The Coffee Butterfly Effect

Day 12 How did I end up here? Drastically searching for a towel…any towel, something to soak up the mess. Where do I start first? It’s all wet and with each passing second, brown stains are etching their way into a status of permanent damage. Damage to the carpet, walls…it’s everywhere. Stains on pictures, iPads,…

The Seed & The Soul | Week 1 |Putting In Work

After the genius light bulb goes off in your mind, then comes the work. Wouldn’t it be nice if the moment you thought of a great idea –poof!– it appeared?? As with anything in life, we must put in work. There is the preparation and research phase, the gathering supplies phase, planning and finally actually…

The Seed & The Soul | Not I, A Gardener?

Ahh…the moment you have that one great idea. I should start a garden, on my patio. My 8 x 10 back patio in Maryland, that is. I’m sure we’ve all had those moments when a “great” idea kept coming to you and appeared a lot less complex in theory, than in the actual execution. Well,…

Tomorrow

The first day … BIRTHDAY !! Started the day thinking about all the things I didn’t get finished in my thirties or in my 40 to 40. The blogs I needed to finish. The scripts I didn’t get done. The ideas still floating out there. Ran some errands. Trying to catch up from the amazing,…

20 Something, 30’s, Atlantic City Vibes

Day 36-40 //WRAPPED I’ve listed things from both of these decades. Not in any chronological order…just as they came to me. 20 or Something Tenacity prophesy Dr Elaine Waller, women’s conference, received a direct prophesy from Dr. Waller. She looked directly at me, in the crowd of about 50 women, at the altar, and said…

Widen Your Lens

Day 35 After fussing and having a pity party for myself, it hit me. After feeling bad about something in my life not being the way that I thought it should be, it made sense. After all, I have done everything that I should’ve done. I deserve for it to be that way. I’ve been…

Zero Percent Chance

Day 33- 34 What do you do when you are told there is “zero percent chance” of that happening? Told you are in the very small percent that it doesn’t work for? Told you are too old? Told that your chances, even as small as they are, are shrinking by the day? Told to never…

Muscle Memory

Day 31 and Day 32 Sitting in the ER, the ultimate destination for a Father’s Day, Jiornee holds the heating pad against the left side of her neck. An hour earlier, she woke up complaining of not being able to move her neck. Then her arm going numb. After some probing she revealed her newfound…

Seven Languages!

Day 30 Headed out to meet up with some family at a local lounge. When I say local, around here, that’s anything less than 1 hour to DC. His name was Eyob, our Lyft driver. Part of why I enjoy taking Lyfts is because I love hearing people’s stories of where they’ve come from and…

Just Tired? – Day 30

Maybe it’s because I’m tired. I hope that’s what it is. Because again, I feel like I don’t know what I’m doing and that I’m not supposed to be here. It’s so weird. Doing homework tonight, just reading, and I felt like I barely understood what I was reading. I felt stupid. Like why does…

Reach Back – Day 29

MTR calls them “Reach-Back Partners.” I call her a gift from God. Another pocket of sunshine that I asked for, prayed for. I met Jasmine at Central BBQ today. Never been to Central BBQ but heard it was one of THE places to eat here in Memphis. The food was cool. The atmosphere was cool….
