You lost something but was it really a loss? Lately, I’ve thought a lot about “loss”. In reflecting, I realized that I was in an oddly thankful mode as I reflected on the “losses” I have experienced over the years. My losses took me to where I am today. They brought me closer to walking…
I’ve been thinking about writing this post for a while, trying to figure out some sassy wise-assed way of starting and frankly, I’ve got nothing. So here goes my year in review, about 30 minutes before midnight. First things first! The good thing about the above is that people tell me that I don’t look…

After a long week, I took some time to just reflect on life and where I’ve progressed to since the year began. I realized something about myself. Many of the persons I had started the year with, has disappeared. This made me pause and reflect on how I felt about their disappearance. I realized I…

“Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted in me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him for the help of his countenance.” -Psalm 42:5 I’ve been reading “Battlefield of the Mind” by Joyce Meyer for a couple of weeks now. She was discussing the topic of…
