Sometimes exhaustion is the first step forward.

Sometimes exhaustion is the first step forward.

Have you ever been tired? I mean tired to the bone? I had an unsettling conversation with a friend at lunch this week. At some point she stopped eating and said, “Tyra I am exhausted! I am tired of being tired.” When she did, I could actually feel her pain. I sat silent remembering those words coming from my own mouth a few years ago. She went on to say that she didn’t know why she was so miserable. She loved teaching at the community college, even though she no longer had time to write poetry, which was her passion.…

Do you have a special needs child?

Do you have a special needs child?

My friend does. As I watched her accept the news and then wait, I realized what a wonderful person she was. She defined her special child as a “priceless blessing” and she was the perfect steward. I wanted to support her in every possible way. I needed more information. I was inspired by the following article from a mother raising a child with intellectual disabilities. Emily Perl Kingsley wrote this article to provide an encouraging and alternative perspective. It reads: WELCOME TO HOLLAND “I am often asked to describe the experience of raising a child with a disability – to…

Are you Daddy’s little girl?

Are you Daddy's little girl?

I’m writing this on my Daddy’s birthday. He died in 1976. Each year I write him a letter on his birthday. I celebrate his ongoing encouragement that helped me walk into my purpose. Today I write to you about him. Maybe you will find your father somewhere in what I am about to say. I hope that you can appreciate that even as a mature woman, I have moments when I feel like Daddy’s Little Girl. I discovered that Daddy had special insight about how to nurture me through difficulties as well as help me dwell in possibilities. I did…

Who is the person sitting next to you?

Who is the person sitting next to you?

Have you ever sat on a plane or in a park, or at a meeting and wondered “Who is the person sitting next to you?” You can see how tall she is and the color of her hair or skin. You may have heard her in conversation with someone that helped you discover more. But just imagine that nine-tenths of her possibilities have not yet been touched off. There is all kind of “good” that is struggling to be born from way inside. There are also worries, fears, doubts, that are wondering how to be expressed. Deep within her is…

Forgiveness will break your fall.

Forgiveness will break your fall.

When I answered the phone he said, “I’m sorry. Please forgive me.” His voice and his words brought back a flood of memories and emotions. It had been three years. When we met I was working on temporary assignment in California. We had a wonderful two weeks. We said goodbye at the airport with the promise of an upcoming summer visit. All plans were final for our next adventure and I was so excited. He would pick me up at the airport at the appointed time and we would continue to explore our budding relationship. At the appointed time, he…

God is an efficiency expert.

God is an efficiency expert.

Did you know that God is an Efficiency Expert? My attention was drawn to the conference room door. She entered so regally dressed in her country’s ethnic attire that her petite frame appeared seven feet tall. Her bright almond shaped eyes were wide with anticipation. Her lying smile said, “I am so glad to be here.” She was one of the guest speakers for the leadership program day entitled: “Living below the Poverty Line.” One of the program committee members ushered her to a seat next to me. I was her host until her time to speak. I smiled a…

Where is the love you said you would give to me?

Where is the love you said you would give to me?

I have a confession to make. I’m a romantic. I grew up listening to “happily ever after” stories. I believed the lyrics of the sixties love songs. My prince charming rode his white horse through my dreams at night. And I used to write to him in my journal. When I did marry, I found out that those love songs were about someone else’s dreams. To come true would take two willing people and a lot of blessings to fulfill their promise. I stayed in my marriage too long after I realized it would not be a happily ever after…

God’s lost and found.

God's lost and found.

Have you ever had a song take up residence in your head and come out to play on occasion for no apparent reason? One day you start humming it and you can’t stop. Recently I had the same experience; not with a song but with these seven words: “I thought I was the only one”. Hearing them again caught me off guard. I was attending a women’s conference. In the morning session we formed small groups around tables to discuss this question, “What barriers are keeping you from living your best life, the life you dream of having?” We were…

You are not alone.

You are not alone.

Let me ask you this. Do you feel like you are created for more, but somehow are stuck in a place that won’t let you get there? Perhaps you doubt that freedom and deliverance are available to you. My friend, you are not alone! It took me a lifetime to look in the mirror, linger and feel right about who was looking back. I have faced these questions up close and personal. For many years I was successful by external standards, yet I didn’t feel worthy or at peace inside. Sometimes I felt confused and disconnected. I struggled with demons…
