WRITINGS
Forgive Them Father
~Written around 5am on Good Friday, April 18, 2025~ At this time, Jesus is being tortured by Roman soldiers and made to carry his cross with Simon of Cyrene to Golgotha. That morning, it is said that he is finally hoisted up on the cross and from noon to 3pm,...
I Refuse to See Another as Separate From Me
It was a mic-drop moment for me. In hearing the women who assisted Thecla by crying out "unholy judgment" and throwing petals, nard, cinnamon, and cardamom to create a perfume to lull the wild animals to sleep, I saw so many of us who refuse to see ourselves as...
What are We Celebrating? It’s Not Independence.
Today is our Independence Day, but it feels like anything but. Last week, the Supreme Court decided to take away the rights of people rather than expanding those rights. On a day, where we celebrate our Declaration of Independence that stated that our Creator had...
Don’t Sleep on the Dark Night
He was deeply grieved, He got angry, and He prayed to get out of doing the task we all know Him for. Most wouldn’t speak of Jesus’ moment in the Garden of Gethsemane in those terms. Most would focus on the fact that He regained the will to perform the task of being...
My Thanksgiving
NOTE: I wrote this on Thanksgiving Day 2021. Less than a month later, my beloved grandmother made her transition from this earth. I believe God encouraged me to write this reflection of that day because He knew what I did not, and He wanted me to have this to remember...
Resurrection
This weekend, I’ve been reflecting heavily on Holy Week, the week between Palm Sunday and Easter Sunday. On Good Friday, I mentioned to my aunt that I was thinking of watching Passion of the Christ. She mentioned that it was hard for her to watch. I told her it was...
A Non-Daily, Daily Practice
My daily ritual is different every single day. It’s a non-daily daily ritual. As an intuitive being, I have found that I have to follow my inner guidance for what I do every day. I will say that I do start every day with meditation, well, I meditate at least once...
I Am Not My Body, I Am Free
I’ve actually had a surprisingly good relationship with my body. Now don’t get me wrong. I didn’t always treat her right. Heck, I still don’t if eating sugar and fried foods are still considered bad for you. However, I love my body. Can it be better? Heck yes. It...
Living on Purpose
Some years ago, I felt I was not living with purpose. I felt I was not living on purpose. I was just going through the motions despite having everything I’d ever desired. I was a partner in a law firm, a favorite of my boss, I was in an amazing relationship with a...
Accepting Where I Am and Acknowledging That Despite My Intentions, My Worthiness Got Me Here
I am a 41-year-old unmarried woman without children. If you’d told me at age 18 that I would never have been married or had children by this time in my life, I would have called you a flat-out liar. I grew up watching fairy tales and romantic comedies. I have wanted...
