What Matters Most

April 28, 2010

My new word is “simplify”. After realizing, for the past few months I’ve only been getting an average of 5 hours of sleep, I’ve decided to slow things down a bit. Being able to multitask is not always a good thing. If you’re not careful, you could easily become overwhelmed with so many projects or [...]

It’s Just That Simple

April 14, 2010

Jimmie’s flight left this morning around 7:30 a.m. I dropped him off at the airport, on my way to work (in the opposite direction). We spent yesterday together, while the girls were in school. Of course, the time always seems to speed up on his last day home. It was nice having him home for [...]

A Good Man

March 29, 2010

Recently, I did an article title “Every Now And Then”. In the article I simply shared my feelings about being a wife and a mother. Ladies, every now and then we have to stop, take a moment, and acknowledge our other half; sometimes, the better half. This article is dedicated to my husband, Jimmie. I [...]

Mommy Said…

March 26, 2010

This article is in no way intended to ridicule my husband. I want to make that publicly clear. I wrote this article because I know some of you reading this have younger children; and may be experiencing moments like this as we speak. If you ever want to be misquoted, misinterpreted or misunderstood, talk to [...]

Life Has A Purpose

March 8, 2010

For the past month or so I’ve been reading “The Purpose Driven Life” by Rick Warren. This book has taught me so much about me and my spiritual walk; I have to share my notes. Some of you may have already read it. I mean, it has sold over 15 million copies. For those of [...]

In Someone Else’s Shoes

March 3, 2010

This past weekend the girls and I took a family friend to their first dance competition for the new season. They were overwhelmingly excited to perform, even though there were some costume mishaps. Our youngest daughter’s costumes were fine; unlike the oldest who was missing a skirt to one of hers. Once we arrived and [...]

Every Now And Then

February 24, 2010

If you have ever had a conversation with Jimmie regarding marriage or relationships, chances are you’ve heard him say “I married a  beautiful, strong, intelligent woman”…and I agree. Or you’ll hear him compliment me on being a good mother to our daughters. “I don’t know how she do it, but she does a hell of [...]

Life Happens

February 21, 2010

As I sit here, I’m trying to figure out which way this article will go. So much has happened since my last post, back in January. Our family has had a few financial challenges, health concerns, and so on… and so on. I’m sure many of you can relate or know someone who can. We [...]

Losing Never Felt This Good

January 15, 2010

Let me just get right to it. Our youngest daughter had to learn a poem for her Literature class. Having experience in acting, monologues and so on, this was considered an easy assignment. After reciting her poem for the class, her teacher insisted she participate in the Poetry Out Loud National Recitation Contest. She would [...]

Let Them See You Sweat

January 10, 2010

We all know what a “pep talk” is, right? It’s that brief, yet familiar speech before a big event (game, presentation, competition, performance, etc). They are known to help calm your nerves, build your confidence and/or get you excited about your potential (not yet accomplished) success. “Remember, never let them see you sweat” is a [...]
