My Admission of Guilt
My oh my oh my…having the courage to admit our flaws, when we’re wrong, when we don’t know, and that we messed up…oh the agony of forcing that confession out for others to hear and realize. Daggumit it can be a doozy to the tenth power, especially if you’re as stubborn as I am—or more.…

When Pride Gets in the Way
This morning I was moved to read and reflect on this scripture in the Bible: First pride, then the crash— the bigger the ego, the harder the fall. –Proverbs 16:18 MSG I then began to write the reflection below followed by a prayer, that you can read in its entirety by visiting my Breaking Bread…

Happy Birthday to my Sister
Happy 29th birthday to my amazing sister Alexandra. I’ve witnessed true growth over the years and seen as you transitioned from wild child to mother, boldly taking the responsibility of a mom with a warrior spirit. I’m extremely proud of you. I can’t believe you’re already 29. Jeesh it feels like not so long ago…

My Outlook For 2019
I’m going to focus on today, today. What can I do, see, and be today? That is my focus. If I have one foot in the past and one in the future, that means I’m straddling the present. If I’m straddling the present then all I can possibly do is take a dump on today…

Happy 7th Birthday Bishop Milo
Today my baby boy turned 7 years old. I remember the day I picked him up from the airport and I saw his huge paws. I remember the numerous training sessions that we attended together, and his graduation ceremonies each time he completed a course. I have so many fond memories of watching my baby…

My Birthday Reflection
Wow…wow…wow…I’m 43 years young (as of yesterday) and it’s amazing to make the attempt to process that. What does it mean, beyond the fact that this whipper snapper has only been on this planet for 43 years? I’m really not sure. I’ve been raising hell on some level since my head poked out of my…

Happy 94th Birthday Poppa
Today would be my maternal grandfather, Elisberry Stephens’, 94th birthday. Happy birthday Poppa! My grandfather is an amazing example, for me, of a person who was always a blessing to others. My grandfather taught through example what it meant to be hardworking, dependable, honorable, forgiving, grateful and gracious. He gave of himself every day in…

Just Finished Reading My Nineteenth Book This Year!
Wow. I’ve been on a roll this year. It’s July 17th and today I finished reading my nineteenth book so far for 2018. For most book worms this isn’t a big deal. But for those of us who are always “too busy” to read anything that doesn’t have something to do directly with work, what…

My Week of Fun, Friends, Sun, and Love
There’s something about getting away from the norm, from home, from the daily hustle and bustle. There’s also something about getting outdoors, absorbing vitamin D from sun rays, and taking in the sounds and sights of all sources not associated with a box-of-a-building. You can call it a vacation, a getaway, or whatever you want.…

Happy 65th Birthday Dad!
On July 3, 1953 my dad was brought into this world, most likely kicking and screaming. He was early—a preemie, and just as he fought to be in this world, he spent each day of his 48 years here, living boldly and trying to have a lasting impact. It’s awkward to say “happy 65th birthday…

Honoring My Dad This Father’s Day and Beyond
Today I sit in my home office. It’s Father’s Day. I won’t lie, I’m glad that I’m taking the summer off from using social media. Then I don’t have to see all of the posts and pictures that remind me of today and the upcoming holidays and celebrations. My morning started with the reality of…

Ride or Die Couples Are The Ones Who Last
I re-posted the picture (above) on my Instagram page on January 27, 2016. I saw it at @i_amrachelg This picture and what Rachel G had to say in her caption, speaks volumes about some of today’s relationships. Let me reflect on some things: When reading the words on the picture I can’t help but to…
