Responsibility Comes with Relationships!

On the first day of school in my sophomore year of high school, I entered my English class with a mix of arrogance and expectation. I’d heard different messages about my teacher, but I wasn’t a mere freshman anymore, so I believed I could handle whatever he dished out. We […]

Recently, we watched the social media celebration of ‘First Headshot Day.’ Mildly entertained at first by yet another ‘made up’ holiday, I soon became deeply interested. Seeing mega stars back when the only stars were the ones in their eyes spoke volumes. There’d been a moment in time they were […]

By my own assessment, my friendship skills were atrocious for years. As proof that God’s grace is a real thing, I have some great friends today. Some may use me as their guaranteed ticket into heaven because they stuck it out with me. But mostly, they get the benefit of […]

I’m never getting married again. Yep, I said it. When my first marriage ended, I said emphatically, “never again.” I wasn’t speaking in the heat of anger, but in the throes of raging despair. The whole situation turned me off marriage “forever.” (Sssh. Don’t tell my husband.) Be that size […]

I have never seen an episode of This Is Us. Hey, don’t judge me! I can explain. I tend to avoid shows, videos, and movies where people say, “Get the tissue.” That’s almost a guarantee that I’m going to scroll on by. However, I’m conflicted about This Is Us because, […]

I used to be a pretty good actress. Only, I worked for free…and few people knew I was acting. Do you remember the movie Face Off? In short, the good guy took on the bad guy’s face to enter his world to get information. But when the bad guy realized […]

Over the years, I wasted a lot of time. By the time I settled into taking the good with the bad and making a life out of what I had, I was already forty. That wasn’t a crime, I just wish I’d have been 30! Nevertheless, here I am. My […]

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 […]

Many of us celebrated Independence Day with family and friends with food, fun and at the end of the night…FIREWORKS. While we enjoy all the festivities, most would agree that the fireworks are the highlight. When I was younger, I was afraid to light firecrackers. I was pretty content with my little […]
