Attitude of Gratitude 

Position of Submission

Disposition of Dispensation

Glad in His Glory

Treasured in His Truth

Jubilated in His Jubilee

Abounding in Abase

Abasing in Abound

Humbled in His Heirship

Renewed in His Resurrection

Formed for Fulness

Secure in Sanctity

Greased with Grace

Forget that STAR method

By -
Reflecting on the STAR interview method. I can honestly say that this method sucks. I try to move on with my life and not dwell on the good, the bad or the ugly of it all. I aspire to not keep a record of wrong. I want to improve and get better by building on better foundations, but I don't like having to recall all the drama of engaging with white people along the way. All my jobs have been run and operated by white people. Only my time as a student at the HBCU was I under the leadership of Black folks. This makes a difference for me in these assessments. I can remember nothing but people who had my best interest at heart and the HBCU. They were encouraging and forgiving and looking out for a person. There were the two or three incidents that I won't speak of that were a bit shady and over the top, but for the most part, I didn't look at these folk as anything other than people who cared about people and each other. With the world un-melanin-ated it was all together differ

Window Panes

My cousin told me that she can feel the brisk chill of the outside cold when she passes by her window. Growing up I could feel the cold as well piercing though the window pane. Walking by one left no other option some winters than to grab your shoulders cross armed and go, "burrrr." Time brings about a change and now in my home of seven year I have R-valued window panes. Double insulated windows that are a barrier to the cold chill just on the other side. Do I miss greeting Mother nature's cold chilly tap on my should as I glide by my windows? I can honestly say that I do not even think about it. Perhaps I shall next winter pull beside her with a hot cup of tea and we shall fellowship like we do in the Spring or Fall. My cousin is in a townhouse in Carrollton and is a renter. She rents for various reason, but she is about to embark on home ownership soon. She hopes to sign the papers in April. It will be a new home built from the ground up and located a ways away from the

Putting on Packing On

By -
My doctor informed me that my recent weight gain is most likely age related.  From medlineplus.gov: Menopause   is the time in a woman's life when her period stops. It usually occurs naturally, most often after age 45.   Menopause   happens because the woman's ovaries stop producing the hormones estrogen and progesterone. A woman has reached   menopause   when she has not had a period for one year. Between September and November 2020 I went from 146 to 172. I was unnerved. 158 was about as heavy as I've even been. I thought if I cut out some recent medications I was taking, I could alter the trajectory of the extra pounds.  Increasing my exercising and attentively adjusting my diet has not yielded the results I wanted either.  I will still cut down the meds and eventually remove the medicine from my routine since the nation has settled into calm and I don't think I need anti-depressants any longer. The weight for the outside world means nothing. It is more often I am to
