I was standing at my mirror applying my concealer when it hit me. The last few days interactions hit replay in my head and I had an aha moment. Could it be? I stared at myself in the mirror. I’m beautiful, I thought. I’m happy. I love myself. I’m a smart woman. I love people…

Please! No Hook Ups Please!
I stood in the middle of the group and listened to the conversations to the right and left of me. On the one side stood all the husbands and boyfriends on the other were the wives and girlfriends. And then there was me, the single lady, and though I wasn’t the only one I’d venture…
The First Dance…
Staring at you for hours on end, Formulating my thoughts and planning how to get in. Holding my breath waiting for your response. You took the morsel I dangled and then it was on. Rushing right in, because of course, I’m that bird. Feeding off the essence of your presence inhaling your every word. The…

You saw all the scars–the faded bruises- the pain that kept me chained. You relied on your foreknowledge…

Can’t explain the attraction, it’s something higher; Something deep inside of me drawn to your essence. Curiosity peaked by your intellect, I’m waiting for the lesson; Your words burning across the surface of my heart–hot like fire. Mesmerized by the sincerity in your eyes, I’m drawn to the king I sense inside. Don’t know how to…
Grief Speaks
This morning was a morning different from others. I woke up early, I gave thanks to God for my unseen blessings, I prayed and meditated for a long time. What was different was my attitude. So much so different than yesterday that I’m encouraged to share. April 24th 2015 is a day that will forever…
