It turns out that the first Thursday in May is recognized as National Day of Prayer*, and it got me thinking about my personal relationship with prayer. What feels like another lifetime ago, I wrote a blog post about my inconsistent faith journey in general (you can find that post here), so my complicated relationship… Continue reading A Convoluted Musing about Prayer
It's been a little over a year since I started this little blog project of mine, and about 9 months since I submitted my resignation to the school district I taught in, with the intention of discovering more about myself, whom I feel called to serve, and in what capacity. Over the course of that… Continue reading Under Construction
I'll start with the apology. One month ago, I made a commitment to share information on my Facebook page about a Black change maker each day in February in honor of Black History month. Like so many other things in my life, I started strong and made sure to highlight a new person or resource… Continue reading Wrapping up February and an apology
Gosh it's easy to get knocked off track. Today is Friday, and here in Texas, it's the first normal feeling day I have personally had all week thanks to the winter weather we had starting last weekend. That's actually not true - the winter weather had very little to do with the absolute standstill we… Continue reading Processing… (alternately titled “A mini autobiography leading up to my current existential crisis”)
Ok, so I'm not a particularly huge fan of country music, but who doesn't love a little Martina? Yesterday, we witnessed the Inauguration of the 46th President of the United States and the 49th Vice President, and I am not the first to point out that the day was all about the women. I don't… Continue reading This one’s for the girls
Type furiously, select all, delete, type furiously, select all, delete, type somewhat more slowly and contemplatively, re-read, overthink, worry what the reader will think/that I haven't made my point clear, select all, delete, delete draft. These are steps I often go through with any blog post, but the ones that I have strong feelings about… Continue reading This one might make you a little uncomfortable… It did me
It’s New Year’s Day, and this year is a weird one. There are plenty of posts out there that will break down in detail what a mess 2020 was (and don’t get me wrong, it was), but this is not that post. There are also many posts talking about finding the blessings amidst the destruction… Continue reading There are no resolutions here
In the months since I resigned from my teaching position to "discover how I am meant to serve," and write a book, I have done exactly zero in the area of writing. Actually, that's not entirely true - I have journaled a bit, but nothing coherent, and definitely not anything I would want to include… Continue reading It’s Time to Just Start Writing the Damn Book Already
When first I abandoned this site, it was but a wee baby blog with a few scratch the surface posts and a handful of views. Shortly after the world went crazy in March, I put the whole thing (and most everything else in life that wasn't essential for pure survival) aside and went on full… Continue reading A Brief Recap as We Prepare to Move Forward
I have done this site a huge disservice. There are no fewer than 4 posts in draft form that will likely never see the light of day. I've recently been reflecting on what I want my site to be, and while I still want this to be a place focused on social justice and personal… Continue reading Coming Soon…
