If a song has a beat that I can move to, I can listen to it over and over again. I am a true music lover, for I like all kinds of music. As a little girl, I only heard R&B songs on black radio stations. I heard gospel music at church, and still today,... Continue Reading →
I have loved novels and movies about spying for many years. Authors like Robert Ludlum, Tom CLancy, and John le Carre entertained me with thousands of hours of non-stop espionage. While some females in my generation wanted to be "Bond girls" and be romanced by James Bond, Agent 007, I dreamed of being Agent 007. What... Continue Reading →
I wrote about this before when I first started the blog, but could not resist revisiting it when I saw the prompt from Scott Bailey was prayer, mainly because this is when I came to realize that some prayers are answered quickly and some require of to wait for an answer. The answered prayer changed...

Recently, I was reminded of a remark that my best friend's father made one day when we were swooning over some guy. Mr. Bubba said,"There's a difference between a real man and a guy in a pair of pants!" Of course, being two teenage girls, we laughed at him and never missed a beat in... Continue Reading →

Two months ago, I could not wait to get "home." I was ready for the comfort of my house and views from my windows. As the plane landed in Nashville, I nearly bowed down and kissed the ground, so glad to be back in those old familiar places. It had been lovely in Portugal, but... Continue Reading →
As I looked at the prompts for today, the word, lullaby, jumped out at me, for no one ever sang me to sleep with a lullaby. I did not even know any lullabies until I was an adult. Someone told me about Rock-a-Bye Baby as a means to get my infant to sleep. But, when... Continue Reading →
I find it amazing that the people who are most in touch with themselves, who are least likely to worry about what others think of them, and who are not afraid to flout others' expectations of them, are considered to be eccentric, meaning unconventional and slightly strange in their views and behavior. If they are... Continue Reading →
I had just completed a lecture on domestic violence. I told the young women that they should never keep anyone in their lives who puts them down and calls them names. I also told them that if the person you love does not support your dreams and tells you that you will never accomplish them,... Continue Reading →
