Sexual Wampum~2
As a young woman, I spent most of my days just trying to fit in with whatever crowd I found myself adjacent to; even now I still find myself struggling NOT to do that. Honestly? I’ve never felt “a part” of anything. I’ve always felt as if I float through this life alone. Now whileContinue reading “Sexual Wampum~2”
Who You Are
I watch my granddaughter learning to navigate the world around her. I’m told she looks a lot like me, fair skinned, thick hips and thighs. She has a quick smile and deep, deep dimples. She is an open slate, or more plainly ~ an open target. I made up my mind when I first sawContinue reading “Who You Are”
Body Dysmorphia
I’ve been NOT liking my body ever since my Aunt told me I was fat, I was very young. I thought I had BD, but after taking this unofficial test… I may have to rethink a few things. My hubby calls me sexy, desirable, and a veritable buffet of scrumptious… well, you know. 😉 But I’veContinue reading “Body Dysmorphia”
HELLOOOOOOO!
It’s been 4months since I last wrote to you. Apologies! So much has been going on with me. The kids are well, the hubby is well, I am well. The weather is hot! I feel like breaking into Gladys Knight’s version of “The Way We Were”. As I mature, I find myself remembering, ME. IContinue reading “HELLOOOOOOO!”
Sexual Wam Pum
Well, today was our last “session”. Periodically I speak with young women who have questions about marriage. She’s getting married in a few days and well, she still didn’t understand why I wasn’t as excited about it as she wants me to be about it. Experience has taught me the signs of pending heartache. Am IContinue reading “Sexual Wam Pum”
Who Are You?
Do you truly know who you are? What is your purpose on earth…. in this life? Do you have a plan? Could you communicate this plan if you had to? Write the plan and make it clear What dream have you allowed to grow so stagnant, that it’s just about dead? What steps could youContinue reading “Who Are You?”
…Learned To Be Content…
Philippians 4:9 Whatever you have learned and received and heard from me, and seen in me, put these things into practice. And the God of peace will be with you. 10 Now I rejoice greatly in the Lord that at last you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned,but you had no opportunity to showContinue reading “…Learned To Be Content…”
Hail and Farewell!
I truly don’t know how to feel. It’s odd. The only thing I can compare it to is seeing my grandfather cry back when John F. Kennedy was killed. I remember that my entire street and then my church cried. I didn’t get it then, because I was young, but I did get that something wasContinue reading “Hail and Farewell!”
Stressed, thy name is Desserts…
We’ve all seen it, “stressed is desserts backwards” or my personal favorite, “Too blessed to be stressed!” Well the truth is, when you’re experiencing stress, no amount of cute sayings will help to lessen it. The core of my stress is children. They are 15, 13, 11, 10, 5, and 1. At this moment theContinue reading “Stressed, thy name is Desserts…”
