Nothing like an ignorant tweet to get me riled up. Most people that know me know I hardly ever get mad. However, my love & protection of family, loved ones and particularly children can put me on guard and in “mommy” mode leading me to get pretty pissed when those I care about are attacked. […]
Well, I had plenty of time waiting in the police station to think about this one. I wasn’t sure how or if to share this, as it took a while to set it, but as in many circumstances there are lessons, moments of clarity, and opportunities to bless someone else. Yesterday with it being sunny […]
So I know I didn’t post to F7LN last week. It’s not that I didn’t want to. I usually post based on things I feel led or inspired to share and there wasn’t anything I seemed to be moved to post. I even got a little bothered in trying to, but as I’ve come to […]
As we celebrate the birthday of a phenomenal man, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., there is so much we can take from the example he was, his life, and what he stood for. He was a person who stood for justice, equality, peace, and so much more. At different stages of my own life, there […]

I thought this would be an appropriate post with all this talk about 12/21/12. No, I don’t necessarily believe the world will end today, because no one knows what day or time that will take place. I did decide to re-read Matthew 24 to reflect on, in part “No one knows about that day or […]
For those that may not know or have forgotten how to pray, for those that need a word of healing, comfort, and understanding, for those that may need an answer, something that touches them in a powerful way, but most important because of the power of prayer, I share lifting up these words… Dear gracious […]
To the fathers, sons, brothers, nephews, uncles, grandpas, husbands, boyfriends, friends, mentors…Last week I wrote this simple letter to express love and appreciation of Black men and recorded it, and I decided to share it with you… Spoken over two beautiful piano pieces, the music of: ‘De Novo Adagio’ by Alicia Keys (off her “Girls […]
