There are lessons to be learned all around us. I’ve always believed this. The universe does not trifle with coincidences. So how do we know what lesson is for us? I am a firm believer in that still small voice that speaks to us on a regular basis that tells us that what was said […]

Gastronomical Knowledge
So…here we are again on a cool first day of fall and the time of year I love the most is marred because of asshats with no real grasp of respect for humanity. See, I don’t get the need that some people have to always be right, to know all there is to know on […]
Con artists, posers, and other sundry
In our day to day , we often meet all sorts of people. Some are intelligent, sincere, entertaining, and then you get the other end of the spectrum…the ignorant asshats, the boores, the ones who are con artist supreme and posers. Those are the ones who drag our spirit down. We see them everywhere..in groups […]
So…what does that mirror reflect?
I’ve hear it said many times that we often dislike or rag on things in other people that are a reflection of ourselves. Now that isn’t always the case for the most part, but its accurate once in awhile. But on the outside looking in, we often see people who want to blame everything on […]
How honest is honest?
I prefer truth. My friends know this, I give it, demand it in return(even if it isnt what I want to hear). But how honest is honest? Do we tell our friends that we hate the dress they are wearing, that it makes them look old, fat whatever…when they seem excited about their “perfect find”. […]

Source..sometimes when I hear the word in reference to someone’s path it makes me chuckle because I am reminded of the show Charmed where they speak of “the source” in reference to the beginning of all that is evil that they fought with ..control of the demons.

Dream of promise?
I’m traveling..on my own this time…. why am I here without being summoned? I pull the small boat up near the steps and walk to the porch. Maman Celeste opens the door…”Come on in Cher, you’ve journeyed long”. I walk in to the small hut, smiling, for Maman looks like an exotic bird taken from […]
Hiding with a purpose?
Why do we hide from the world? What is the purpose of that? We wear a mask for this one, yet another for someone else. Why do we do that? Is it because we have been so ingrained with others perceptions that we are afraid to let the real “us” show through? Do we believe all the […]
What are we teaching the next generation?
I have often been left shaking my head at how kids act and behave when out in public and out of sight of their parents sometimes. Friday night , Brae and I were at the high school football game. I live in small southern town, so prayer is a given before the start of every […]
Remembering the fallen
This weekend marks the 10th anniversary of one of the worst tragedies our country has ever experienced outside of war. We all sat stunned in front of television sets, listened to radios, talked in whispers as we watched landmarks crumble in front of us, taking lives, shattering innocence, and reminding us that we are not […]
