It's so amazing when you can look back on the major events in your life and see where God has not necessarily answered your exact prayer, but gave you exactly what you needed. I wanted so desperately to have another boy. My son was so easy-going, mild-tempered, played happily by himself, ate whatever I put... Continue Reading →
I want some old school love… Original Poetry
I'm yearning for some old school love. That sweet love that kept you up on the phone all night. Not thinking of short verses for his Twitter page but long, drawn out sighs and movement from lips to thighs sweet nothings that fill your ear and make you want to disappear into the abyss of...

I don’t want to need you – Original Poetry 2012
Whenever we kiss I feel an electric shock that beats your hands to my thigh before I can moan "stop" So much energy between us that every touch of your skin next to mine Sends a chill up and down my spine And I can't deny that my body needs you too
This is the best time of your life
"I just wanted to tell you to enjoy this time in your life to the fullest because these are the best days of your life." These words really hit home for me because aside from me taking my own personal inventory, I often wonder what others see when they look at the past year of my life. What do my ancestors think of me? What compliments or constructive criticism would they offer? Do they even see what's going on, and if so what's their perspective? With all of their wisdom, what advice would they give me for the coming year?
Tis the Season…for Football!
My son's father didn't want him to play football, so I respected his wishes and didn't pursue it. Then one day my son wrote me a note that said "Mom, I love football and I really, really want to play football." I was so touched by his note and I knew that even though his father was against it, as a mother, I felt it was my duty to give life to his passions.
Joy in the Journey
I have to admit that I was never the type of Oprah fan that watched her show every day or even taped it or stayed up at night to see what it was unless a friend called and said "you have to see this!". I never tried to get on any of the Oprah's favorite... Continue Reading →
For My Girl Bev (found the poem!)

Tangled
It's been quite a while since I've sat down to write even though so many ideas have entered my mind since my last post. The summer is an insanely busy time for me and now that the kids are back in school and on a fairly normal schedule, I am able to take some time for myself.... Continue Reading →
Independence Day
I am committed to freeing my mind of the "I should have's", the "what-ifs" the "as soon as" and the "next year I'll start" - the words that keep my unlimited happiness chained up and my passion for life incarcerated. It's time to make my escape plan, gather my tools and start chipping away at the brick wall in my subconscious mind.
Planted firmly in the moment
My daughter insists on searching for the most colorful weed each day and brings me a bouquet of them - and I allow her. I smile and place them in a vase as if I just received a dozen roses because I know she is reminding me that every creation of God is special, no matter how it looks or what its put on this Earth to do.
