Recently, we've been studying about Nehemiah and the work he had to accomplish. He had a wall to rebuild. One that according to human eye, could not be reconstructed. However, Nehemiah trusted God and made up his mind to do what God called him to do. Connections have always been important to me. Though I've … Continue reading October 2nd: Connecting Nehemiah’s Story With Mine
I remember a wounded girl who didn't know her worth. One who was filled with anger because she was victimized and society said her circumstances would lead to destruction. I wipe her tears daily then straighten her up and fight for her and others like her. I fight for my daughter because even though her … Continue reading Dear Little Black Girl…
Recently, I've had to search deep into some areas of my life that I had been overlooking. They were the thoughts I commonly have yet I act as if they're not a problem. August can be a tough month for me. My sister, her best friend and friend's mom were killed in August. My grandfather … Continue reading Legacy of Faith: I Am Fighting For Mine 🥊🥊

The person shared that sometimes family doesn't share the same beliefs (which is true) and may even talk negatively about us for putting our foot down when it comes to our kids.

This week started pretty rocky. I received tough news, coached people and prayed through some tough moments and it's only Tuesday. My heart is heavy and I feel a little overwhelmed yet all is still well. I had to remind myself, life is short, make the most of it. Then I changed it and said, … Continue reading Life…
For years I coached my son's basketball team but recently transitioned to the sideline to focus on just being Mama & Team Mom. I thought I was ready yet I am finding the change...the transition much more difficult than I thought. My track record was pretty good as a coach so watching & having no … Continue reading Every Moment Matters: A Reflection on 2 Minutes
Two days ago I watched my friend lay her husband to rest. At our age, mid 40s, who's prepared to bury their husband? No one!

When I wrote the 1st blog about Divine Discomfort, I didn't realize that it was only the beginning of my discomfort. Lately, I have been under attack: my name and my character. You know, the kind of things that could potentially affect people's perception of who I am. I can remember sitting in my office … Continue reading Divine Discomfort, Pt. 2
