As the Lenten Season progresses, I continue to focus on my Lenten Penitence. I find it somewhat difficult, however, because humans are difficult. With the pandemic finally coming to an end, inflation, the turmoil many have been through, and what is clearly a mental health crisis that we are now in, there are a lotContinue reading “Your personality…Is it a trait or a disorder?”

It’s amazing how quickly life passes by. We simply live our daily lives, going through the same routines. Oftentimes, many of us aren’t even putting any major thought into what we are doing, moving about on autopilot. We look up, and before we know it, it’s March 6, 2022. Already it is the first SundayContinue reading “It’s all a part of the process”

My posts are never for likes or attention. If no one ever knows who I am, that is ok too. My purpose is transparency; simply to let SOMEONE out there know that there are a few genuine people out here. Some who love, care, and give from the heart and without cost….to let you knowContinue reading “I keep it real because I care”

Can you believe it? Today is Ash Wednesday. I didn’t even get my pancakes yesterday. I forgot. I think I heard the IHOP commercial a few times over the last couple of days. I can remember in past years when the commercial would be aired at least one hundred times the week before Lent began.Continue reading “Don’t give in…GIVE IT UP”

Finally, I can exhale! On February 19, 2022 @ 5:34pm, Coleman Porter Bailey finally decided to make his debut. Weighing 6 lbs, 5 oz, mother and baby are well. I realized that I didn’t ask for prayers for the dad or to state that he too, is well. That is important. Fathers who are active,Continue reading “Embrace what awaits!”

We are eight weeks into the year, and still, so many fail to see the BIG PICTURE, what REALLY matters. That is, love, kindness, loyalty, faithfulness, gentleness and selflessness. With the world issues, it appears too many are focused on all things but these. There have been forty-nine murders in the city. On average, atContinue reading “Life is fragile, so is the mind”

When I started a family back in 1998, my vision was to raise five God-fearing, responsible citizens with the assistance of my husband. I envisioned that they would marry and raise families of their own, and we would all celebrate and love on one another forever. Our plans are not always God’s plan. As IContinue reading “Trust God’s plan”

It’s February 15, 2022, secularly known as SIDE PIECE DAY! Personally, I’ve never experienced it until now, but how in the world anyone could ever knowingly accept this type of behavior from anyone is beyond me. I add, however; there is no judgement from me. Everyone must do what makes them complete, I GUESS. SoContinue reading “Sis, show him your worth Bruh, increase her value”

It’s 2am on Valentine’s Day 2022, and I am at a crossroads. All weekend I’ve been battling a severe case of depression. I’ve used my coping SKILLS, not mechanisms (they are different). I’ve noticed that I’ve fallen; not as deeply as I have in the past, yet fallen, nonetheless. What has been my trigger? WhatContinue reading “Love 24/7 365 Days Per Year”
