God’s View

Yesterday was the second anniversary of Katrina and there were several television shows commemorating the event.  Each story seemed to focus on illness, high crime, depression, homelessness, and the slow rebuilding of homes.  There was also a story featuring the children of the storm and how they have been progressing in the past 2 years.  […]

TBD

How many times in our lives have we gotten information that made us feel like the world was ending, or at least made us want it to? Malignant medical diagnosis, divorce, financial problems and death are all very scary, dreaded and unwanted experiences. Throughout my life I’ve experienced my share of tragic events, […]

A Watched Pot

I once heard Oprah say that she lives without expectations. The cynical part of me thought, of course you don’t, you can have anything you desire. Instantly I caught myself, quickly realizing money does necessary mean peace, happiness, love and all the eternal qualities. Truthfully, I simply couldn’t relate to her statement. As spiritual as […]

The Waiting Game

Divine discontent
I’m sitting in front of the computer wondering what I will write.  Is there any particular inspiration I’d like to share?  Is there something I’m moving through that may benefit someone in our My Goodness family?  I sit and wait, and nothing inspirational or uplifting comes easily.  I’ve been in this mood for a […]

Who’s Got Control?

My mother-in-love is out of town and when that happens that means we have her dog, Amos. Amos is a 5-pound (maybe) silky terrier with the personality of a hyper, excitable Bull Mastiff. His “let me please fetch the sock again, let me, let me fetch, again, again, please, fetch, again, fetch, sock, […]

All in His Hands

Yesterday my friend gave birth to her second child, a little girl. Yesterday I took a call for another friend who an Emmy award-winning filmmaker wants to hire to do the music for his new documentary on Downs Syndrome. Yesterday we had a very fun CD listening party for Dave LeMieux and House […]

Successfully Sleepless

Promptly, at 2:34 this morning, my eyes flew open and I knew they’d be open for a while . . . it wasn’t one of the fleeting things, and I immediately understood that. Marc is traveling, so falling asleep at all was the stuff of mythology. Yielding to my wide-open eyes, I grabbed […]

Letter to My Boys

There are new beginnings unfolding for you.  New school year.  New football season.    New opportunities.  New friends to make.  New chances to take.  New possibilities.
There will also be new temptations.  New challenges.  New disappointments.  New heartbreaks.  New struggles.  New hurdles to overcome.  New pitfalls to traverse.

Take courage, in all of this newness around you.  Take […]

Black Enough?

Barack Obama, is he Black enough? Initially when this question came up I ignored it. Something about it seemed frivolous and petty.  But as campaigning for the Presidency continues and the media persists with this question, is Barack Obama Black enough, I’ve become interested.  Let me first admit there is something amusing about the question […]

Joyful Legacy

Yesterday’s Oprah show topic asked the question “Can women have it all?”  The show focused on a discussion of mothers some; stay at home and others working out of the home.  Having recently had a child myself, I was interested in the topic and the views of each woman participating in the panel.  As I […]
