• A Whole Lot More

  

  Every Sunday, for eight weeks and counting, a lot more happens in our home. We smile a lot more. Grateful tears fall a lot more. We breathe deep sighs of relief a lot more. You see, the enemy came for my sweet husband on Sunday morning just after Valentine’s Day. His attack was clearly meant…

• Less Is More

  

  Last year did a number on me, y’all. More hate between Red and Blue. Deep hurt as a 92 percent Black woman who voted for the common good (because we’re completely – not selectively – honest about the country we love, too). Knowing that so many folks voted for rich people who are clearly self-serving,…

• Know and Trust

  

  Feeling hard-pressed or stressed? Same. Life has required roller blades lately. And mostly for lovely moments. Ten college applications are now submitted for our high school senior (and to clarify – 10 applications that required at least twice that number of essays). We’ve shown up for loved ones and friends when needed. We voted early…

• Nah-nah-nee-boo-boo

  

  Sometimes, I still say nah-nah-nee-boo-boo. If you don’t know, nah-nah-nee-boo-boo is like a punctuation mark among kids. It’s used to tease or one-up someone else. As in, “I’VE got some ice cream, nah-nah-nee-boo-boo!” Or, “I’m going skaaaaating, nah-nah-nee-boo-boo!”   In any case, being on the receiving end of nah-nah-nee-boo-boo usually means pouting faces and frustration.…

• Skip Me, God

  

  Sometimes life comes so fast and furious that I just wanna say: Skip Me, God. Pretty please, with sugar on top. Recently, my hubby and teen were sick-sick at the same time. They felt absolutely awful, with fever, congestion, aches . . . the works. As I jumped into care mode, I was already on…
