Never Settle
Too many women I know have stood or prayerfully waited for too long, thinking that they are doing the right thing, the good thing, even the God thing: NEVER SETTLE for anything less than extraordinary. If you are not in a relationship where EVERY DAY you feel loved, ADORED, cherished, and that it is made … Continue reading Never Settle
Miss Them, But Do Not Ache For Them
Every morning you wake up with someone you love, take a moment to be amazed they are there beside you, be grateful you are alive to bear witness to another day of living and loving another human, be fascinated by this person who was vulnerable enough to wake up beside you-- be it one night … Continue reading Miss Them, But Do Not Ache For Them
Don’t Ever Allow There To Be “The One” That Got Away
Don't ever allow there to be "the one that got away"; make that ONE, "the one that almost got away"... How do you know they are “THE ONE”? When you can no longer imagine your life without them. Then, move heaven and earth to be together. (And if you can imagine your life without them, … Continue reading Don’t Ever Allow There To Be “The One” That Got Away

I’d Rather Have My Pants on Fire
Who in their right mind wants to win the heart of a liar? I'd rather have my pants on fire. ~ Just L (Goddess Wisdom, November 7, 2018)
After Afore
11:11 am I step out of the shower Conscious not to slip on the tile I glance at the microwave 11:11, it blinks Make a wish If only I could go back to that grateful poem The one I wrote in January, I think I select a pink dry-fit dress Put my hair in a … Continue reading After Afore
Reflections on 1977
In 1977 (8th grade), I thought I was more brains than beauty, my limbs were too long, my nose was too big, my breasts were too small, my (23") waist wasn't small enough... Today, at age 55, I know that I had everything I needed. Just add a bigger smile. Embrace it all. Now. Do … Continue reading Reflections on 1977
