Singers have sung about it. Poets have spoken about it. Even lyricists have tried to articulate to a beat what so many feel in their hearts. In my short time of being on this earth, I have witnessed—and even experienced—it’s up’s and down’s, it’s high’s and low’s, it’s in’s and out’s else that comes along [...]

According to Dr. Oz, we spend about 2 hours of our night dreaming. That’s 700 hours a year and 50,000 hours in a lifetime. It has been said that what we dream at night are concerns that we come in contact with during the day. If this is true of our natural dream patterns, I [...]
April 11th, 2011 DdotOlivia I’ve been conspicuously absent recently. I’ve been reading. The book I planned to write about just wasn’t doing it for me. When I read a book, especially if I am to offer some words about it, I either need to be moved to a place of ecstasy or a place of anger. The words on [...]

Whether it’s something insignificant like a bracelet or something more valuable like my keys or money, it is such an inconvenience to have to backtrack and remember where I last was when I had the missing item. If losing material things [...]

Yesterday I read “Yesterday I Cried” by world renowned author Iyanla Vanzant, and that’s exactly what I did—I cried. But I didn’t cry physically; my spirit felt heavy and wept for so many of the things she mentioned that struck a nerve and I could relate to. After reading the poem and re-reading it again and [...]

On Tuesday, March 22nd, Kirk Franklin will release his latest project entitled “Hello Fear” and it has already created quite a buzz. I recently say Kirk Franklin on TBN’s “Praise the Lord” broadcast hosted by Steve Harvey (that can be it’s own post… but it was great!). Steve Harvey talked quite passionately about what Kirk’s [...]
March 16th, 2011 Andrea Your magnificent presence consumed me… you were so strong… when I came in weakened and battered… you understood my heart… even when I could not pray… you touched me with your warmth… when I was shivering cold with all my uncertainties… your smile was upon me… even as I cried… you spoke to me… I [...]

March 4th, 2011 ThisIsMe247 I frequent the local malls in search of the latest fashion accessories. I wear Coach Sneakers. I love my Uggs. Different color nail polishes adorn my nails at one time. The aforementioned statements are not uncommon to my fellow 18 year old females across the world. But when we get home from the mall, we [...]
