Including the “Faith” Piece Into Music, Musing and Mainly Random Thoughts…

Leave a comment

IMG_2493One of the reasons why I returned to blogging was because I wanted to write more about my faith in God. I feel like it’s one of the pieces of my communications puzzle that had been missing during my past season of blogging. It’s not that I intentionally omitted this part of my life, I think I was simply focused on writing lifestyle pieces and didn’t write as much about faith.

When I did write about faith, it was sporadic and brief; definitely not to the depth and level of importance it holds in my life. I now feel that denying this part of my life in my writing, is to deny an integral part of who I am.

All that to say, I’ll be writing more about my journey  and adventures in my faith in Jesus (Christianity). My hope is to inspire others who are on the same faith journey and those who aren’t as well.

Yeah, just wanted to let the world know…

Happy Father’s Day to My Future Husband, Baby-Daddy and Father-in-Law…

Last weekend as I was walking through the cosmetics section of a department store in Long Island, NY, this happened:

Store Clerk: Hi miss. Would you like to smell this men’s cologne and maybe buy it as a gift for your father?IMG_0857

Me: Sorry, he actually passed away. He’s dead.

SC: Oh, sorry!! What about your husband? Father-in-law?

Me: I have no husband or father-in-law.

SC: Boyfriend?

Me: No boyfriend either….

SC: Oh… (with an apologetic look on her face)

Conversation done. Full stop.

She shut down and I was laughing on the inside.

I love these types of awkward interactions. Ha!

At some point I will have a husband and father-in-law to give a Father’s Day gift to. But for now, I’m enjoying the single life. And enjoying these gaffes.

So, Happy Father’s Day to my future baby daddy.

Yeah, I said baby daddy…..

Life Lessons: Blind Spots, Weaknesses and Asking For Help

Leave a comment

IMG_1131Everyone needs people who will call them out on their “ish.”

Trusted confidants who will help you pinpoint your blind spots, speak to you about your weaknesses and help you grow through them in a spirit of love and acceptance.

This past weekend a major blind spot was pointed out to me. I had no idea I was as weak as I was in a particular area of my life until I shared about a certain situation and everyone who was seated at the table around me gasped.

They were shocked. I was shocked at their shock. Everyone was shocked.

When they objectively broke down my story, I began to see the err in my ways and recognized that I needed help. I took it a step further and asked specifically for their help and made plans to fix my situation.

Fix it Jesus….

Blind spots. Weaknesses. We’ve got them.

Sometimes they’re massive and require serious adjustments and sometimes they’re little things that need minor re-alignments. Bottom line: we all have them and we need to be humble enough to admit our shortcomings and move forward.

It’s never too late to change.

I’m now off to re-align a few things…

Making a Comeback: Kinda… Sorta… Maybe… We’ll see…

IMG_9710My last legitimate blog post on this blog was over two years ago.

Two freakin’ years!!

I had been waning in my passion for writing and wasn’t sure if I wanted to continue on with this blog or try something new. I was in a massive season of transition and I knew I had to take a pause and sort out life.

And so my hiatus began….

Now, two years later, I think it’s time to return. I feel like it is. My mojo is back. The writing juices are flowing. And it’s time. We’ll see what happens…

IMG_1678Something is shifting inside of me; in my thoughts, in my soul, in my heart… I’m not sure what it is exactly. I can’t quite put my finger on it but I know that it’s real and alive and imminent. I feel like I’m mourning the death of something old and anticipating the birth of something new. I feel the grief of loss and the thrill of gain, I do. I just do…..

Anyone else feel this way?
