Overcoming is Possible!
I still remember my first major habit or should I say addiction. Sucking my fingers! Anywhere I went, I could be seen with my fingers in my mouth. My mother had already moved past the stage where she had threatened, cajoled and expressed despair at this unhealthy habit but I didn’t care one bit. My […]
It Was Your Eyes
Lonely.All alone in a crowded world.Two orbs meet two.No words spoken,Conversation beholden,Crinkles greet,Face red heat.I’m lost and heldIn a momentI see,In a sea.A sea that was your eyes.
Not everyone is doing IT…
As I was getting ready for work this morning, the Bible story about Elisha complaining to God about him being the only one in Israel who haven’t bowed to Baal came to me. What resounded in my head was God’s reply. Yet I have left me seven thousand in Israel, all the knees which have […]
5K Run – A Lesson in Endurance
So, crazy me decided that instead of staying in my bed like a good little girl on a Sunday morning, I was up by 5:00 am and ready to do a 5K run at 6:15 am. I must say that I thought I would die especially since I chose to do the run instead of […]
Two Types of Men
I’ve heard people speak of waiting to find their Boaz. For those who don’t know what I am talking about… Boaz is the Prince Charming who basically took Ruth from the Bible out of poverty and before that, allowed her to collect the excess crop left behind in the field). It is almost like the […]
Male-Female Friendships
One of the theories that I’m positively tired of hearing is that females cannot have male friends without either party wanting to “do the tango” with the other. Well that’s a load of bull! I have two male friends who are my wingmen, my protectors, my trustees, my advisors, my psychologists, etc, etc all rolled […]
What Are You Willing to Do to Maintain Your self-respect?
For the first time in a while, I met a guy who I liked. He is intelligent and really kept me on my toes. He challenged me to think and was quick to offer suggestions on areas that are important to me. He is quite handsome. He is a go-getter who is always striving to […]
Tell Them Now
When I was in my late teens I attended the funeral of a woman who had just barely touched my life. What stayed with me was the way persons spoke about her! She had touched so many lives and done so much good. I decided then and there that I wanted to live my life […]
Respectfully, My Standards.
I found myself thinking about something that I realized has troubled me, especially over the last few years. This is something focused on my standards and respect for them. We all have relationships with various individuals. Whether they are friendships, intimate relations, family relations or business relationships, they still fall under the category of a […]
Date Night
So let me just spoil the surprise from now, YES I HAD FUN! Out of the blue, a friend who I haven’t seen in a couple years, since he migrated, called me. Much to my surprise, he was in Jamaica and wanted to take me out for my birthday (a week before my birthday). Now, […]
