When Silence Is the Kindest Thing We Can Offer
There’s a delicate balance between empathy and honesty. A tension that rises when someone shares their trauma, heartbreak, or outrage—especially when, deep down, a part of us wants to say what we’re not supposed to say: “You didn’t see that coming?” “You voted for him/her.” “This is what you asked for.” “But they told you…

Better Late Than Never 😆
I can’t help but laugh. Have you ever repeated the same routine task for months—or even longer—and then had the idea to check if there’s a better, more effective, more efficient way? When you finally find a solution, it not only saves you time but also makes the process smoother. You might find yourself asking,…

What Does Gossip Say About Us?
I’m sitting here with a heavy heart and something popped in my mind that has allowed me to reflect on the act of gossip. Oxford Languages defines gossip as: casual or unconstrained conversation or reports about other people, typically involving details that are not confirmed as being true. “he became the subject of much local…

Are We Choosing Stress?
I saw this Eckhart Tolle quote two days ago and saved it. “Stress is caused by being ‘here’ but wanting to be ‘there’.” It’s okay to be in a blizzard (here) wishing you were in a calmer and warmer climate (there). It’s when we try to CONTROL our minds to think entirely or mostly of…

How Are You Honoring Dr. King and Your Legacy Today?
Seeing this quote from Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. reminded me of a conversation I had years ago with his youngest daughter, Dr. Bernice A. King. We were discussing different topics that her parents were passionate about and interested in pursuing before they passed. We discussed the holiday dedicated to her father’s birthday and legacy,…

A Message to Those of You With Parents
I know many of you read the title of this post and scratched your head. Yes, I know that the majority of us didn’t plop into this world by immaculate conception. Our parents got busy, handled their business, and roughly nine months later we made our debut. Today I want to talk about your parents…

If I Could Witness a Time in History… (Part 1)
Ooh this is something that I’ve pondered before, and most of us remember this exercise from elementary school. So, I will take a spin with it again. The first thing that comes to mind happens to be my 5x great grandparents on my mom’s side, and more specifically, her father’s family line (on his maternal…

Thought of the Day: Vulnerability
“Some people confuse over-sharing with vulnerability. Sharing all of the intimate details of your personal life is not vulnerability. It’s just over-sharing. You’re just being an attention hog…. Vulnerability is being able to identify and accept the truth about yourself, sharing this truth with others, with an understanding that you risk that information being used…

Thought of the Day: Serving Two Masters
If you’re doing God’s work on all of the religious days that you recognize, but doing the Devil’s work on all or most of the other days, then who are you truly worshiping and serving? God said that we can’t serve two masters, one we will will hate and the other we will love, or…

Thought of the Day: The Cycle of Abuse, Oppression, and Trauma
Reflecting over the days and years, looking to the research on abuse, the history of slavery and captor-captive relationships, and the enduring and devastating trauma. I want to share my thoughts… I believe that trauma can cause some people to celebrate when their abuser hands them trinkets and tokens of “reconciliation”. They don’t realize that…
