MARRIED FOLK HAVE SEX TOO
01/31/2014 13:15
I am a married woman. I am just entering into my 40’s. I have a 20 year old step daughter, an 18 year old son, a step son in high school, and a three year old toddler (almost 4). I think my husband is the sexiest man on earth and I know that my sex appeal isn’t lost on him. ...
Caught in the Midst

Often times we miss small bits of blessings because we aren’t focused on living and breathing in the moments as they come to us. I’ve tried to be awake at all times as not to let life ease past me without me noticing. In doing so, I have been blessed enough to catch the midst of other...
He'll Never Apologize!
10/01/2013 16:20
I have been wondering lately if I’ve been waiting for my abuser to apologize to me. I have to consider that maybe this lack of closure is the reason why I still get so upset when I relive those moments. I notice that I have been very careful not to name him. I have to acknowledge...

ANNIVERSARY REFLECTION: The Children
When we were married, we took great intentional care in how we’d embrace our separate children. He, with a daughter and a son, and me with a son, we wanted to be a whole family. We agreed that we wanted to include the mothers of his children and the...
I Stand With You (Anniversary Reflection)

Carnie Wilson might have put it best: “My husband and I are best of friends first and foremost. We fight like cats and dogs, but never stay mad for long. I was lucky to find him. He is, in every way, my soul mate.”
As we prepare for our fourth year as man and wife, I can’t begin...
Grandma's Song

Nearing 90 years of life, she sat on the edge of her chair/bed starring into my daughter’s eyes as if there was some clue there as to who she was.
“Whose baby is that?”My grandmother asked my Aunt who took great pleasure in presenting Bralynn as a surprise while I stood in wait to make my...

Dear Life,
Greetings friend. It’s been a minute since we actually talked. I know you’ve been busy kicking up dust and running amuck. I’ve tried to keep up with you, but every time I think I have you cornered, you pull some sort of trickery. I must admit that you keep me at...
Queen's BET Awards Review - 2013
07/02/2013 08:41
I’m always a critic. It’s in my blood. Maybe because I’ve been criticized so much that I simply learned by default. A critic can access something from a place of balance. I haven’t always been balanced, but I’m learning how to do that. Last night’s BET awards gave me...
BLENDED FAMILIES TAKE WORK!
06/12/2013 11:37
Let’s be real! Blended families are hard. There are no easy answers and no one family dynamic is the same. My mother had five other children before she met my father. When he came into the picture my oldest brothers were nearly grown. However, there was a level of...
Dear Daddy

Daddy,
I’m writing to you today because we are in the middle of an election for Mayor of Jackson and I can’t help but think of you. I’ve been wondering for the last couple of months about what your thoughts would be about this election, about Jackson today. I can’t seem to come up with...
