My parents divorced when I was very young. Because of the nature of their divorce, I never had a relationship with my biological mother. After decades of drug abuse and mental health problems, she took her own life before the Christmas of 2000. As you can imagine, even though we were estranged, her choices andContinue reading “Heavy Baskets”

Break Away
This season of my life has led me to pull away from certain things and focus on my spiritual growth as well as my health. During this time, I’ve also found myself enjoying the simplicity that comes with solitude and minimal distraction. Since becoming a stay at home mom, I’ve found great joy in beingContinue reading “Break Away”
Hwy 43 North
Traveling in Unfamiliar Territory Tomorrow is my 43rd birthday! I recently traveled from San Antonio, TX to Shreveport, LA to visit my mom. This was to be a familiar 7-8 hour trip, a route which I have traveled several times. I plugged my mother’s address into the GPS, gassed up, and headed north on Interstate 35.Continue reading “Hwy 43 North”

These past few weeks I’ve been getting back to looking at nature and particularly trees. Their structure, detail, shade and line. There is so much that goes into each tree. Like a specific poem.

If we only had a heart, We would see human and not race, We’d understand that because of Our Father everyone has a place. If we only had aContinue reading “If We Only Had a Heart”
Our Scars: Signs of Victory
Have you ever stood in front of the mirror and took inventory of all your imperfections? I have. Have you ever taken a moment to think about the story behind each of them? I can remember some of them quite vividly. On the other hand, there are some that I have no idea about whereContinue reading “Our Scars: Signs of Victory”
You Whisper
In my slumber, you tap me as the break of dawn is drawing near, Your tender whisper awakes me as signs of each new day appears. Your breath fills my lungs as it flows through pulsing veins, To let me know you’ve given me another day to live again. Some days are filled with uncertaintyContinue reading “You Whisper”
