I used to dislike my name. It took years to get over having several people besides me answer to the call: “Lisa.” Unfortunately, I didn’t have the chic option of going by my middle name. To me, it’s hideous. I understand my mother’s reasoning, but it doesn’t redeem the name […]

Several of my friends forgot my birthday last week. And it wasn’t completely their fault. A couple others had no idea what to get me, or what I’d like to do. Wasn’t their fault either. Long ago, I adopted an unhealthy stance and many times people adapted to my bad […]

Since moving to Florida, I’m exposed to species of critters I didn’t care to know existed. Think you’ve seen mosquitoes? Florida mosquitoes are on another level. There are turtles that can fit in the palm of my hand, to those bigger than I could’ve imagined. I also consider the […]

In the Bible, David had other battles aside from the major one with Goliath that we all know well. David was a warrior, but a major part of his lifestyle was seeking God, which is why he was known as a man after God’s heart. In one instance in 1 Samuel 30, David’s […]

Many of us celebrated Independence Day with family and friends with food, fun and at the end of the night…FIREWORKS.
