The Honesty of Almost
My daughter is 17 today. She got her drivers license (the real one with the REAL ID), her first sew in hair style (she had a whole issue cuz she swore the curls were old lady curls— GEN Z), and is currently driving us to Memphis. Meanwhile. My husband is nearly shitting bricks because she […]

Kindness, Clarity, and Encouragement – #67
My grandma once told me can’t nobody tell who’s the fool if you both talking. 🤷🏾♀️ You cannot reason with unreasonable people.

You’re looking at a miracle when you’re looking at me.
So listen. If you say you ain’t seen miracles before, you haven’t been paying attention to me. Everything in my life is a complete miracle–stupidly amazing. Everything.

Self Love
A theme I’ve been contemplating—or rather one that has arrested me—is the notion of self. How we conflate our self with our flesh…to concepts quite related yet very much different. The soul has an option, to do what it wills to do and follow the flesh; or, to do as God wills it to do […]
