Before acting in judgement and condemnation of others, remember how much God has forgiven us.
Lovers whose affection for each other is doomed to end in tragedy—“star-crossed”—as William Shakespeare described Romeo and Juliet’s love for each other. What if they’d met in another time?
Simply—Know Yourself!
When I pray the objective isn’t to change God. For prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.
The week is long. The weekend is short. Midweek is a good point to recharge. Let’s get over the hump giving value to ourselves.
Why do you worry? Look at the wildflowers of the field and how they grow. They don’t work, they don’t make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his glory was not dressed as beautifully as they are. If God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, He will most certainly care for you. Don’t worry, have faith!
God is the unparalleled Poet. And of all that He’s created, humans are His workmanship, His masterpiece, His best poem.

My poem “Spark of Madness” is featured in the #1 Amazon bestselling anthology “Wounds I Healed: The Poetry of Strong Women”.
When I saw these beautiful wildflowers while walking through the park, I reflected on Jesus’ parallelism between God’s care for wild flowers and God’s care for us. Why do you worry? Look at the wildflowers of the field and how they grow. They don’t work, they don’t make their clothing, yet Solomon in all his …

I was helping my nephew with his assignment, when I saw a pensive expression that was far too intense to be just about his school work.“What’s up with that look?” I asked. With deep sincerity he responded with his own question: “Why are you helping me?” And he wasn’t satisfied with “… because you’re my …

Having a heart like God’s heart does not mean that a person will make no mistakes. Rather, you will respond differently when confronted with your mistakes—with humility and repentance.

It’s a tale in parallelism of two daughters: the dying 12 year-old daughter, beloved of her father and a woman rejected, including by her own father, losing her life source each day for 12 years. For as long as the little girl has been alive, this woman has been slowly dying.
The joy flowers bring!
Before-word: To celebrate my birthMONTH I declared an affirmation for each day. At the end of the month I conclude with the affirmation to self-love, because you must first love yourself in order to love anyone else. This emanates from the ultimate love—the love of and for God. This was the April I affirm to …

The moment I came to the realization that I will never be able to fully understand or describe God, and thankfully so because if I could then He would cease to be God, this poem was born as a tribute to God for who and what He is—the “I Am”.
Spring is taking a little longer to manifest herself fully which is perfectly ok as we’re having a longer time to enjoy her blooms.
What the Most High intends to bless you with, you will receive because not only does He shut doors, He opens doors too! Happy birthMONTH to me!
I choose to live in gratitude. I pause to notice and appreciate the things that often get taken for granted like a place I call home, food and water, family and friends, a job.
Today I just wanna thank the Most High for each gift He’s blessed me with. Happy birthMONTH to me!!
Self-care—caring for your mind, body and spirit—is not a luxury nor is it selfish. Self-care is a necessity. Happy birthMONTH to me!
When based on my hopes and not my fears, my choices will create room for me. Room for exploration, growth, learning and overall self-development. Happy birthMONTH to me!
I WON’T FORGET TO REMEMBER: I am enough. I have enough of what I need to be the exceptional me. I am enough—just as I am! Happy birthMONTH to me!
I can’t receive the now when I hold on to the old. Surrender to let God work. Happy birthMONTH to me.
Today I affirm to live fully, thriving not just surviving
The week is long. The weekend is short. Midweek is a good point to recharge. Let’s get over the hump LIVING between inhales and exhales.
Happy birthMONTH to me!
I affirm to release myself from what is done for it cannot be undone.
