Blog postThese are tough times to live in. Though Justice has stopped, other things must go on. Our children must go to school. We must earn a living. We still get married, without a big wedding. Birthdays and anniversaries come and go – perhaps celebrated in a chat room or live streamed. Life goes on, but it looks and feels different from anything else we’ve experienced before.
Justice is strapped to the hospital bed. We’re doing our best to pump life back into her veins. She’s in a coma; abo -
Blog postLynching Version 2.0
Knee on my neck a modern noose
Passive bystanders watching, recording, ignoring
Dignity cracked to pieces; faded fast into the trees
Pressed hard; viciously like my cheek in the pavement
Tears evaporated
Breath dissipated
Until breath was no more
A divine expansion
Spirit flown into the arms of my mother
Her name trembling against my thick brown lip -

One of the difference between being religious and being spiritual is that religious people feel an overwhelming urge to “check off the boxes”. In the business world, to “check off the boxes” is a well-known catch phrase for pointing out superficiality.
This is to say…we’ve taken an action, when the reality is the action resulted in no change. A little more than a waste of our time. Something we do when we’re not serious about being honest wit -
Blog post~*Earth*~
The earth is alive
Her heart is the heated core
Skin, cool soil
Grass, the thin hair of her arms
We are the microorganisms
Sometimes we do right by her
Other times we don’t
And she flushes us away in floods
Warps us with disease
Or rips us apart with hurricanes
Her antibiotics
Destroying us all, good and bad
Like bacteria
We’ve -

You only need to be one step ahead of someone to help them.
No matter your situation, there’s always someone both worse off and faring better than you.
Are you able to earn an income during this pandemic? Are you forced to go to work despite the risks in order to pay your bills? Are you fortunate enough to have saved resources to weather this storm?
There will always be a time of plenty and a time of scarcity. Why haven’t all of -

Blog postButterface by Avery Flynn centers around the very independent heroine, Gina Luca. Bullied terribly in her youth because of her facial features, she’s built up a coping mechanism to deal with the post-traumatic memories haunting her. Nevertheless, the pain of her past doesn’t keep her from a fulfilling life with friends and family. She also…

Blog postKiss Me Again by Garrett Leigh is a worthy choice if you thrive on slow-burning MM romance with complex characters and heavy angst.
When it comes to romance, I’m an impatient reader who likes feel-good stories with a touch of humor and captivating writing. You know – the kind that pulls you in and never let’s go? I didn’t get that from Kiss Me Again. Instead, I experienced an intense, harsh love story following two soulmates as broken emotionally as they were medically – Ludo is bi-po -

Blog postRenewal is natural. Like the rise and fall of the seasons. Like the tide that rides high and then low. Renewal of the spirit is a necessity.
It’s written that even the Blessed Radiance that some call God rested on the 7th day after creating our world. If someone as omnipotent and powerful as God needed to rest, why aren’t you?
I consider self-care as a spiritual practice. An exercise of my faith that puts body and spirit at such a priority that it must be honored – with Rest. -
Blog postThere is so much hatred in our world that we will throw battery acid in the face of a stranger without provocation. Regardless of which “side” you’re on, everyone feel’s they’re the victims. Justice is in the eyes of the beholder.
Forcing girls to bleed through their clothes while on their menses is justified because it will deter other women from seeking asylum or otherwise immigrating to the United States. Not allowing felons who served their time to qualify for food stamps or vote -
