The Outliers

When analyzing data to interpret the relationship between any variables, data that exists outside of the acceptable range, is discarded. Its existence is considered too variable. Therefore, any time a possibility of something new and different occurs, it is in essence wiped from consideration. But….if there happens to be multiple pieces of data that fall within that same “outlier” range, it must…

Raising Awareness

Trigger alert: I tell my story, my family’s story, in hopes of raising awareness…. 14 years ago today, on my birthday, I got a phone call I will never forget. It was a call telling me my sister was dead. It is impossible to describe what it is like to lose a little sister. There are so many things I don’t know and never will….but, there are equally as many things that I do… I don’t know why it…

Life Gets Tricky

Life Gets TrickySome days life gets a little tricky.Instead of smooth sailing it ends up sticky. Some days it all seems so clear.Other days it is all one big blurry smear.

Some days our words flow clearly.Other days they hurt those we love…

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made?

Fearfully and Wonderfully Made? What Does It Mean that We are Fearfully Made?“Fearfully” indicates that creating life is a reverent, holy process. The word in Hebrew is yārē’. It is translated fearfully, but isn’t about being scared, but rather about being in the presence of what is sacred. This type of “fear” is like the sense of awe or astonishment that overcomes us in a magnificent cathedral,…

“It all started when…..”A little girl was walking down the beach….so, I am sure you have heard the story of the little girl throwing back the starfish that she found on the beach.

Poetry By “Keeping It Magical” Find this and more on our website!

To Catch A Falling StarWhen I watch the sky at night, I am dazzled by the stars so bright. As they sparkle and they shine, they tell a story of the Divine. A story of ages past, of space and time infinitely vast. I gasp when I see them fall, and ask how is it they seem so small.For if you caught a falling star, what you would catch is who you are. Reminders of our true worth, origins not of this…

Radically Changed

Radically Changed Some moments we experience,before and after so radically altered.Moments we must face our fears, bravely refuse to become faltered. Moments that can heal and fulfill,and validate us to the core, Moments when we remember,we are here for something more. Moments that we long for, but often must patiently wait.Moments that we pray for, and excitedly anticipate. Moments we’re…

I hope that you stay healthy and strong, enjoy the body you’ve been given. I hope you take the time…

Heart of Gold

Heart Of Gold!She came into my life unexpectedly, so young and beautiful, with a heart of gold.She played like a song deep in my soul, when God made her he must have broken the mold.She wasn’t like any other woman I had met before, she was beautiful, classy and wise.She looked at me with those mesmerizing eyes, and that’s all it took for my defense’s demise.She has an amazing way of understanding…
