Finding Happy

Today is Rev. Jeanette Glass’s memorial service.  She died after a long battle with colon cancer.  A month or so ago a friend of mine visited with her.  She told me Rev. Jeanette told her to make sure she was doing what makes her happy.  My girlfriend returned to me inspired and curious.  She was […]

I See You

Several years ago, I interviewed a woman named Mae who lost over 150 pounds through exercise and diet.  I found her a very dedicated woman who, after many years, decided it was time to put herself and her health first.  There were many things about the interview that stood out, one of which was why […]

But for the Grace of God . . .

For the past few days I’ve been following the story of the pregnant woman, Jesse Davis, who was killed, and her boyfriend and father of her children who is being accused of her murder.  The story is very sad and I find myself feeling deep compassion for everyone involved.  Most of the stories regarding the […]

This Little Light of Mine

The other day I heard myself telling a close friend, “I’m parenting Zion, and guess what he’s parenting me as also.”  No matter how old we get there is still more growing up to do.  I’m not sure, but the last five months of being Zion’s mom has grown me up more than the 37 […]

Detach From What is Holding You

This week I’ve been praying to identify my attachments.  Attachments are the things I hold dearer than my spiritual practice or my path to God.  First I will admit this is not something I feel good admitting to myself, or anyone else for that matter.  I’d like to think my relationship with God reigns supreme […]

You Gotta Start, or Restart, Somewhere!

Okay, so maybe if I say this publicly it’ll stick: I start taking piano lessons today.  Wait, let me rephrase that, I start taking piano lessons again today.  The road back to the piano has been a long and winding one, but I’ve come full circle, darn it! 
Years ago, I’m talking years ago, I took […]

Lesson Learned . . . Maybe

Last night I got around 41/2 hours of sleep.  Yeah.  That makes for a very grumpy Nicole.  Here’s the deal.  In thinking about a speaking engagement this weekend, I went to bed heavy with the load of everything I needed to do to prepare.  While I had already sifted through the selected theme for the weekend, there was still much […]
