When you love someone, love them where they are, at this very moment in time. Love should be unconditional, affection with no limits or conditions. Loving people teaches a lot about oneself. The people who are attracted to us in different stages of our lives are mirrors of where we are/were at that point inContinue reading “Love conquers all”

Slavery exists in the US
There is so much outrage because of open slave markets in Libya…and I join that outrage. What makes me so angry is that there are slaves here, today, in 2018, in the United States of America, and it seems like no one is saying a word. I guess it’s okay if a woman is aContinue reading “Slavery exists in the US”
Breaking trends
I left my job in the dental field almost six months ago. I was sick mentally and physically. I was so far beyond burnt out that I was unrecognizable to myself. Over 10 years ago, I left a church. I was mentally and physically sick. I was so far beyond burnt out from volunteering aContinue reading “Breaking trends”
Watch out for the whale!!!
Throughout my life, the book of Jonah always comes up at pivotal times. Honestly, when I’m in a certain frame of mind (like where I am right now,) I prefer to avoid the ocean and the book of Jonah. Here’s the super cliff notes version of Jonah in case you’ve never heard it. God tellsContinue reading “Watch out for the whale!!!”
Unwritten
When something comes up over and over, you have a choice. You can ignore it or you can investigate it. In light of becoming more self-aware, mindful and such things, I decided to embrace it. Right after I graduated from Temple in 2005, I went through a very dark period. I broke up with myContinue reading “Unwritten”

I mean, who throws ice balls at Santa? Oh yeah…Eagles fans 🤦♀️ But I digress. I’ve lived in this cityContinue reading “Who’s in your tribe?”
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?”
Being a Christian in the US today is rough.
Don’t get me wrong. It’s not as rough as it is in Muslim countries. I can declare my faith openly here without fear of being killed, tortured, losing property or being imprisoned. Being a Christian doesn’t mean that I’ll lose my job. Before you throw stones at me or crucify me, hear me out. InContinue reading “Being a Christian in the US today is rough.”
Do the hard things
Yesterday was the first true test of my new life. I was home, in my apartment, alone…alone with my own thoughts. That can be a scary place. I couldn’t get out of bed, for starters. I was, and frankly am, completely exhausted. From travel. From emotions. From making big decisions. From not-so-promising news. From life. Continue reading “Do the hard things”
What the fluff?!?!
This morning, I may have freaked out a little bit. I am leaving my job 😳 Yea, I made a rational decision based on evidence that it is time for me to leave. Yes, I know that I know that it’s the right decision for me, and this is the time that it needs toContinue reading “What the fluff?!?!”
