A few days ago, I took my daughter to pick up her very first job application. With this came explanations on my end on how to fill it out, what the process looks like, and what to expect if she got a call (insert mom tears here that my baby is no longer a baby). … Continue reading Why Didn’t You Just Say That?

How Tight Is Your R.O.P.E.?
What is your thing? We all have one (or many). You know what I’m talking about. Those “things” that annoy us just enough to where they become core to our belief system. Tardiness. Excuses. Negativity. I admittedly struggle at times with accepting these characteristics from others, especially when they’re repetitive. Yet on the positive side … Continue reading How Tight Is Your R.O.P.E.?
My Own Miracle (MOM): A Different Perspective on Mother’s Day
Whether we think about it or not, Mother’s Day is often a day that can bring on an array of emotions for many people. With the flip of a channel, there’s no shortage of commercials with smiling moms receiving jewelry, cards, spa days, and flowers. What we sometimes forget through all the smiling faces on … Continue reading My Own Miracle (MOM): A Different Perspective on Mother’s Day
Does Your Front Match Your Back?
“How many of you act the same way all the time, no matter who you’re around?” This is one of my favorite class discussion questions I ask my students in my sociology class. In a class of about 200 students, I may have about only 10 or so students (if that) raise their hands. From there … Continue reading Does Your Front Match Your Back?
Personal Boundary…No Trespassing!
As funny as it may sound, a few of the things I think of when it comes to boundaries are the walls and fences at the zoo that keep us and the animals from getting too close to each other (God forbid!), a ball that crosses over a set line in most sports, and personal … Continue reading Personal Boundary…No Trespassing!
Say No to Mediocrity
Blame. Delays. Tardiness. Irresponsibility. No one wants to be defined by these words, but these are the words that come to my mind as I think through my past week. I think if I had a list of my top five least favorite things, moving would definitely be in there somewhere. There are obviously worst … Continue reading Say No to Mediocrity
Don’t Quit in the Middle
Being in the middle is uncomfortable. When you’re on the outside positions, you can stretch out, you can breathe, and you can clearly see what’s going on. When you’re in the middle, your view is sometimes blocked, things feel tight, and you just want to get out of this uncomfortable space as quickly as you … Continue reading Don’t Quit in the Middle
Call It What It Is
A quick click of the news this week no matter where you live, and I’m sure your tv (or iPhone) was filled with story after story of how our state of Texas experienced a winter storm that we were quite unprepared for. I’m not a cold weather type person at all (20 years in California … Continue reading Call It What It Is
On an Island of One
Often times when growing up and participating in certain extracurricular activities, I often found myself being the only African-American female is the group. Softball. Check. Piano Lessons. Check. Even at my very, very tiny high school, I was usually one of no more than two Black people (and that two included myself)! Some may not … Continue reading On an Island of One
Is It Time To Pop Your Bubble?
Have you thought about popping your bubble lately? One of the first things I often teach my students in my sociology courses is to understand perspective. In order to do this though, you have to willingly engage with people different than yourself. I’m not referring to people who may be toxic or unsafe. I’m talking … Continue reading Is It Time To Pop Your Bubble?
