life. It does occur to me that mostContinue reading “Jealous Much?”

A holiday of Merriment, Meriment, mariment?

The thing I dislike most about Christmas is the gift giving part. I always wonder if I did enough; Did they REALLY like the gift? I wonder if the exchange amount will disappoint them. Sigh Today was a work day for me. Cleaning and cooking and cleaning and cooking and cleaning and limpia y laContinue reading “A holiday of Merriment, Meriment, mariment?”

Dreaming Dreams

Last night I slept very well. Dream-less at the beginning however the trip back to bed after a bathroom visit, wasn’t so fruitless. I was entering a church meeting. No one smiled at me as I made my way to my seat. A lady I know asked if I’d won any new people (curious phrase,Continue reading “Dreaming Dreams”

Binge Watching/Sleep Deprivation

I don’t usually binge watch Netflix, nope, it’s OnDemand for me. I’ve recently discovered Tyler Perry’s Sistas. Its typical TP (whatever that means to you) but the storylines evolve quicker than usual… (again, whatever that means to you). I tried to binge Power II, (Starz) nope. I tried to binge The Wild (Amazon)… ehhh… TheContinue reading “Binge Watching/Sleep Deprivation”

Covid, the Coronavirus: survival ain’t easy

My chest hurts even now. I can breathe easier… however, my chest hurts in a tight burny sort of way. The real reason I haven’t written wasn’t that though, it was personal stuff. Apologies to those who follow me. Deep sigh. It is well with my soul

Trust Him

The Bible tells us that “out of the mouth the heart speaks”. It’s in Luke chapter 6. This scripture is on my heart this morning because this week I heard/read something from a woman’s heart that spoke of the sadness in it. I was sort of surprised because she seems so very happy in herContinue reading “Trust Him”

Untitled

Pray for the people missing, grieving children. Enough said.

Finite

It occurs to me that most people arguably speak as though our language is filled with finite expressions. Finite: having limits or bounds; (verb) having a specific tense, number, and person. I won’t make this long, just know that my love of language goes deep. It’s why I choose to allow my heavenly Father toContinue reading “Finite”

Passing

By now you’ve heard about the professor who “passed” as a black woman for many years. I’m not made at her … she’s lived what she was trying to teach. She has a better understanding of what the protests and kneeling is truly about. On the flip side, it shows that Black is truly aContinue reading “Passing”

Sexual Wampum ~ 3.1

I listened intently as the speaker spoke about the dangers of sex outside of commitment. He named the usual suspects, pregnancy, std, sin. SIGH I was disappointed. They all leave out the least obvious. No one seems to remember that sex is the most intimate thing two people can do together. It is literally openingContinue reading “Sexual Wampum ~ 3.1”
