“Choices.”

Can you help me out? Choice – Noun:“an act of selecting or making a decision when faced with two or more possibilities.” This past Sunday in church my pastor was preaching a message on Election PTSD (I totally didn’t know that was a thing!). Within his message he reminded us that we all have the power of choice. God actually […]

“Hair.”

When was the last time you “freaked out” over something that wasn’t that “big of a deal?” Have you heard of India Arie’s song, “I Am Not My Hair?” Lyrics are posted below, but some days I agree with the moral of the song and sometimes I don’t. I’m not going to lie, when my hair is done and neat, […]

“Love is Patient, But Are You?”

What does “wait” mean to you? What do you find yourself doing while you “wait”? Over the past few days the word “patience” and the demand “be patient” have been prevalent in my life.

What are some of your “simple” life’s pleasures? It’s Saturday morning, 8:50am. My body woke up at 7:51am this morning. My alarm was set for 9:35am. That was a “just in case” alarm. I went to bed around midnight last night. I typically do not sleep in past 8am most days. I set that alarm because that’s the latest I […]

“Slaying Empathy”

Would you define yourself as an empathetic person? “Empathy: the ability to understand and share the feelings of another.” As a public defender, we stress the importance of empathy. A good lawyer and advocate would be empathetic to what their client is dealing with so that they can put forth the best defense. See the client as a human, not […]

“The Dynamic Duo”

What quality have you’ve been trying to strengthen in yourself lately? It’s 2024. It’s a new year. It’s a new month. It’s a new week. And it’s a new day. I’m off social media right now. It’s one of the things I chose to do as I entered into this new year. I originally had a list of “resolutions” jotted […]
