I'm about to finally realize a dream I've held in my heart for the longest time. I'm starting a boutique. Eeek! Confession.. I have no idea what I'm doing. Sure I've done the research. I've looked at other people's stories and have seen how they've done it. Sure I have a plan and a couple …
This past weekend I hung out with a couple young entrepreneurs - by young I mean all were under 40, Black, with multi million dollar businesses. There's something about exposure, about being in a different environment and around different people that not only expands your perspective but increases your drive. The atmosphere was so charged …

I just felt led to speak on something very personal to me that I feel is on time for you as well. You've heard it a million times. I've blogged about it a couple of times as well. Dear God When? When will it be my turn? When will you come and do for me …

When God Redirects! It all started with some discontent. Ain't nothing like a lil holy discontent to mess up your life 🙂 . Allow me to take you back a bit. I quit college in 2006 because I was pregnant and single and I just couldn't manage the tragedy that was now my life. My …

I've been neglecting the blog. Although I'm sure no one really noticed. Word around journalism town is that blogging is on the decline. It's all about "the video" now they say: Facebook Live, Instagram Live, Persicope (maybe?) and YouTube. That may be so. Unfortunately, God gave me a desire and a passion to write and …
I went back into my past and planted a garden there - The memories were dead and dried. And all along the fields Where dreams laid scattered and buried, I gathered up their bones And prayed them back to life. In an old shed I found a rusty tin bucket of tears, Stored up …
Dear sweet broken-hearted girl, You are so smart and talented and brave. And above all else you are beautiful. You are a beautiful soul. No one has ever told you that. But if they did, you probably wouldn't accept it. You spend all your days avoiding mirrors just tearing yourself apart. Your not as petite, …
Remember.... This resurrection life you received from God is not a timid, grave-tending life. It’s adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike “What’s next, Papa?” God’s Spirit touches our spirits and confirms who we really are. We know who he is, and we know who we are: Father and children. And we know we are …
All my dreams went up in smoke today. Every prayer. Every tear. All the days waiting, crying out, fasting. Just up in ashes. All of it died a quiet death today. No thunder. No fanfare. No explosion. Just a quick, quiet death, with a simple, "no." I'd say I'm disappointed but I'm not. Or maybe it …
