Fighting words
As a younger kid in school, I didn’t get into trouble, nor was I a problem child, but most of my peers were. Granted, I’ve had a few spats or disagreements, but not to the extent I was willing to be kicked out of school for it. Almost every time I turned around, someone was…

Tired of showing up
I have a mental health wellness journal, where I record my thoughts, feelings, and overall daily self-care. One of the things in particular the journal asks is, “What is something good that happened today?” I always avoid this question, because for the most part, things have not been that good for me, as of late.…

Stay right there
A woman I’ve been knowing for a very long time, had issues with management at her previous job. Having received no complaints from customers, management, or staff, she presumed she was doing a job well done. A year into her role, issues arose, which quickly caused her eyebrows to raise. Within months, she was targeted,…

Tag team
Am I the only one who loved watching WWE? I’m sure I’m not alone on this. My favorite wrestler then, and even now, is the Undertaker! Not only was his wrestling moves fire, but so was his intro. Seriously, who do you know would show up to a fight, in a casket? Aside from his…

One more fight
I know a young lady who’s had trouble to follow her all the days of her life. While most of it stems from her childhood, her adult years hasn’t been that great either. Although she’s had moments of joy and laughter, now there appears to be no happiness at all. Every time I see her,…

Giant Faith
I’m pretty sure everyone is familiar with the story of David and Goliath. I’ve heard and read it countless of times, and every time I heard it, it gave me two things I needed most, courage and faith. Some of my biggest life experiences have been on the leveling field of David affronting Goliath, but…

The Good Fight
When I was younger, I didn’t get into a lot of trouble, although my peers constantly seemed to find it. They were suspended or disciplined for fighting, but I shied away from it. I won’t paint the picture to reflect that I was a “goody two shoes,” but I will say that I wasn’t much…

Get it back
Have you lost your drive? Get it back! Been robbed of your joy? Get it back! Had your smile taken away? Get it back! Are you missing your confidence? Get it back! Someone stole your peace of mind? GO GET IT BACK! A lot of times people will let things go, because it didn’t have…

Living with lions
Sometimes I feel like Daniel in the lion’s den. Wrongfully convicted and thrown away, waiting to be devoured. I’ve often questioned, what have I done wrong, or where did things go wrong, because in my eyes, I thought I was doing everything right! Yet and still, I continue to wonder, while trying everything possible to…

Fight song
I have a huge and deep appreciation for basketball and college football! I love watching sports, but what I love even more, is the drive and ambition the players have. Week after week, they endure hits, injuries and losses, yet they continue to show up and perform. Are you one of those people? No matter…
