Looking Back (Day 26)
Looking back over my posts from previous “dairy & sugar fasts," I'm reminded of how graciously patient the Lord is with me. Time after time, He stoops down to encourage my heart even though I often lag behind. He never gives up on me, and He never stops pursuing as He lovingly draws me to … Continue reading Looking Back (Day 26)
Timely Correspondence from Prison (Day 23)
Day 23 of my “no dairy, no sugar” fast As I sat trying to decide which direction to go – as far as my post for today is concerned – I received an email from my nephew in prison.

FODMAP Diet Plan
Yesterday, a friend offered me a yummy looking chocolate chip cookie. Declining the treat, I preceded to share that unfortunately, I was observing a “dairy/sugar” fast for the month of March and leading up to Easter (April 17, 2022). So naturally, she asked the reason behind it all. I shared my love for sugar or … Continue reading FODMAP Diet Plan

PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
As we toured Washington D.C. with all the rich history throughout, the Smithsonian Institute held a most captivating piece: the Hope Diamond. According to the Smithsonian Institute, the Hope Diamond is priceless because it is irreplaceable. In April of 2015, I began writing on the Scarlett Road recording reflections in order to let my “little” … Continue reading PRICELESS! IRREPLACEABLE!
His Desire for Me
So much of this earthly life is lived in limbo! Like when you are waiting nine months for a baby to be born, not to mention twenty-seven hours of labor to meet that new baby, like my youngest daughter pulled off! And almost as bad, is the waiting for text messages reassuring you everything is … Continue reading His Desire for Me
Airport Protocols
Not a good way to start the day off; I put the Southwest worker in a bad mood! He asked me to move aside twice. My boarding pass would not load, and then I brought up my hubby’s instead of mine. 🤦🏼♀️ As I smiled through his impatience, I wondered why ALL airports could not … Continue reading Airport Protocols
