Anticipating grief
There is a particular kind of grief that comes with loving someone who is still here. A grief that begins long before goodbye. A grief that sits beside you at dinner, rides with you in the car, and sleeps in the next room. Because terminal illness doesn’t just take a life.It slowly changes it.And those who love them bear witness to every loss along the way. My sister is still here. But…
The Weight of the Hold
It’s the disrespect of the timing, the way it ignores the “all clear” we celebrated in November. It didn’t just knock; it broke down the door, bringing its uninvited chaos into rooms where we were finally starting to breathe again. So now, the air sits heavy in my lungs, a jagged stone I’m forced to carry while I play the roles: the worker, the parent, the nurse-sister , the encourager, the…
Why ask why?
We’re taught not to question the Almighty. To accept. To bow our heads. To trust without trembling. But if He knows my heart… if He knows my thoughts before they ever form on my tongue… doesn’t He already know my questions too? I find it impossible, as a human wrapped in human emotions, not to ask why when bad things happen to good people. And yes, I understand that “good” can be debated. None…
Heal What You Keep Hiding
Becoming is not loud. It is slow. It is sacred. It is honest. Many of us are navigating our way through becoming… but we have not yet told ourselves the whole truth. Becoming requires work. The kind that asks you to sit with your thoughts. To trace your patterns back to their origin. To gently question what you were taught about love, worth, survival. It asks you to uncover the hidden…
Honor Time: A Call to Intentional Living
Time is one of the most precious gifts we have—and yet, it’s often the one we take for granted. We get caught up in the grind: working endlessly, chasing material things, and letting days slip by without truly connecting with the people who matter most. What Really Matters Life isn’t about possessions. It’s about presence. It’s about being intentional with our friends, our loved ones, and…
Navigating the Digital Noise: How to Protect Your Peace
In today’s hyper-connected world, we’re constantly bombarded with information. From social media feeds to 24/7 news cycles, everything is shared in real-time, often without a filter. While this connectivity has its benefits, it can also lead to a constant state of sensory overload, taking a heavy toll on our mental health. It’s okay—and essential—to step back and unplug to protect your peace and…
Every Day: A Gift Wrapped in Gratitude
Every single day is a precious gift. It’s so easy to get caught up in the hustle and bustle, the to-do lists, and the endless stream of notifications. We often rush through our mornings, power through our afternoons, and collapse into our evenings, barely noticing the moments that make up our lives. But when we take a moment to truly appreciate the present, everything shifts. Think about it:…
The Unseen Ripple Effect of Authenticity
You never know who you may be inspiring or encouraging to tap back into latent or new talents just by being you. Sometimes we forget that people may not always speak on how you inspire them, but yet they are, and it helps them to smile more or be their authentic selves. Today, a former schoolmate expressed how my return to blogging inspired her. I was truly shocked because I was impressed with…
The Unfinished Business of July 4th
As we approach July 4th, it’s crucial to acknowledge that this day resonates differently for many. For people of color, the celebration of American independence can be a poignant reminder of a time when the freedoms declared in 1776 were not extended to all. Our nation’s history is undeniably complex, and the ongoing journey toward true equality and freedom feels particularly precarious under the…
What If Tomorrow Never Comes
Don’t Wait Until Retirement to Enjoy the Fruits of Your Labor Retirement is often seen as the golden period of life, a time when we can finally relax and enjoy the fruits of our labor. However, waiting until retirement to celebrate yourself and enjoy life can be a risky gamble. Once you retire, you have more days behind you than ahead of you, and the reality is that tomorrow may never come. It’s…

Embrace Your Inner Queen: A Journey to Self-Worth and Empowerment
I speak from the perspective of a woman, for that is who I am. As women, we sometimes accept preconceived notions and convince ourselves that these notions serve us well. For instance, when faced with men who habitually cheat—there is a stark difference between a man who deceives and betrays, and one who honestly expresses his desire not to be monogamous. The truth may hurt, but it remains the…
The Subtle Art of Not Being the One
In every family or relationship, whether personal or professional, there’s always the ONE. The go-to person, the dependable, responsible one who gets the job done and makes things happen. This is the person everyone turns to when times get tough, the Strong ONE who shoulders all burdens and still comes out on top. People cast their troubles upon the most capable shoulders, and the ONE dutifully…
Embrace Your Own Truth
Life often feels less like a smooth path and more like a winding, sometimes treacherous, journey. We’ve all been there—stumbling, our vision blurred by past hurts and present uncertainties. It’s easy to get knocked off course, to let our dreams gather dust, and to lose focus in the face of what feels like “foolishness and hocus pocus.” My poem, “My own truth,” beautifully captures this…
Your Race, Your Rules: The Power and Freedom of Reinventing Yourself
Feeling a little overshadowed by the hustle of younger generations? In today’s fast-paced world of startups and side hustles, it’s easy for those of us over 40, who are just hitting our stride, to feel a flicker of doubt. It might seem like younger entrepreneurs have already reached their peak while you’re still climbing. But here’s the truth: your journey is uniquely yours, and your wisdom is…

Know your worth
If only I could
Who would you like to talk to soon? The prompt who would you like to talk to soon, almost immediately placed me in my feelings. Mostly because several of the key people I would love to be able to talk to are no longer alive. Namely, my mother, older sister and 3 of my dearest and best friends. If only I could pick up the phone and discuss life with them. My mom would be asking me what meal I’d…

Clarity. Action. Success.
There’s this misconception that adulthood miraculously brings clarity into your life and the reality is clarity can come at anytime. There are a whole lot of adults that are still struggling to find their “way in life.” And that’s ok. There is no magical switch that can be flipped and voila’ your life is all planned and set. It takes work, time and commitment to see the results you want.…
