27 What I say to you in the dark (privately), tell in the light (publicly); and what you hear whispered in your ear, proclaim from the housetops [to many people].
As the year was winding down, I was just ready for the new year to get here. Then I went to a Bears game. My first NFL game ever. It was such a rejuvenating experience. Who would have thought that? It sparked me to get back into blogging seriously. I’ve been saying and wanting to […]
Leading up to my 40th birthday was a twinge of excitement, nervousness and navigating the unknown. As I got closer, I realized it wouldn’t be a day that I wanted but a day that still ushered in gratefulness. The past 2 birthdays I spent the day alone. It was mixed feelings but at the end […]
I can’t think of a time I wasn’t in the state of Texas for Juneteenth. Whether I was celebrating it or not, I was at home. Except this year. Now that I live in Chicagoland, I was able to experience Juneteenth from a different perspective. An outside perspective. And what I experienced was interesting. That’s […]
Musings as I near my 40th birthday.
It’s been over a month since the Safe House International Faith Fellowship. It was such an experience. I really haven’t been able to put into words the feeling that engulfed the gathering.

Not really but no […]
Please don’t get confused by the many dates I have shared on this blog. March 2009 was when I started my very first blog, prayingforpurpose.blogspot.com. Then September 2011 I started Women Are Gamechangers. This was the blog that launched my professional blogging career. November 2013 I started this blog to have space to write about […]
Y’all I found all these things online that had photos or videos I took from years ago. Or that other people had taken from my past events. Photos I thought were deleted but nope. The cloud knows and keeps everything. I was doing my best to scrub my digital footprint (I’m not on the run […]
This is the finale of this edition of going down memory lane. Now this memory is bittersweet. But I can’t ignore what I was able to do and be part of from June 2015-June 2018. Around March (y’all know that month seems to do good for me) 2015 I was part of a Facebook group […]
