There are seasons in which it’s easy to share, and then there are seasons wherein I go into turtle mode. Today, I know I need to share. As a matter of fact, I know I need to share more. Even though it seems like I wear my heart on my sleeve, I really don’t. Shocking,Continue reading “Faith and trust”

Emotions happen, y’all
Over the years, I’ve been taught, encouraged, almost coached to suppress my emotions. Ok, let me be more specific. Happy was good. Anger was understandable. Fear was normal…but we pretended it wasn’t always sitting on our shoulder, holding onto our throats. Sadness was present quite often…but it was fed. Tears…that was the no-go danger zone.Continue reading “Emotions happen, y’all”
Have you ever had a day that was so chock full of emotion that you are completely, emotionally hungover the next day? Well…that is me today. Yesterday my niece graduated from high school. I may be weeping under those sunglasses…but you can’t prove it! 😍😍 To say that I am proud of her is theContinue reading
What do you see?
When you look in the mirror, what do you see? When you look inside of yourself, what do you see? You see, I don’t give shit what you look like on outside. YOU ARE INNATELY BEAUTIFUL. You know how I know that this is true? Because YOU have the fingerprint of God on you. WhenContinue reading “What do you see?”
Happy Fathers Day
Today I feel like I’m on the episode of “Survivor” when they remember all of the people who were voted off the island. God had blessed me with some great men in my life…but over the past few years some of the men have been removed from my life. I am blessed that my fatherContinue reading “Happy Fathers Day”
Visiting the relatives
From Friday to Sunday, I was in Syracuse visiting my family on my father’s side. I had an amazing time. I have to admit, though…that many colors were used to paint this visit. Let me explain. Not too long ago, I made a comment on my buddy Chill Pastor’s blog. I wrote about how theContinue reading “Visiting the relatives”
Nick update
I went to see my nephew yesterday in the hospital. He’s in the DuPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, DE. He’s recovering from his surgery well. Last night he ate for the first time since the surgery. Today they took out his catheter, and he is eating everything he can. He specially requested “meat,” soContinue reading “Nick update”
More personal update
If you are reading this, I covet your prayers. Or a kind thought. Or your understanding. My family is going through a bit of a transition right now. My family in Syracuse. My Oma (my father’s mother) is moving in with my aunt and uncle. It’s a rather natural transition…but for some reason, I’m notContinue reading “More personal update”
My mom is a rockstar
Well, my mom has taken to reading my blog…and commenting…and regularly making me cry. Today she totally pimped me out…haha Sometimes it is easy to forget how blessed I am because I am too close to my situation. I notice the insanity more than I notice the encouragement, the support, the laughs, the endless cupsContinue reading “My mom is a rockstar”
Thanksgiving is on its way
I learned something recently…something great. I can’t tell you what it is just yet…but it is pretty big 🙂 I’m pretty excited. OK…I’m really excited. It does not involve me moving to Boston…but I should be able to get up there to visit. As soon as it’s official, I’ll blab. Don’t worry! I feel likeContinue reading “Thanksgiving is on its way”
