The decision to just be yourself and walk in your purpose is challenging to say the least. Life throws you so many curves that foraging your way through your path can be extremely difficult. At 46, my path has been winding, up and down, sometimes repetitive, sometimes dead-ends. I used to think I was being punished, or that I didn't deserve to be happy. I used to think God was punishing me for my sins past and present. I also felt it was not only my pain; but I shared it with those I love the most-my family. Well flash forward through years of love and loss, fear and overcoming fear, failures and accomplishments and I've learned to stand still and TRUST GOD. 

It's so cliche- but I used to sing Dr. Watts in church: "I love the Lord HE heard my cry I-I -IIII loooove the uh uh Lorrrrd HEEEE hear rrrrd myyyy MY YY Cry" and I recognized that HE is with me no matter what. And it may be tough more times than not; but HE always has me.  I learned to walk in my TRUTH, my purpose and just BEE ME.

They may become rude, demanding, manipulative and abusive. All of my children at some point experienced growing pains..... Since my ex and I were never on the same page in regards to parenting; there was not only a discord in their behavior but also in how we as parents responded to them. That in addition to the effects of  divorce and legal issues regarding custody and foundation as in home and change in living circumstan...

                                      Unconditional loves' definition is: To love somebody with no conditions or circumstances: to love completely. So many times in life we find that as human beings we don't truly practice this.  My fault (YES I have them) is that I am the  someone who only loves others HARD, giving of myself freely without any boundaries  sometimes portraying myself as extremely passive.    That is me being a “people pleaser” which means I'm not being unconditional or loving to myself first. Let me tell you, playing the martyr is not always rewarding or validating and only leaves you and the other person resentful. I am learning to work to recognize when doing what is best for me first might sometimes have me prioritizing my needs and desires above someone else's. This is a healthy part of defining who I am as an individual and crucial to me in...

div class="separator" style="clear: both;"> While I know Eve ate of the forbidden fruit first and convinced Adam to do the same; menstruation and childbirth wasn't enough so He allowed MENOPAUSE? I've pushed 3 children with big heads out into the world and have a tie to them that is EVERLASTING even in the ups and downs of life and even with that I still get to go through THIS? Hey 2023!! Recently America has witnessed another round of police brutality this time by the hands of 5 black men. I'm sad for many reasons. I'm sad that the world magnifies these crimes as FRONT NEWS when it's a black on black crime but when a man was murdered by white officers there was much cover up and the officers that were responsible were not charged until over a year later. The Memphis area sent out mass communications to dismiss work and school for the safety of the community and I was very angered by the media inciting violence. When George Floyd was killed b...
