My daughters and I

Lord, I thank you for allowing me to live to see this day!! Oh, what a glorious day it is!! For the last 23 years of my life I have been a single parent or single mother, but thank you, Lord, today I can officially declare that I am just Single! While I will be forever their mother, I no longer have to mother them. I am so glad to see both my children come to this stage in their journey of life where they no longer need to parent them and I am so glad to take on my new role as a partner in their destiny!! It has definitely been a long rugged road that I somehow managed to have it look envious, but so far from it. My children and I have been through a lot, but we have managed to keep it together and come out more refined every time. Even though we have not had a lot of support we learned to lean on each other and embrace our flaws! So to my two beautiful, talented, smart, brave, and strong young ladies, hats off to your future and mine...big things are about to happen! I can feel it...God will see us through, He always has! Thank you, Jesus!

A Personal Sunday Reflection on the Three Stages of Life: Rest in Peace, My Brother.

Rest in peace, my brother. Life often demands reflection in its quietest moments. It's no wonder some people are always busy. The recent passing of my brother, Donovan, brought me to one of these moments—confronted by the stillness of an early morning ten days after his departure, I had an epiphany . In that silence, I considered the arc of life, its inevitable stages, and the truths that define us. From the beginning of birth to the vigour of youth and its pursuits of adulthood, to the finale—the fragility of aging and dying. I contemplated that life unfolds in three distinct but interconnected phases: birth and development, the pursuit, and sickness and dying.   Birth and Development: The Foundation of Self Life begins with hope and infinite potential. Each birth represe...

Twelve Meaningful Ways To Celebrate Thanksgiving When You Don't Feel Like It

By
Celebrating Thanksgiving when you're not in the mood or are feeling isolated can be challenging and, indeed, a test of resilience. However, there are several meaningful ways to navigate these challenges and still find joy in the holiday. Gratitude Journal: Amidst the whirlwind of negative emotions, take a moment to reflect on the positives in your life. Writing in your gratitude journal is a great place to start. Here, you may jot down the things you're thankful for, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant they may appear to be. This practice can shift your focus from what's missing to what you have.

Volunteering at a local shelter or food bank provides vital assistance to others and can significantly boost your mood. This small act of kindness can remind you of the impact you can make in the world. Virtual Gatherings: If you find yourself physically distant from loved ones, embra...
