What’s Love got to do with it?
Tina Turner sang about love, asking the difficult questions. “Who needs a heart when a heart can be broken?” If you listen closely, you can hear how hard it is to define love. In many words, she managed an all-time hit that we all relate to. Maybe it’s the notion—the confusion that comes with—heck itContinue reading “What’s Love got to do with it?”
The Chase of Life
This makes me smile even as I begin to write about it.The truth is most people will tell you there’s no love, while they are on every app trying to find it. They will tell you there are no jobs without connection while applying to every opening without the said connection.It is the hope, theContinue reading “The Chase of Life”
This I Prayed For
This is my favorite phrase lately. I realizewith a lot of humility that the things I have now are answered prayers. I have a rock-solid support system, and I would never take that for granted. You held my hands when I couldn’t keep them up. From the moment I felt pain, I wasn’t alone, andContinue reading “This I Prayed For”

Wondering how you got to this place,the place that you are alone.If you are like me and you made the conscious choice to be single then you’ll consoleContinue reading “Loneliness”
