  • The Call

    You hear it screaming in your head. It is the call to action. Yet, you shrink and shirk the responsibility. You are afraid of what answering that call might mean. You know that it is for you. Every direction that you turn, evidence of that call exists. Yet, you fail to acknowledge it and take…

  • Religion

    I tiptoe around directly speaking of religion. It is not because I do not believe. It probably is because I do believe. In fact, I believe very strongly. I will also say, it was not always easy. It was not always so heartfelt. It was not always my decision to participate. In fact, I strayed…

  • Pillars

    We work our lives to establish pillars to support the buildings in which we dwell, those in which we work, and even those in which we eat, drink and shop. Have you ever considered the pillars that we build to support our lives? What do these pillars look like? Are they people or actions? Are…

  • Conversations

    Are you ready for the conversation? You know the conversation. It is going to be difficult. It is going to be very difficult and if held properly move emotions to the extreme. So, it could be loud. It could be an argument. It could offend. But it must happen. We must find a solution to…

  • Done enough?

    I found a memory today on Facebook. The memory focused on the NCAA March Madness from 2021 when the inequity of the facilities for the teams competing in the Men’s and Women’s tournament. The article I posted that day redirected my friends to a quote from Dawn Staley, Head Coach, University of South Carolina Women’s…
