I mean, I was believing God for restoration and knew He had definitely presented the opportunities, but for more reasons than one, that just [...]

I absolutely hate being a single parent. Sort of! I know that may be strong words for some, but for me, it’s a reality. Especially because it was something I never intended to be or expected to experience. I mean each of my daughters birth were “planned” as much as two parents can plan and [...]

Yep, it’s been a while. Nevertheless here’s an interesting and enlightening post. I wrote this poem back on November 22, 2009 and really had no intentions of posting it here.

I was watching TV one day during my “me time” and stumbled upon “Let’s Talk About, Pep” the VH-1 reality show featuring Sandra “Pepa” Denton of Salt-n-Pepa fame. Last I hear and saw, “Salt” Cheryl (James) Wray is actually a born-again Christian, who’s preparing for her first gospel album. Pep, on the other hand is [...]

I’ve barely been divorced for a year and find the depth of this human experience, quite amazing. You just never really know what random occurrence may stir up unexplainable emotions or evidence that hidden residue still exists.

I love days like today. Today my 5 year old had her class’s “Open House”. She was so excited about going that it seemed like every 2 minutes she was trying to count me down, until it was really time to go. Which as you can imagine, took forever, in her mind. During the open [...]

As I sat home today spending some time outside with my girls enjoying the Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday, I was talking to another single mom about typical things. Kids, work etc … Our girls go to the same schools and play with each other, when time and lifestyles permit. As we were sharing about [...]
