Would you have stopped?
I try to be very candid with the lessons I’m learning and what I share. To be honest, this one is a hard one, but I want to share anyway. My mommy friend who I also take the train with text me mid afternoon to confirm what time train I would be on. I shared […]
A changing season
I love mangoes! Wait.. did I mention that I absolutely love mangoes? I was in Jamaica a month ago. It was the peak of mango season. The fruit was plentiful. Every tree was laden with ripe mangoes, and even mangoes lay fallen under the trees everywhere I went. Due to family reasons, I had to […]
Give Thanks
A few days ago I thanked God because someone was mean to me. Before you start wondering if I’ve lost it, let me explain. I’m an early riser, and I love to go to the beach. I went to the beach on my early morning excursion, expecting to pay my usual $10 for the parking […]
Our disappointments
I think I’ve gotten into a rhythm of posting a blog thought once per week, mainly on the weekend. As Friday approached, I realized I had not seen any lessons that would translate into a thought, and so I started praying for something. Saturday came. Nothing. Sunday came. Nothing.

Good news!
Hi Friends, I just wanted to share some news with you! I’ve been writing for a little over two years now (still seems hard to believe), not knowing what the next step would or should be – and I was ok with that. My only call had been to write devotions to share. I’m learning […]
The power of your tongue
I had the pleasure of traveling with my daughter. As we were sitting at the gate, we saw our plane approaching. She and I talked about the plane for a bit as we continued to watch the guy on the ground give the pilot directions using his red lights, and the positioning of the lights. […]
Slow down
I was away on the beautiful island of Jamaica, and we had the need to drive to the country from the town to take care of family matters. There are certain unspoken rules of island driving. And if you are driving too slowly, just make sure you’re slow enough to ensure the driver behind you […]
I see no train traffic
‘I see no train traffic’ were the words my daughter uttered as she was waiting not so patiently for the train to move. She has always loved riding the train and I had the pleasure of taking her into the city with me on my early morning commute. The Train had stopped and dropped off […]
