Reminders from God’s Calendar

Monday night before bed, I reviewed my monthly goals. Goals are easier to chew when you take a bite each day. Say no to overindulgence, my friends. I said to myself, “When I wake up, I’m going to do this, this and this.” Gratefully, the sun rose and I had another chance to strive towards […]

The Spirit Virus

What ever happened to soul food? I’m not talking about the collard greens, the cornbread, the yams, or the dressing. I’m talking about the infectious, tasty conversations people use to bring to the table. Now, it seems like we as culture drink spoiled milk and vomit on others in public. Our attitudes being as tasteless […]

Flower Gardens in My Heart

As I reflect on the month of February, it’s been a great one. The month started with intense workouts in the training facility I consistently go to. The second week I celebrated my 28th Birthday in beautiful Orlando, Florida. The week ended with a dim light dinner with 14 of my closest family and friends. […]

God Protected 28

365 days went by. 3..2..1.. the clock struck 12:00am and I wake up 28. Where did the years go? Did I live in them or did they live me? How did my legs get so long and my confidence so strong? As I lay in a bed not my own, that of a Airbnb owner, […]

Things I Found in a Hotel Room

It’s been raining all week. The cold has stuck to glass windows as the wind paired the rain to every object in sight. Some love the rain, many despise it. The ones who love the rain see the cleansing. The ones who hate it see their plans deferred or adjustments to schedules they initially didn’t […]

A Time to Love

*Nature’s alarm clock wakes me up* at 7:00AM and it’s my birthday. There’s a sense of anxiousness entangled with excitement as I welcome this new chapter. Page 1 or should I say Page 7? Either way, I’m ready. Four days before, I gathered my faithful family in a dimmed lit, high end restaurant to commence […]

Finding the Beauty in the Unknown 

Alarm clock goes off. Snooze or not to snooze? Lay here for a few more minutes or get right to it? Am I excited about the day or dreading it? Is this really what I’m supposed to be doing with my life? Sigh. It’s 7:15am, whatever the answer is to the latter will have to […]

We Need Each Other

“Don’t catch feelings!” seems to be the line for the millennial generation.  The phrase is subjective; it’s interpretation varies by the individual. I’m more interested in how we have ALLOWED society to corrupt our minds to go against the very reason God created man and woman.  Each made distinctively to fulfill His purpose but both […]

“Tag! You’re IT!”

Take a walk with me down memory lane. Do you remember being chased on the playground in elementary school? In retrospect, it is hilarious to think how many times I dodged, ducked, and ran not to get caught. Due to my father being a track star and blessing me with his ability, I did not […]

God, Thank You

Today, I landed in a place unfamiliar.. My curiosity led me there and after being there I know it was God’s plan that I be there..at that moment..tonight. Before I entered the room, it was the thickest cloud of joy I’ve witnessed in a while. I met a lady who explained what I was about […]
