The Christmas Tag!!!

“Chestnuts roasting, on an open fire……” 🙂 So, today I’m feeling real holly and jolly today (possibly because of the Christmas  party we are having at work today).  As an extension of my holiday cheer, I am going to do the Christmas tag for you all!  I will have the questions down at the bottom…

Because Sometimes I Long for Peace

My mom sent this picture while she was on vacation, and I thought it was the best representation of what I desired at this moment. To be in a calm environment, with no other signs of life around; just being in my presence, silencing my mind and enjoying my own little taste of uninterrupted tranquility….

Pray for this World

I have noticed that there are a lot of things going on in the world today. Not to mention, many people are trying hard to make people feel insignificant in what they support and don’t support.  If you support one thing, you are no longer supporting something else and if you are standing for one…

Tranquility

It’s morning, a little before dawn, before even the animals wake. Before the sun breaks its silence over the sky, and illuminates the sky. My eyes open and embrace the day, as it bids farewell to the night. I sing praises to my Most High for the opportunity to live life right for another 24 hours….

Calm Down!

In light of recent events (so many racially motivated ones this week alone), I’ve seen several different discussions, debates and some all out heated arguments (let’s not forget a dash of ignorance and blatant racism). I just want to take the time to say, let’s try to have more educated conversations on the issues. I…
