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 […]
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, […]
Black Enough?
Barack Obama, is he Black enough? Initially when this question came up I ignored it. Something about it seemed frivolous and petty.

For 20 minutes I’ve been reviewing my day yesterday, thinking about what is ahead for today, recalling recent conversations, and remembering immediate plans, all with the intention of trying to find some blog worthy fodder with […]
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.
