We are all familiar with the Nelson Mandela quote “I never lose. I either win or learn.” We may even quote it when speaking of our own lives. Since learning is also winning, in my mind I’ve changed it to “I never lose. I win, no matter what.” I think we tend to have a […]

In an earlier post I ranted a bit about dysfunction. It had nothing to do with the actual post, but I chose not to remove it. I spent some time thinking about that. As a result, this post is quite different and more personal. I believe that it may resonate with single women more than
I was driving one day and passed by a metal fabrication company. They had a sign out front that read “Relationship Status – It’s Fabricated.” It made me laugh initially because of the play on words regarding the social media profile option to choose a relationship status of “It’s complicated.” Then it made me think

A few months ago, I woke up one morning and the words “course correction” seemed to be etched in my mind. It made me spend a lot of time thinking about situations that I have been through, and situations that friends or acquaintances have shared with me. When I thought more about course correction, I
I recently watched a message by Steven Furtick of Elevation Church. He brought a fishbowl and a birdhouse onto the stage to make a point about moving in what we are made for. I’ve felt like a bird in a bowl for most of my life, until about 2 years ago. I started a new

I was not expecting to write about coffee, and there is nothing deep or spiritual about this post. Initially I thought it was caffeine that I love but I have realized and accepted the fact that it’s coffee. As a child, I loved drinking coffee with my grandparents, but that’s because my grandfather let

We’ve all heard this at some point in life whether it was advice given to us, or advice that we’ve given to someone. I’ve said it many times but did not realize until last year that I didn’t understand what it truly meant to let go and let God. A friend recommended the book “Letting
