Do you remember seeing a cartoon that showed a devil with his pitchfork on one shoulder and the Angel with his halo and wings on the other shoulder? Most of us have seen it in many cartoons like Fat Albert, Tom and Jerry, The Simpsons, and many more. It’s how I illustrate the difference betweenContinue reading “Angel vs Devil Wars”

Stop Normalizing “Happy”
Can we stop normalizing the word “Happy”? Yesterday was Mother’s Day and everyone keeps saying “Happy Mother’s Day” but everyone I spoke to was everything but happy. Truth be told, people are suffering. They are grieving over losses. They are suffering from the loss of their childhood, their childhood wounds, the wounds of abandonment, andContinue reading “Stop Normalizing “Happy””
Mom’s Broken Mirror
“As newborn babies, we arrived in the world with natural, innate needs that had to be met for us to develop into mature human beings. However, even in the best circumstances, our parents inevitably could not meet all of our developmental needs perfectly. No matter how well-intentioned they were, at certain times they had difficultyContinue reading “Mom’s Broken Mirror”
The Voice
There is a voice that lives inside of us. God created every single creature with intuition. He created the animals of the wild to know when they are in danger, he created the birds of the air to know which direction to fly, he even created the cockroach to know when we are after them.Continue reading “The Voice”
Are You Like Samson?
Are you exhausted emotionally? Physically? Mentally? I find most people are one or all three. It occurred to me the other day that I am too.

Let the Wind Blow

Nothing is as Scary
I’ve done a lot of scary things in my lifetime. I left home when I was 17 years old with a brand new job and brand new bills all in the same week. I was scared to death. I had a baby after unknowingly getting pregnant on birth control pills. The delivery was an emergencyContinue reading “Nothing is as Scary”
God in Drag
I heard an interesting podcast the other day and there was a statement that made me stop and think, research, ponder, and meditate. The statement was “Everybody is God in drag.” To be in drag refers to the performance of exaggerated masculinity, femininity, or other forms of gender. So aren’t we in drag when weContinue reading “God in Drag”
The Snake Dream
Several weeks ago I had a nightmare. I usually don’t meditate much on dreams but this keeps occurring in my mind so I’ve decided to share it with you and what I believe is its meaning. I’m wading in muddy creek water. The water is hitting somewhere between my mid-calf to knees. All of aContinue reading “The Snake Dream”
