Pure Love

Everytime I look at that little boy of mine, I cannot help but smile.  He is the joy of my life and all I want to do is be there for him.  I never thought I would be feeling this way about parenting being that I highly value my career and education. But even though [...]

Queen For A Lifetime!

I went to an event last weekend called Queen for a lifetime which featured women of God who either performed vocally or through spoken word.  Each of these women had a story to tell. It is said, that you don’t have to be a celebrity or a famous person, to have an interesting story and [...]

Happy Cinco De Mayo

Yes, I almost missed Cinco de Mayo today and that would have been a shame.  Although it really didn’t turn out the way I wanted it to.  It was my suggestion, at work, for us to order mexican food to celebrate this festive occasion.  When I lived in TX for 15 years, this was a huge [...]

Airplanes!!!

Thomas is now obsessed with airplanes.  We read about them in books and hear them fly overhead while we’re in the car. Our church is even located right in front of our city’s airport, but blocked by many trees.  So we have yet to actually see one fly overhead. So, yesterday Thomas and I were outside [...]
