Adulting: I Don’t Feel Like It
Addition, subtraction, steering, and makeup application… My morning drive is usually a test to see how well I can multi-task (don’t judge me), but now we’re adding math in the mix too, Chris? My brain crunched numbers trying to figure out how many miles on average I drive per day and week therefore configuring how…

Late, But On Time
A few things: I may have written something along the lines of this topic some years ago. You should keep reading anyway. I will probably get straight to the point today because I’m not sure how to stretch out these words nor do I wish to say more than I need to say. You should…

To the Women I Love…
I sat on the couch opposite my therapist staring at my wringing hands. “Two weeks ago made ten years since my mother died. Next week will make a year since my mother-in-law died. Some days I don’t feel that I’ve fully processed that,” I said. My eyes lifted to find her smiling brightly at me,…

Seasons End.
After months of being semi-ghosted or at least given the chilliest cold shoulder I’d ever endured, I sought understanding. What had I done? What did I need to apologize for, because I was willing. In place of an explanation, I heard, “Our season has ended.” | Seasons End. | I have had many relationships, both…

Nestled in the safety of my four-door sedan, parked outside of my home, I wept. A glance in the review mirror was only a metaphorical confirmation for what I felt internally: I wasn’t myself. Who was this woman staring back at me in the mirror? Whose life was I living? Whose body was it that…

Nah.
I’m feeling silly today… | Nah. | You ever look back a phase of your life and say to yourself, “Whew! I’m glad I’m over that?” I have had my fair share of What in the Blue Hell Was I thinking moments. I have made some of the worst mistakes in my almost 31 years. …

More Than One Way
Frustrated, I lowered my head and let a few tears stream down my cheeks. “This isn’t how I planned it,” I whispered as I considered how scrambled my plans had become. What was once a clear road to success seemed congested detours, and uncertainty made me question if I’d arrive at all… | More Than…

The Silent Treatment
I’m a believer. I’m a worship leader. I’m a low-key, unofficial counselor. Blah, blah, blah. I’m a human. Today, I am going to be honest even if it makes me look a little less spiritual. | The Silent Treatment | I recently saw a post on Facebook that read: “Ladies, which one are you… temper…

Keeping My Hands to Myself
I was having a really hard time. Why was I struggling while everyone else was okay…specifically the ones that I helped? It just didn’t seem fair that I was the one with the short end of the stick when it was my stick to begin with. | Keeping My Hands to Myself | Whatever you…
