It is Time I Stop Watching and Start Doing – Again; Another Late Night Confession

March 5, 2018

For the past few weeks I haven’t spent much time on social media or my blog. The reason for my absence is both good and bad. I’ve been spending more time interacting with people face-to-face rather than virtually, which is a good thing. However, the other reason for my lapse in social media activities isn’t… Read More It is Time I Stop Watching and Start Doing – Again; Another Late Night Confession

Should I Be Eating Chips and Guacamole Right Now?: A Late Night Confession

February 25, 2018

Dear Diary, It is 10:32 pm Sunday, January 8, 2018 and I am eating chips and guacamole. In my defense, I can’t sleep when my belly wants food. I realize this is a horrible excuse because I need to be asleep – especially considering I haven’t been at work since the last Friday in December.… Read More Should I Be Eating Chips and Guacamole Right Now?: A Late Night Confession

What if We Stop Allowing Others to Define Us and Start Defining Ourselves?

January 4, 2018

The above question came to my mind about two months ago. I’m not sure what I was doing at the time that caused it to surface, however I think it would be fair to say the thought derived from the knowledge of discontent with certain labels within our society. There are a lot of people… Read More What if We Stop Allowing Others to Define Us and Start Defining Ourselves?

I’ve Heard the Phrase, “Why be Eye Candy When You Can be Soul Food?” But, Who Said You Can’t be Both?

January 1, 2018

Some time ago I saw a message on social media that read, “Why be eye candy when you can be soul food?” I realize this is a rhetorical question, but I still think it deserves a good challenge. To me, soul food is substance prepared with love, to provide nourishment, comfort, and strength to endure. My definition of… Read More I’ve Heard the Phrase, “Why be Eye Candy When You Can be Soul Food?” But, Who Said You Can’t be Both?

December 26, 2017

Dear Diary, Today is December 26, 2017 and I am in complete awe over how fast this year has gone by. I can recall the days of my youth when I felt like time moved so slowly.

If Not Now…When?

December 18, 2017

My father asked the above question several years ago while he was delivering an “exhortation” – as he calls it, at church. He and I revisited the subject yesterday when I shared my “List of 20 things to do.” It is my desire to redeem the time, I’ve wasted entirely too much of this precious… Read More If Not Now…When?

I Need to Start Living, so I Created a List of 20 Things to Do

December 4, 2017

Several years ago a coworker suggested I watch “Elizabethtown”, which is an American romantic comedy written and directed by Cameron Crowe, starring Orlando Bloom (Drew Baylor), Kirsten Dunst (Claire Colburn), and Susan Sarandon (Hollie Baylor). It didn’t get raving reviews, but I adore it. In the beginning of the movie, Drew gets fired and dumped… Read More I Need to Start Living, so I Created a List of 20 Things to Do

Are You Fearing the Tag? The Importance of Well-fitting Clothing

November 27, 2017

Several years ago my boyfriend at the time asked for my dress size. He was planning to purchase clothes as a birthday present for me. I told him I wore a size 12, but I actually wore a size 14. Back then I feared the tag. In retrospect, my actions were utterly ridiculous. What is… Read More Are You Fearing the Tag? The Importance of Well-fitting Clothing

Not Caring if People Don’t Like me Doesn’t Make me a Bad Person; Changing so They Will Does

November 13, 2017

Finding inspiration for this week’s post was a bit difficult. I admit that when I first started this blogging thing I had fears of running out of things to write about. Each time I post something I hope it is found interesting and well written. But, what I desire most is for someone to be encouraged… Read More Not Caring if People Don’t Like me Doesn’t Make me a Bad Person; Changing so They Will Does
