Random rantings of the misfit kind.
One of my very best girlfriends sent me a wonderful, inspiring short video this morning. It was a video of Steve Harvey, and in it, he was discussing how important it is for us to decide to step out on faith and take that "jump" towards fulfilling our purpose in life. I loved it so...

What a difference a year can make. For the past couple of months, I have spent considerable time reflecting on the things that have affected me over the last twelve months. I've made some bad decisions, I've lost people I loved, and I've gone from someone relevant to a stranger in the eyes of others.... Continue Reading →
**cue up the New Edition record**. So many songs about love...what it feels like, what it sounds like, hell, what it tastes like. It isn't a negative emotion, experience, feeling. The very essence of love is in the fact that it denotes positivity and freedom. Love is freedom. Love makes you feel like anything is possible.... Continue Reading →

Forgiveness. It's a word that's been on my mind for a couple of weeks now. I'd been contemplating whether or not I should write about it, and then Sunday morning, India Arie's cover of the song "Heart of the Matter" rolled through on Pandora, and then her song "Wings of Forgiveness" came on. So yeah, the question... Continue Reading →
Today I saw a quote that was attributed to the Dalai Lama on Facebook. It was his thoughts on what surprised him most about humanity, and he said, "Man. Because he sacrifices his health in order to make money. Then he sacrifices his money to recuperate his health. And then he is so anxious about... Continue Reading →
