My Flavor of Being …Happy
Happiness has been a journey for me. I wrote this on my post today , and boy …was I surprised what I wrote! I didn’t expect to write about the “flavor” of my happiness. I laugh inside because I didn’t expect “Happiness” to have a flavor… (haha) … But it does! Happiness has a taste […]

Cultivating Motivation.
What keeps you motivated? I remember grappling with this question over a period of time- maybe ten years. I didn’t realize I was ‘grappling’ because I was sincerely depressed in my life. it’s extremely hard to be happy when life sucks. I was so discouraged with myself. I couldn’t remain motivated. But I was also […]

Clarity.
Clarity. It’s not easy to achieve. I mean should we even make it a goal? When 2019 happened, I initially didn’t desire clarity. I asked for something else. In fact, that word is a slight misnomer now, because Clarity assumed its position and took a hold of my destiny like none other . “For sure, […]

HOPE. ( Darkness Has a Time Limit)
March 21, 2019 Hope. It’s so obscure sometimes. Like … how do you stay hopeful? Is it Friends that help you to remain hopeful? Is there a routine that’s involved? Is there something elusive about hope? Does a lack of it, make us cry? Make us sad? Is it reachable? How do you know when […]

Acceptance & Receiving.
This very well may be first writing in 2018 on Receiving. I suppose if I set a goal, then by the end of this year, both you and me shall learn immensely about my one word. (So my first goal is to truly see where this precious word leads me!) I will say this, this […]

6. #50DaysToFifty: Joy At 50. Do Your Hearts Work.
Ava Duvernay inspires me. As I get older and wiser, I look to women like her, to inspire me. Strong, Powerful Black Woman, who doesn’t forget the skin she’s in. That has brought to light (on film) what the discrepancies are that exist between Blacks and Whites (in the Netflix movie 13th); and even giving […]

These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassions, gentleness, and a deep loving concern. Beautiful people do not […]

My Sabbath Rest, Day .
I’ve taken to micro-blogging for the sake of a lack of time, and what you see here is the beginnings of my offering to you – as I share how I partake of my personal rest. Self-care used to be hard for me. I have a very busy job and some days I get going […]
