10 years sober!
Whew! I am 10 years sober, this 10th day of January 2024!     When I look back to that day in 2014 when I made up my mind to leave alcohol in my past, A big smile forms on my entire face. At one point in time, I honestly thought I would end this “trial”!     As I have always said in the years before today commemorating this landmark, Choosing the life of being sober is no joke! You are…

I want more women ordained!
What is wrong with a woman leading us at prayers at the church or mosque? Do our prayers go to hell when a woman leads us in prayer?

It is better to do today than regret not having done at all!

You may only live in complete regret for not having done something; what could have been or what could not have been!   Photo credit: Kids of Uganda    Regret is a jail cell.

Road carnage from alcohol use is for all of us!
I don’t know about you but I long to be like the President. The President is always moved around and protected by an army of people. They don’t get to use the streets like we do and most certainly, they don’t suffer from road carnage because their entire path is cleared out for them! Now, the rest of us get to live with the dangerous risk of walking the streets where we meet all kinds of drivers…

What has not been written about?
A few moments ago, I thought to myself, “What has not been written about”?   Photo credit: Minutes   We are so many that write. We are from all over the world. We all have life experiences of our own. We write about numerous things in life.   But what has not been written about? I am certain that there are things we have not penned down before! Don’t you think so? Haven’t you ever thought so?

Our intersection.
Hey you, Do you recall your math lessons of “sets”? There was that point in between several or a few sets or what we used to call “circles”, where they all met. We used to call it the “intersection”, right?   Photo credit: StudyPug   In my adult life, I have come to realize that we all have that one point or points where we intersect with other people. But even before that, we have all these…

One comment stuck with me and it is, “We don’t look for…

We can all fit in this world mathematically!
Why are we so intolerant of one another and yet, we can all fit in this world mathematically? When I say this, I mean it literally and metaphorically.   Photo credit: Guardian   This is a thought that crossed my mind on Sunday. I believe it was after I had seen so much negativity and division amongst people of a given race and culture. This prompted me to draw out my browser and calculator, to…
