I can’t speak for anyone else, but I know I suffer from anxiety and, in extreme cases, panic attacks. For the record, there is no shame in acknowledging that. In fact, I’d venture to say, there is so much more right with it than what you think is wrong with it. Let me share somethingContinue reading “Anxiety”

What is Your Emotional Comfort?
I woke up Sunday feeling tired but restless. I climbed out of bed, eventually to start my day. I went downstairs and made something to eat and exchanged words with my oldest son about not doing some things I had asked of him. I often find myself overcome with emotions whenever I get into conflictContinue reading “What is Your Emotional Comfort?”
Dear Momma
Today I celebrate your life and mourn your death. This time two years ago, I remember getting the call that said you had peacefully passed away. I remember listening to the voicemail and feeling this overwhelming numbness. I couldn’t sit still because I would have to feel that pain. Instead, I went about finishing myContinue reading “Dear Momma”
What If God Needed Me
What if God needed me to be the vessel, I could not see myself being with the natural eye? What if my feelings of hopelessness weren’t meant for me to feel defeated but to be enlightened? I often question God as to my purpose and always welcome Him to use me as a vessel. But,Continue reading “What If God Needed Me”
The Importance of “Presence and Touch”
I thought I’d take a moment to stop and talk about how important it is to have a “presence and touch.” Many times we go about our day, and we take for granted our interactions with others. It’s just another day, another hug, another kiss, another look into someone’s eyes until it isn’t. I amContinue reading “The Importance of “Presence and Touch””
What Happens When You Psych Yourself Out?
I’m glad you asked that question because I have firsthand knowledge of the answer. I spend a great deal of time making myself physically sick by psyching myself out of things that haven’t even taken place yet. On the day of my launch, I was ready to call it quits. I told myself every reasonContinue reading “What Happens When You Psych Yourself Out?”
Real Quick
I thought I’d come on to speak on how life’s been for me since this pandemic. Let me start off by saying, “I am safe, thank God.” Not all clinical workers, laymen, and others on the frontlines can say that. Everywhere now has a real risk for exposure, but at my healthcare center, we’ve managedContinue reading “Real Quick”
Mass Hysteria
While the world is scurrying about trying to deplete any and all resources needed for a mandated quarantine, I’m staying put. Everything and everyone is up in arms, and the COVID-19 has caused mass hysteria. I’ve watched videos of actual physical altercations over such items as toilet paper. I went to the grocery store toContinue reading “Mass Hysteria”
What If God?
So, this weekend was long for me but really short. I know that contradicts itself, but it’s how I felt. I got my Etsy store open, and that took a really long time to upload a bunch of pictures and add all the things you had to put in it. By the way, please goContinue reading “What If God?”
Let’s Get Into It!
As you know, if you read my blog yesterday, I didn’t exercise. I was going through some things. But today was much better. I woke up at 2:30am from choking and bringing up thick phlegm. Yuck, it was nasty, and I didn’t know what it was, but it woke me up abruptly, and I hadContinue reading “Let’s Get Into It!”
