    Restoration Threads — What NOT to do for opening activities (a lesson in equity/inclusion)

    Restoration Threads — What NOT to do for opening activities (a lesson in equity/inclusion)

    As teachers start the school year, I want to just share this reminder that popped up in my feed. Restoration Threads (a now closed nonprofit—visit their still open instagram) serviced foster kids. This post was very much an excellent eye opening moment for teachers to remember that not all kids are in a happy place, […]

    What Do I Mean I Say, “Real Time Change“? Glad you asked!

    What Do I Mean I Say, “Real Time Change“? Glad you asked!

    Ummm. So. This is a thing I have been turning over in my own mind and coming back to. Not really studying but when asked what are things that my generation struggle with, I had a list of things that aren’t really struggles because we don’t see them as wrong—LIKE sex before marriage, or shacking, […]

    I miss you, All is well

    I miss you, All is well

    Here is a poem I repurposed for my husband’s obituary. They had put a general poem in there that I ain’t like, and I was like gimme me a minute. I went through years of half finished, written but unedited, completed but unpublished l, published but not quite right poems until I came to this […]

    The Wife That William Built

    The Wife That William Built

    I’m so many days into a sorrow unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. Tears burst forth out of nowhere, rage nipping at my heels like an hungry hyena waiting for me to stumble into a briar patch of wrath. Hands shaky and idle all at once, my body jerking forward to complete tasks that my mind […]

    The Cheese Stands Alone

    The Cheese Stands Alone

    When I was little, I used to sing this nursery rhyme called “The farmer in the dell”. In the song, everything gets taken by the thing that came before it…until you get to the end. At the end, we sang: “The cheese stands alone.” The mouse took the cheese, but there’s nothing for the cheese […]

    Early Morning Stress Stream

    Early Morning Stress Stream

    I’ve been writing almost every day to give my mind something to do. I’ve spent the last 5-6 years working on my emotional intelligence, recognizing (or rather having friends and mentors alike point out) that I do not engage my emotions as a normal person of my age should. I’m real good at shoving things […]

    Love never fails. That’s it. That’s the prophetic word for the day.

    Love never fails. That’s it. That’s the prophetic word for the day.

    Man. Y’all tired of reading yet? I have never been one to sit around and tell folks what the Lord SAID; the Lord don’t talk to me like Hw be talking to some of y’all. 🤷🏾‍♀️ I’m still working on the obedience part, still working on being slow to speak, still working on not by […]

    Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #107

    Like that’s it. That’s the post for today. I have so many emotions. And I miss my husband. And life marches on. On a pretty yet cold Friday.

    Grief Exhaustion

    Grief Exhaustion

    One of the things we don’t talk about enough publicly, regularly, is the physical taxation of grief. And no, I’m not talking about my emotions or the exhaustion from crying or whatever. My body is literally tired. My muscles are sore, and I feel like I should be taking an NSAID or something. It hurts […]
