Pressure Of the Big Screen
I enjoy going to the movies. Visual imagery and a great storyline (executed correctly) strengthens/stretches my own creative flare/flow. I frequent the movie theater to break up the monotony of everyday occurrences and to attempt some type of balance in my enjoyment of the literary world. On most occasions, words in and of themselves can…

Pressure To Pronounce A Blessing
“…We’re rooting for the truth to win out in you. We couldn’t possibly do otherwise.” (2 Cor. 13:9 MSG) Redundancy is an irritant. The same old cycle, circumstance, circumventing, cruelty, conniving, complication, compromise and consistences can wear on the clarity of how we are to live and love. It can blind us to the truth…

Unexpected
December 13, 2015 my co-workers and I we’re informed that the grant for our program would be ending as of January 31, 2016. Administration said they would try to place everyone but it was very probable that many of us would no longer have positions within the organization. At that time, I was one of…

Well I Never
I never wanted to know what life and love would be like without prayer, purpose and passion. With prayer the uncertainties of life and love register bare able, my purpose fine tunes and my passion is renewed daily. The reality of prayer brings into focus the illusion of self sufficiency and the distortion of independence.…

“Early investments grow over a lifetime ” (AntTBri). I believe in planting seeds, making deposits… interpersonal investments of time, talent and treasure. Especially, possibly excessively in terms of our children. It is always my hope that the seeds of love and attention will nurture a solid, stable and steadfast foundation to grow upon. People comment…

Why Love?
A few weeks ago my nephews treated me to dinner. It was an “intervention ” talk where they shared their concern about me being by myself or alone for so long. Their talk was so much BETTER than coming home to Imani and Jalen with the match. com profile filled out (Thank you Jesus). That…

There
There are some places we go with God that ushers in beautiful tranquility. Life and love feels doable. We enjoy the experience and don’t mind the journey. Those places we expectantly, readily and willingly go with God. There is no resistance or dread…this is where God is, where He is leading and taking me (high…

DARE
It is no secret, nor is it a badge of honor that abstinence is my choice of life and love while I’m single. When people ask me “how do you do it” or advise that God understands we have needs” my response always throws them because it is not laden with Scripture although it is…

Queen
Having had, displayed, lived and loved from a heart posture likened to Michal (King David’s wife) I’m cognitive of my motive of saying and doing lest bitterness, grudges, hurts, disappointment and entitlement rule me once again. Hers is an example I never again want to set. I never again want to live or love void…
