There’s a film crew behind my house! They are filming the movie Loving. Richard and Mildred Loving, were a white husband and black wife who fought the system in the 1967 to legalize interracial marriage. It is exciting that such an important story is being remembered once again right in my backyard! They brought in…
Life Advice from The Ambassador to Uganda and A Hotel Manager Turned Happy Wife
“If you could only choose eight people to be around your death bed, who would they be?” -Bob Goff I listened to a few more sessions from the Influence and Impact Summit this week. I am kicking myself for not making time for all of them. Instead I chose to watch Gambit (aka the worst…
Guard-rails, bumpers, and airbags
I’m not good at being patient. I hate waiting rooms. Long lines make me die a little inside. Slow loading time on Facebook? Ain’t nobody got time for that. I want what I want when I want it. Now would be terrific. If you are an instant gratification junkie like I am, the following eight…
Come On In!
As I pray and wait to hear from God what career exactly I should be striving towards (I’m leaning towards professional mud wrestler), I have also been envisioning how I want to live my life, no matter what that looks like. Peace, welcome, and joy are the three words I really want to define my…

Jealousy, Hater-Aid, and You: A True Story
U-G-L-Y! You ain’t got no alibi! You ugly! Hey, hey, you ugly! I’m singing this song to myself. Well, to my inner self. Although, I do have a possible pinkeye situation going on so either way. Today I want to talk about something that plagues almost every woman I know. Jealousy. These are the thoughts…
Take Your Shirt Off!
I have a secret. I don’t always hop out of bed singing Praise and Worship songs. Sometimes all I want to do is pull the covers up over my head and sleep til Jesus returns. When I see people wearing those “Life is Good” t-shirts, I have a less than holy urge to challenge them….
Wanted
I found out yesterday why people say “banging on the door like the po-lice”. The cops are after me. Well, just one. I heard obnoxiously loud knocking at the door yesterday morning and opened it to find the Sheriff standing there. He mispronounced my name and handed me a summons to appear in court. The…
