• Unload the Baggage

  “Just want to say that it is refreshing to see you matriculating in the purpose and destiny that God has instilled in you and I am so encouraged to do the same as He is revealing things about me that I have never known as well as healing me from all my past issues that i never knew was hindering me in the spirit. I am truly breaking free. It is so amazing when I see his fingerprints on people [...]

• Be Free to Be You!

  Are you free to be yourself? Do you hesitate before saying what you really want to say in fear that someone may not like you afterward? How much of your life do you spend trying to please others? How hard do you have to work to stay in the “graces and favor” of other individuals because you are afraid that they won’t provide you with privileges anymore? It took me years to come to the place in my life that [...]

• What Makes You Happy?

  What would it take to make you extremely happy? Are you happy right now? What is happiness to you? It has a lot to do with perception. What makes one person happy may make another person totally miserable. It doesn’t take much to make me happy. A dinner at a restaurant with a wonderful friend, kind words from a loved one,  and watching the sunset are some things that make me happy.  But happiness is perceived from within the heart.  It’s [...]

• Is Love a Deep Well?

  It seems that the more love you give, the more love is needed. The more love you give that special person, the more love that special person continues to need and crave. Is love a deep well that can never be satisfied? What are your thoughts?

• Instructional Time

  A close friend brought it to my attention last night that I stay up late and she made a joke that I need to stay off of the caffeine. (you know who you are) I responded to her by telling her that it was a “musician thing”. Many of my musician friends are up late sometimes because of inspirational melodious revelations. I also commented to her that it might be a challenge for someone to marry this [...]

• Reflections from 2009

  How do you feel about how this year has gone by? Think about the good things that you enjoyed this year including blessings, good connections with friends and family, and things that made you happy. Also think about the things that made you sad, things that didn’t agree with you and think about the mistakes that you made. Did you learn from the mistakes? How have you grown from the good and the bad experiences? What would you like [...]

• Unforgiveness

  One of my close friends told me years ago that she married the man of her dreams. One day in a heated argument, he called her a “No Good B****”. She told me that it took years to forgive him. She never saw him the same way again. That comment ate away at her heart and caused bitterness. In fact I don’t think that she ever forgave him. It made her married life difficult because she kept connecting everything to [...]

• Peculiar Beings

  “Musicians are peculiar beings. Because of the musical gifts that have been placed in their souls from birth, they sometimes see and hear interpretations of life in the form of dimensions. If you are married to or dating a musician, do not feel left out when your musician begins to “zone out” into seasons of revelation and enlightenment. You are not being rejected or ignored, it’s just the gift at work.” – Patrice Tankard

• Physical Healing

  Today I am very grateful for healing.  When I was a child, I was diagnosed with Asthma. It was so bad that I couldn’t walk two steps without running out of breath. I was not able to participate in the Physical Education classes at school. The illness was so intense and debilitating that I  had to be placed in Vapor Tents. One day I found myself at a Tent Revival, the preacher prayed for me and I was instantly healed. [...]
