Photo by nappy on Pexels.com During this pandemic, I have become emotionally exhausted. The unending stories of injustice, police brutality, ineffective government, and the lack of empathy, have been overwhelming. I never watch the news because we are fed bad news over and over again. It is very depressing. As a woman of color and… Continue reading Pack Light

Embrace Your Journey
We are all different. God has each of us on our own unique path. He is working on and in us the way He desires in His own timing.

The Thorns
The other day, I was discussing eagles with a friend. We discussed how the mother eagle lines the nest with thorns, rocks, and other sharp materials. After she lays the foundation of the nest with these kinds of uncomfortable objects, she lines it with softer materials such as feathers and anything she can find. In… Continue reading The Thorns
