The Potential of the Moment
Warning: Political Post!
Yesterday MSM reported that al-Zawahiri, al Qaeda’s #2 guy, called Obama a “house negro.” I’ve been sitting with this trying to figure out where I am with it, and I think I’ve found a place to land.
The fact is that America’s historic racism has not only profoundly affected our own country, but apparently […]
My Son . . . The Football Superstar!!!!
Going For It!
This past weekend was full of reunions. The CU Buffs Football program had their annual fund-raising event that drew former players from previous eras and several states across the nation. I saw guys that I hadn’t seen in years. It was very cool. But as much as I enjoyed seeing our old friends, I most […]
Potato Salad and Other Life Lessons
Yesterday, being Father’s Day and all, I decided that I’d at least help make dinner. It was nothing fancy; burgers, potato salad and a green salad . . . nothing fancy (except the burgers for which Marc roasted some poblano peppers and covered them with provolone cheese on top of the patties while they were […]
The Beautiful Contradiction
My youngest son Cole never ceases to surprise me . . . in nearly ALL things. He is at times, and I say this with great affection and even greater envy, a walking contradiction. Or at least that’s the way it seems to me.
While he sits on the couch with ear buds in his ears […]
The Upward Spiral
The other day I was over come by this feeling of euphoria. I was sitting and talking with a girlfriend and it just hit me – bliss! I was overcome with a deep feeling of gratitude and joy for no apparent reason. As I sat listening to my friend, I felt as if I was […]
The Velvet Rope
The other day I had a thought that brought tears to my eyes; if Obama is elected President of the United States of America, it will forever change what it means to be a Black American. The thought of Obama as President struck something deep inside me.
When I was a little girl growing up in […]
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. […]
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 […]
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 […]
