Love Out Loud (Part 1)!
Greetings everyone! I am writing you from the basement -no, really. I’m tending to laundry. As I reflect on the occurrences of the past weekend, I have realized that I am blessed (yet again). My Momma and sisters came up to visit. Dad had a speaking engagement, and couldn’t come. They spent a couple of…

“Machismo”
It’s 0102 and I’m in IHOP: again. [Don’t judge me! LOL] I have my sweet tea on deck, and I am in a rather reflective mood. Hopefully, this post won’t be a novel. Ha! I must admit that I listen to music when writing posts: 100% of the time. Tonight, I am listening to a…

The most unlikely gift
At first, yesterday shaped up to be somewhat grueling. I agreed to help a dear friend move. [This is also the same friend whose wedding I attended a few weeks ago. Read the post “Heart Smiles” for details.] If you know me, you will know that I detest moving with a passion! I would rather…

Kyrie Eleison
Kyrie Eleison is latin, meaning: “Lord, have mercy.” So, I got up this morning with a few things that I wanted to get done today. I was preparing for an 11 o’clock appointment and was moving steadily around the house. About 10:30 or so, I grabbed my phone to check my messages. As I clicked…

Memoires of a Soldier’s Son

Stay Strong
The word for the week is: “fuerte”. One of my close friends is teaching me how to speak Spanish, and she taught me that that word means “strong”. Although this picture doesn’t exude me being strong, it does have a purpose. I decided to let the art students paint my face during a serving opportunity…

As if no one is looking.
Something unexpected happened to me Friday. I had been feeling like the week whizzed by without me having reflected upon all that had transpired. Here’s an unknown fact about me: My goal is to accomplish something each day, so that I will have the feeling of, well, accomplishment (redundancy isn’t cute: I get it). Currently,…

What’s missing?
Greetings to all of the fantabulous readers out there (fantastic+fabulous=fantabulous)! I bring you greetings from the penthouse floor of my building, where I reside. Who cares if my building only has three floors? That’s not the point. Let’s get right to it. Lately, I am constantly being reminded that everything requires a process. I find…

Coming up next on Meat: The Press.
Straightaway, we need to address my latest self challenge. For the past 37 days, I have been abstaining……..from carnivorous activity. Um, wait a minute: that came out wrong. Lemme clean that up a bit. What I should’ve said was that I’m not eating meat right now. However, I’m still eating fish: heavily. Who knew eating…
