On my 3rd wedding anniversary to my first husband, we didn't do anything. I was pregnant and we had a 2 year old, so we ordered a pizza and stayed home. He said "We'll do it big next year." He died two days later. I always do things big now. You may not get another chance.

Seriously why y’all birthdays mean so much to y’all? I don’t get it! Is it because when y’all was supposed to celebrate them in early years of your life your parents didn’t and now you gotta go all out every year to make up for that Shìt?

Many people are missing the point with Christianity. Jesus never forced people to follow him, or pray with him, or serve him. He gently bid them to come. He didn’t become the president and force people to follow his way.

As a Black girl growing up in the 80s and 90s, there were ZERO Disney characters who even slightly resembled me, and yet, the cartoon "The Little Mermaid" is my favorite Disney princess film. If millions of Black kids had to watch and accept being LEFT OUT, why can't you?

It is very toxic to believe that you cannot vent to God. Venting, crying, shaking my fists in the air, screaming to God and having God respond to me with peace and love washing over me is how I made it through my 1st husband’s death. It’s how my faith was strengthened.
