When I Fail
When I fail. I'm tempted to run. To run back to the comfortable. The easy. To just stop and give up. To just say that I'm done. Worn out. Desperate. Tired. I want an escape. To get out. Away. To be still and to run at the same time. Time. It's what I need. Time …

To The Little Girl
To the little girl in the photo: Life will give you many twists and turns. The ride will sometimes be smooth and other times will be bumpy. You will face things that you never expected. You’ll learn that not everyone is who they appear. You’ll laugh. You’ll cry. You’ll scream. You’ll stand up and stand …

When The Memories Hurt
It's hard to share personal pieces of my life. There was a time when I was extremely private. I still am even though I share lots of my family and life moments through photos on social media. I share bits and pieces of myself with the world through this space here called Simple Truths. I …

Don’t Be A Blessing Robber
There are times when we least expect it that GOD reaches out and loves on us. We don't deserve it, none of us do, but HE freely gives us HIS LOVE. I don't know why it still shocks me sometimes... My FATHER GOD, HE loves me! So much that HE speaks to me in …

Reflections
Like a lot of others, as this year comes to an end, I am reflecting. Reflecting on the past year. The choices made. The changes that need to be made in the coming year. There is always room to grow. Room for improvement. We have never "arrived". We have to keep …

When You Go
We stood outside. Taking pictures with our cell phones before we went in to eat at the busy restaurant. Out of the corner of our eyes, we saw him. Long, scruffy looking beard. Hat on and carrying some plastic bags. Talking to random people in the parking lot. We assumed he just wanted money. We …

Being Real About Insecurity
I'm back!!!!! 🙂 As I was walking this morning through my neighborhood, I knew that I was supposed to share something today. I told you in my last post that I felt the nudge to be more TRANSPARENT and VULNERABLE with you all. So, here I am..and I hope this post blesses you. There is a …
