We can’t eradicate it. Today, I had the opportunity of a lifetime. Back before it was a popular buzzword, I was learning about human trafficking. What shocks me, truthfully, is that more people are not aware of what is going on in plain sight. It was an intimate group of powerhouses. People who are inContinue reading “If We Don’t Talk About It”

Faith and trust
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”
I can’t run from myself…
There’s nowhere to hide. For years, I was convinced that if I kept it moving, eventually things would be different. Better. As if miraculously, all of the baggage I was carrying around would be lost by the airline, and I’d be…happy. When I realized my baggage was attached to me, I tried to numb theContinue reading “I can’t run from myself…”
Strength, insecurity, dignity, grace, fear, faith…all the bloody things
There’s something in the air the week. It feels like a week of rapid transformation. Or deterioration. Or both. If I were to lay it all out, you wouldn’t believe the shit I’ve been facing. And it’s only Thursday. In general, I feel that I am a pretty selfless person. But man…this week…it’s been allContinue reading “Strength, insecurity, dignity, grace, fear, faith…all the bloody things”
Triggered into the future
Years ago, there was a man with whom I was very much in love. We were best friends. We were basically inseparable. There was one huge, glaring problem between us. My faith. We had hours and hours of discussions, debates, tirades for and against God. Finally, one day, he asked me a question. “Deneen, ifContinue reading “Triggered into the future”
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 is YOUR story?
Today, waiting for the bus, I met the most delightful woman. “Have you been waiting for long?” That’s public transportation code for I want to talk. She was coming from the doctor. Lawd Jesus…she was so wonderfully refreshing. I wanted to bring her home so that I could talk to her all day long. YouContinue reading “What is YOUR story?”
Comparison is a waste of time
Have you ever found yourself wondering, “what does he/she have that I don’t?” I’ve found that question arising a lot lately in a personal situation. Tonight, I finally figured it out. You’ve got nothing but problems, woman. You see…I’m holding my own here. I support myself. When I go to sleep, I know that, atContinue reading “Comparison is a waste of time”
Treatise
I understand why I’ve attracted the people into my life that I have. I take responsibility for the energy that I’ve put out into the universe to attract the people I have. That being said…my energy is shifting. I’m not tolerating the same bullshit I have in the past…because I’m not the same person IContinue reading “Treatise”
My own personal Narnia
The best part about having an autoimmune disease is that it builds a level oh humility in you that is unparalleled. I mean…one day you feel like a million bucks. You have a decent amount of energy; you sleep like it’s your job; your whole body is working in synergy. The next morning you wakeContinue reading “My own personal Narnia”
