Pray for one another
A few days ago I saw my neighbor as we were both walking to our children’s school. I asked how she was doing. Her English is very limited, so she told me that she was ok, however her husband was in Turkey. As someone who loves to travel, I exclaimed ‘good for him’. As best […]
The fragility of life
Today, I turn 40! It’s an incredible feeling as I think of my life and all that has transpired in the last few years, but most visible to me, the last year, to get me to where I am. As a result, I’m both grateful and humbled. But just within this week, I have been […]
Entertaining Angels Unaware
This year for my big birthday, I decided to do a big trip. As I love traveling and have been to many places in the Caribbean, I decided this trip should be a little different. I decided on a trip to Europe. If you know me and directions, I’m excellent at getting to my ‘almost […]
Divine Protection
This week I was in a near accident. I left the house to take my daughter to camp. I got caught by the red light and stopped, not realizing that the tractor trailer ahead of me was not moving because he was stuck. When the light changed to red, he started using the opportunity to […]

Have you ever had that sense that you should or shouldn’t do something? As I was having lunch in my office, I finished eating and decided for ease, to put the plate on the ground next to me. The contents held the green grease of the vegetables I had been eating. I instantly saw in […]
What is your life jacket?
My daughter and I love the water. I started her in swimming lessons earlier in the year because I’m a big believer in water safety and teaching kids to swim at an early age. My mom had done the same for me. On a recent trip, a few months after her swimming classes had started, […]
Meaningless!
I’ve been trying to revamp my quiet time. I felt as if it had become more of a routine than me actually being an active participant. One of the ways I did this, was I purchased a journal that had been specific to the season I was in. It shared a verse, encouraged you to […]
My rose bush
When I moved into this new home, I started planting. It was something that I never had any interest in before – but seemed like a good idea in my new life. My dad brought over two Rose plants. They both looked like some sticks with thorns – nothing else. A few months later, one […]
Better in the deep
To celebrate America’s 4th of July, my family and friends chose a beach morning. When we got there, the waters were relatively calm, but as the sun was not fully out yet, the water was freezing. We walked about a mile on the shoreline, both for the exercise and the fun of it. By late […]
