This is me being transparent (again). I’m not sure if anyone else feels this way- if you fight against the same feelings that I wrestle with. As I reflect back on the events around the world in the last month, my heart sinks. Dallas, Nice, Germany, Japan to name a few. As I plan events
Are there co-workers or people that you are around that seem to know what buttons to push? Comments they make or ideas they come up with just seem to get under your skin and seem to fire you up. What about with our politically charged environment now? You would have to have your television unplugged
Got to love the summer, right? Heat. Humidity. Perspiration. And then, you step into a cool shower. Simply refreshing, isn’t it? That’s exactly how I feel about friendship. For my 40th birthday, I was able to celebrate it with the special ladies God placed in my life in the eleven years I’ve lived in Texas.

An elderly lady walked up to the pharmacy counter and spoke softly to our clerk, “Could YOU help me?…I’d rather HER not…HER kind of people are dirty.” I was the ‘HER’ she was referring to, standing at a distance behind the counter. Aside from being called ‘Comanche’ by a middle school bully, this was my
This has been a harrowing week in my city. Until now, I was a by-stander, watching these events unfold in various parts of America.
