Where Is Your Easy Button?


Stop getting upset and frustrated about the things life throws at you.
Hit your easy button and let all of that stuff go.

Power in the Tongue

Are you using your tongue to build up or to tear down?


A few weeks ago, I was in my office at work having one of my pity parties. The pity party actually started when I woke up that morning. For some reason, I just couldn’t get myself together. Then I made the mistake of looking in the mirror…. Why did I do that?? Everything went downhill from there.
I was online chatting with a friend of mine. Crying the blues about how I was feeling in a funk, blah, blah, blah. This friend of mine said something to me that stopped me in my tracks and made me break down and cry. They said this:
 “If you get frustrated looking at yourself through your eyes, use mine and see how magnificent you are”. 
Wow… those words meant the world to me.  I saved that statement. Whenever I am beating myself up or having a bad day or when I am just not loving myself, I read it. It always brings a smile to my face.
I am glad my friend used those words to build me up.

An Injustice to One...


It’s sad to say that in the year of 2013 racism still very much exists
Even though we know it, it’s still hard to believe and accept this
A white man walks free after killing a young black unarmed teen
Only a bag of kittles and canned drink were found on him at the scene
The shooter said he was threatened and that it was done in self defense
So why get out the car to follow him. … it makes no sense
Was it because he was black and had a hoodie on his head
Or was it because you saw a “coon” and wanted him dead
We will never really know the truth about what happened that night
Why did he kill that child? What gave him the right?
I can’t believe he was found not guilty in this case
All we wanted was justice for all not just one particular race
We have to come together and unite, fight together and stand tall
Because an injustice for one is an injustice for all

Whispers in the Dark

I can feel the heat of your breath as you whisper in my ear
Telling me how much you love me and that you will always be here
How I am your woman, lover, confidant; your best friend
How you would die protecting me, protecting us until the very end

I can feel your heart beating as I lay on your chest
It’s my favorite place to unwind and lay my head to rest
All the stress and pressure of the day just seems to melt away
As I soak up all of the kind words you always say

You are a great man and I appreciate all you do
Thank you for loving me and making my dreams come true
For trusting me, respecting me and opening up your heart
Every night I can’t wait to hear your whispers in the dark
