As the story is told (with my own twist), she left him and moved on to a new relationship and was thriving there. He didn’t like that, so he hatched a plan for her to come back “home”. If she didn’t do as he wanted, he had something more sinister in mind. In his questContinue reading “Are you “her” or “him” hiding in plain sight?!”

From Fear to Fair…
I don’t think anyone needs any special skill or gift to see what is happening, as this whole pandemic has truly highlighted how hardened we have become as individuals and as a larger society, in a way that I am not sure I can truly say that we have ever observed before. Maybe it isContinue reading “From Fear to Fair…”
Fixing the mental “Klunk Ku Klunk”
I am driving along minding my business and singing along to the sweet sounds of 90s R&B, when suddenly I heard it. Klunk ku klunk ku klunk. Dah heck?!! Why do I feel as if I am on the bumpiest road ever? Except, I am not! Immediately, I can tell this is not normal. AlthoughContinue reading “Fixing the mental “Klunk Ku Klunk””
REJECTION IS AS NECESSARY AS IT IS INEVITABLE!
I am STILL trying to figure out why the world is so cruel to women. The data presented on the World Health Organization website[1] is frightening and puts into perspective that violence against women is a global crisis, so much so that it is being referred to as “devastatingly pervasive”. The question that begs toContinue reading “REJECTION IS AS NECESSARY AS IT IS INEVITABLE!”
No, thanks! No deterrent.
“when your intentions are pure, you don’t lose anyone; they lose you” – Nipsey Hustle Have you ever ignored a gut feeling to extend a “helping hand”, for one reason or the other but didn’t; only to learn later that had you gone ahead with that push-to-do-something, it would have made a world of aContinue reading “No, thanks! No deterrent.”
Self…? CONTROL!!
Jesus loves little children…. Cows love to graze…. Dogs love bones…. Cats love tuna And…. I LOVE ice-cream! Ever since I read that article about Corona and Ice-cream several months ago (and wrote a blog about it), I have been very skeptical about indulging in one of my favourite pass time – eating ice-cream. Lately,Continue reading “Self…? CONTROL!!”
A SISTER KNOWS…!
It is interesting how 2 heavy days out of a 7-day week can infiltrate the experience of your entire week and let you feel like your entire week was bad. These are the lies we tell ourselves that we somehow believe! Luckily for me, a sister/friend checked in and offered a very timely reminder… WeContinue reading “A SISTER KNOWS…!”
Parenting and Trauma: the “Broken Repair”
I am certain some of what will be stated in this blog I would have already mentioned to some extent in previous blogs; either way, I think it prudent to those of us who are on this parenting/mothering/fostering/child-rearing journey to hear the experiences of those of us who are still learning as we go along,Continue reading “Parenting and Trauma: the “Broken Repair””
Carrying the burdens of 409[1]… it is a heavy time!
Disclaimer: I am a believer in God’s Grace and His mercy, so I exist in complete gratitude, generally. All of that is a given, so NONE of that which should occur in thankfulness is lost on me. The pandemic was declared on March 11, 2020. When it was first announced, everyone I know as wellContinue reading “Carrying the burdens of 409[1]… it is a heavy time!”
YOUR BEST MAY NOT BE THEIR ENOUGH, BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE GOOD ENOUGH!
I was recently placed in a situation that forced me to sit in that quiet space and truly introspect deeply. Within that time of quiet introspection, I remember something that someone had said to me prior that “the way we THINK people experience us is not always how they do” (and I’m paraphrasing). Even thoughContinue reading “YOUR BEST MAY NOT BE THEIR ENOUGH, BUT IT SHOULD ALWAYS BE GOOD ENOUGH!”
