Porch Stories…
So …today I’m home from work and just taking a day. And quite pensive. I’ve had a completely FULL week and it took more emotional, mental and physical strength than I’ve exerted in quite some time. Sitting and allowing the sun to hit my feet and soak up sun, is just: peaceful. There were transitions […]

Giving from a deficient place.
I’m reading a devotional , and in the devotional it speaks about giving from a deficient place. And I that deficient place, it says more shall be provided than you’ll know.

Taking Care of My Soul.
It’s so very interesting how patience plays into our care of the soul. Almost two months ago, I left Tulsa Oklahoma, tense and overwhelmed and anxious. Across country moves just seem to impact me in that way. I’ve done two of them, in my lifetime. And as much as I plan to be calm and take […]

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.

The Value Of The Table.
If you have a table at home, it’s likely much happens around that table. Or, if you’re like me in the past few months, things have piled up on it, like books and magazines and … “stuff”. I’ve decided this year to honor my table, at home. It’s so dear to me. It’s been in […]

On Being Authentically Happy.
I’m learning authentic happiness is often unearthed in the places we least expect. So… after a very challenging week last week, and more contemplation on just what it takes to remain in a positive state of mind and be: #NthabiHappy , I have found that it takes effort and a soul- searching and it helps […]
