Want to know something? Of course I'm going to tell you anyway... for years, I despised being the different one. The one that only went places because she was a friend of someone that was invited. The one that felt socially awkward because she did more observing than talking. It pained me to be considered weird. What made me hate it the most was that I really desired to embrace my differences. I mean, I enjoyed being a loner and having more quiet time due to not being invited

I like deals and sales… especially on clothing. I use coupons and I shop bargains. One day, in particular, I was ordering something online and as I headed to the website, a box popped up letting me know that If I were to subscribe by entering my email address, I would get a 20% off coupon in my inbox. Did I do it??? You bet I did! And with no hesitation. After entering my email address, I waited just enough time for that coupon to hit my inbox and I added that beloved coupon

Hey y’all, I hope everyone is doing alright on this awesome Sunday evening. 😊 Mmmkay… so, I recently started getting my “nails did”… LOL. And by that, I mean actually going to the nail salon. **If you’re a guy and reading… stay with me here… it’ll make sense soon** My natural nails have grown, significantly (which they often do), and I didn’t want them to break. One of my girls suggested that I get either an Alright, now if you know anything about the process of having acryl

A couple weeks ago, I was outside talking with my bro and sis and I was stung by a bee. I was devastated, and I made sure that they knew it. I made a huge deal about it… mainly because it really did hurt. My wrist became swollen and red, and the area began to burn. I even called my mom and dad in Michigan to whine about it (no judgement necessary). See, I hadn’t been stung by a bee since I was in kindergarten… lining up… after recess… (yes, I remember). So apparently, the nat

I like food… it’s good. But, I don’t like my food to touch; that’s a big no no! Sometimes, I even go to the extent of not having all the options at once so that there can be space between each item on my plate. I’ll make multiple trips, get more than one plate, whatever I need to do so that my food is not congregating to closely. Often, this can be a good thing because it causes me to get less of something so that I can have some of everything. Then, there are some foods that

Tonight, as I was writing and flipping through one of my current notebooks (I write in like 3 at a time… so what… LOL), I came across something that I wrote almost a year ago. September 8, 2017, to be exact. Now, I can’t recall if I’ve already posted it but I know that I needed to read it again tonight. So, I’ll share……. 9/8/17 “By faith we understand that the entire universe was formed at God’s command, that what we now see did not come from anything that can be seen.” Hebre

I know… I know… where the heck have I been. Well, everywhere and nowhere at all. Lol. Anyhoo…. Sorry. Buuuuutttt here we go….. Best friend, bestie, BFF, ace… Growing up, I didn’t have many friends. I was (am) what you would call a loner. Because of the self-esteem that I lacked, earlier on in life, I longed to have friends, a best friend, someone to take the attention off of myself. I wanted that amazing BFF that Brandy sang about. Y’all know the jam: “I don’t know what I’d e

So, I’ve decided that I don’t need to be lazy any longer (eye roll) and that I need to resume my workouts. Uh Huh….. mmmkay. I pulled out my favorite workout DVD set, “TurboFire.” As I got into the workout, I was feeling pretty good. But toward the end, I got a bit winded. Now, any of you that know anything about Chalene Johnson (creator of the workout), you know that she yells “YOU’RE NOT TIRED!” throughout the workout to remind you not to quit. Well, I was at the point that

Hey y’all…. question: Have you ever heard of those sites that offer info on unclaimed money or property? You know, those sites where you put in your name and maybe a state that you’ve lived in and they tell you whether or not that state or a company within that state owes you something. If you are owed money, there are steps to take in order to claim it. Sounds fairly simple, right? I mean, all you gotta do is type in your name and if they owe you, you claim what’s yours. The

Now, when I think of a bunny, I think of the cute, hopping, furry baby rabbit animal with two long ears. I also think of a nickname that someone might call another person. Do y’all know what a dust bunny is??? My point…. we were made of dust! Not dirt! Dust! My God is so amazing that He took dust, formed it, and made a man. That’s how you know He’s good, He took something that could never be anything and made everybody. “And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground,

Do any of y’all remember being in elementary school and playing dodge ball, or any of those playground games that required teams? I can recall the two captains (still don’t know how they got to be so) taking turns and choosing who would be on their teams. As I recall, the kids they were friends with got chosen first (nothing really to do with athletic skill), then went the bigger kids they didn’t know that well, then went the kids that, well, I guess were considered not bff’s

Heeeeyyyyy y’all!!! I’m back… during my favorite writing hour: BEDTIME! Even more so because I had caffeine at about 7:30 pm (I had to, I was highway drivin). Pray that sleep slaps me. Lol. So, I had a thought, or twelve, but I’m gonna just share one with you. Mmmkay… Have you ever been stranded on the side of the road? Like, has your car ever broken down to the point where you had to leave it or get it towed? Well, I’ve only had that happen once, while I was in college. But

My dad is a tailor and he has has been my entire life, and even before I was born. In fact, he’s still the only one allowed to alter any garment of mine; I just don’t trust anybody else to do it. A split seam, pants too long, need an extra button hole, yep, only my dad can fix it. And I mean that! Only once has anyone else attempted to alter anything of mine, and Growing up, I’d always hear customers ask my dad, “Aye Eddie, how much would you charge me to make this suit I wan

I read the first chapter of the book of Deuteronomy the other day, where Moses reminded the Children of Israel of how bad they messed stuff up (insert eye roll).  As I went on reading, I made it to verse 29, he said, “Then I said to you, ‘Do not be terrified, or afraid of them. The Lord your God, who goes before you, He will fight for you, according to all he did for you in Egypt before your eyes, and in the wilderness where you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a man

This past Friday evening, I checked the schedule on my phone, as I often do, and noticed that there wasn’t a “dot” on my Saturday.  Now, I have an iPhone and if there is something that I have planned on a particular date, a dot shows up for that day when looking at the month view, and I have many dots.  Well, after noticing this, I declared that on Saturday, I would do absolutely nothing! On Saturday, I woke up and went back to sleep at least a dozen times, with no apologies.

I’m a writer. I think that’s a given. But anyhoo, I’m a writer who writes what God gives. Now, I am in no way implying that no one else writes what God says, nor am I saying that my writing is perfect. But, what I am saying is that, what I write and share, God has instructed me to share. There are times when a particular situation occurs and God gives me a spiritual understanding or explanation of why. Even the most simplistic situations, you know, like buying bananas, c

Hey y’all!!! Yes… yes… I know it’s beyond bedtime AND the time changed on me AND tomorrow is Sunday, which means CHUUUURRRRCH!!! I am SO EXHAUSTED… but the good kind, you know what I’m talkin about, don’t you? When you praise God so long and He wrecks your life so good that now you’re worn out completely? Yep… that kind. Anyhoo… I can’t sleep, but I’m sure that after this post I’ll sleep soundly and wake up feelin AMAZING for church! Okay, so, here’s my pitch………… So many tim

Alright….. hey y’all!  Okay, here we go………………………….. So, yesterday (I suppose you can call it yesterday) I was sleeping very soundly.  Like, that sleep was so good, I could taste it (LOL).  It was raining too, so that was an added bonus.  Now, at about…. Idk…. 5:14 a.m. (shhhhh, I looked at my phone), I dreamed that I heard water in my apartment, like, a lot of water….. and remember, it was raining outside.  Except, then, I realized that it wasn’t a dream and so I thought that

Oh….hey y’all!  Happy Saturday to ya!  I pray that your day is going AMAZINGLY! 😉 Okay…so the reason for my post today is this picture———-> Mmmkay….so, one of my friends posted this with the caption “Two little red tomatoes on a very dead tomato plant.”  I looked at the picture for a few minutes and first thought about how AMAZING this is.  Then, I thought about how dead this plant actually looks.  Liiiikkke, I wouldn’t expect anything to grow from it.  Let alone survive on

So…..the other day, after an unnecessary hiatus, I started running AGAIN! You: “Yay!!! Congrats…I’m so proud of you!!!” Me: “OMGosh…thank you so much!”  LOL! Mmmkay…..as I was leaving out of my apartment, I was trying to figure out what I needed to do once I got back home.  I could barely lock my door because I was racking my brain, thinking about my next task.  Liiiiikkkkke, I hadn’t even made it out of my apartment building and I was making a mental to-do list (on top of th
