The Breakfast Club

The Breakfast Club—our church family gathering for the last Sunday brunch of the year. Morning light meets grateful hearts as we come together, open to the graces waiting to be received and the blessings meant to be shared. May our time together be filled with joyful conversations, warm laughters, and thankful hearts. May our words be kind, our laughter sincere, and our fellowship, faith, and love, a quiet prayer of thanks. Nourished in body and spirit, may we carry this joy into the day ahead. Wishing you a beautiful and deeply blessed day. Happy New Year!

A Friend is Quick To Listen

The picture I have of women is undoubtedly what I learned from my Mother. She once told me that every smile of independence and rights in a woman’s face, was one less tear in her eyes. Today, I would rather just tell her that I finally got it. Smiles like these can take more than a day or a month. It takes a whole existence. The smile of two friends. A marriage of two beautiful souls. A candid, open, strong and nurturing friendship of love, respect and understanding.  A friend is quick to listen, slow to judge…

National Sibling Day

And because today is National Sibling Day, I am celebrating it with the one and only in my life, my sister. One beautiful, courageous, tough lollipop, who loves to brag that I am the youngest, I am not but riding the carrousel, I am. Whenever you hear a person saying, she is my everything, trust me they mean it; so I do, she is. She is that cookie I rely on come hell or high water, through thick and thin, and many hell Mary’s later. I just have to knock on that door for it to open j-u-s-t l-i-k-e that. 

Happy Day Siblings!
