Perfect Imperfection Although I’m embarrassed to say I never knew You would have such a spot in my heart when we met. And just like us, our meetings, they got so complex. Convinced that our worlds were so different I resolved myself to the thought, “We would never be.” Because of my inflexible and stubborn ways most of what I felt I never expressed. And I know you clearly have two sides. So here is what I never said But always felt. Continue reading Perfect Imperfection

Everyone has them… As much as I have found my level of peace; I am human. There are certain things that no matter what I do, either rub me the wrong way or triggers that “C’mon Son,” thought in my head. No, I’m not talking about the normal pet peeves; rude people, inconsiderate smokers, bad drivers, or those dreadful movie talkers. I’m talking about those things that may only have an impact on that very moment, but until it happens again, you totally forget how much that annoys you. You know, like carrying a large number grocery bags in both … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesday: Everyone Has Them
E m p t y Was all I felt. I focused on my success. That’s it. I needed a better job. Now I could impress the best of them with my resume. But would give it all up To feel set free. So I changed my focus to my home Maybe if I owned my own. That would help I just knew it would… Yet I came home and I still felt alone Longing, each day seemed so lonely. All these people around me. Each one telling me they know what’s best. I was being pulled in so … Continue reading Empty

I was thinking the other day about decisions we make in our life. Some of us live out our life on television allowing everyone in on their process toward a big decision. I mean last summer most of the world watched as LeBron James played out his “Decision.” Yet to me, decisions are personal. We go back and forth weighing the pros and cons in our mind and then in most cases we decide. This brings me to a decision that I believe women experience in some way or another, “Will I have children?” Yes believe it or not, it … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesday: Does that make me less of a Woman

On a good day some would call me an extrovert; I truly do have strong opinions on almost every topic. I guess it comes from researching and reading a lot. I will not claim to know it all by far but I’m an information junkie. So when I hear things and they don’t make sense to me or are emotion driven…I don’t get offended nor do I argue any longer; I’ve outgrown that reaction. Plus, now I have this blog to express my opinions and give others a chance to question theirs. We have “Old Skool Thursdays” and now I … Continue reading Soapbox Wednesdays: Get Out My Way Woman….I Got People to Prove Wrong!!
Old Skool Thursday- Black Music Month Anyone that has been to my home can tell you I love music. When you enter the living room of my home the first thing most music lovers notice is my record player and vinyl collection. I have a small collection compared to some, but to me it’s just right. Plus if Jamie and I continue our runs to Princeton Music Exchange it’s sure to keep growing. Let me add I listen to a number of different genres of music; Soul, Jazz, Hip hop, Folk, Gospel and more. Most, if not all these genres … Continue reading Old Skool Thursday- Black Music Month
A few years back I truly learned the power of Faith and Prayer. I watched as my sister’s life was proclaimed over by man more than once or twice in a short time span (I’ll save this full testimony for another time). Never once did I believe their report even when love ones, friends or doctors tried to prepare me for what “may” happen. They meant no harm, they just didn’t want to see me hurt. Faith in God’s word is what I stood on. My role was simple and I played it well; thank God, I maintain my sister is healed. And I would play … Continue reading My Role of Aaron
