It had to be done
A few weeks ago, I traveled to visit my family (in Charleston, SC). While I was home, I go the opportunity to cross a beautiful bridge. This that spectacular bridge. Just looking at it gave me a thought. Have you ever been in a situation that you knew was toxic for you? Maybe it was…

Light & Up.
And so the story goes….. Recently, I was having a conversation with a dear friend. She was explaining how something happened to her that was rather unexpected, but nice nonetheless. As she began to talk, I heard phrases of, “I’m not good enough,” and “I don’t deserve,” seep out of her mouth. I allowed her…

Truth Serum Alpha
So, I had a discussion with my brother the other day that I’m going to write through to make some sense of it. I apologize in advance if this sounds like a one-sided post. But hey, who am I kidding? It normally does. Lol. I’m at a strange place in my life. I’ve always been…

The Year’s End
Alas, we are alone. Just you and me….and every other person who will read this. Okay, okay. You get the point. LOL. This year has been tortuously amazing.

My “girlfriend” in this instance is my car. When we were introduced, she only had 63…

My personal goals are shaping up, I’m loving school like never before, and crooked roads are being straightened in my personal life (as…

I am Mr. Impatient
I know that you may think that you are the most impatient person that you know, but I am here to declare that I will defeat that feeble notion of yourself (if there’s such a thing). In my never-ending quest to better myself, I have discovered something. Due to a recent event I was exposed…

Happy Birthday!!!
Last Sunday, I became an uncle: again! Admittedly, this was a special birth for me. Over the pregnancy, I’ve had the gracious honor of witnessing the growth of my younger brother, Marcus, from husband to second-time father. He has become even more focused on what’s most important, which is his family. He reminds me so…

I’m a Bad Mother….
..Shut your mout’! I was talking with a friend the other day, and it conjured up an old story I wanted to share with my readers. Some names have been changed to protect the identity of the innocent. Well, kind of (you’ll see my method of protecting the “innocent”). It was second grade, circa 1985. …
