“A chaque oiseau, son nid est beau.” Translation “To every bird, its own nest is beautiful.” Little quotes you find in New Orleans years ago that earn meaning with gained perspective. I’ve been in hundreds, maybe even thousands of homes throughout my career. The one thing I’ve noticed in every price point is the amountContinue reading “Home is Different for Everyone”

What do you give up to be loved?
Being a codependent is real. It’s crippling and something to not get confused with being a good parent, lover, or friend. If you give up little pieces of yourself and redirect a well thought out plan for your life for companionship, you’ve chosen the wrong company. We are meant to love, but we are notContinue reading “What do you give up to be loved?”
If Conflict was a Toothache…
If we get a toothache, we know to go to the dentist to treat it. We all know a toothache is something you can’t ignore because we all know it’ll just get worse and worse if you do.

Timeline of Regret

My grandmother told me years ago that women are the ones who keep the big families together. She went on to say “Don’t you think my sisters and I got into it? Sure we did.

I think that’s a good emotion, having a conscience and all. I would feel safe saying that most crappy people know they do crappy things and don’t care andContinue reading “The devil Doesn’t Go After What He Already Has”
Actions & Reactions Matter
Ignoring guilt that leads to correction is turning a slip into a fall. We must realize our actions have a ripple effect because we don’t sin in a vacuum & a “whatever” attitude will cause us to fall short in our relationships. It’s healthy to imagine how our actions will impact others & react accordingly,Continue reading “Actions & Reactions Matter”
Don’t Make it Worse
All day I’d rather be the one getting hurt than the one doing the hurting because there’s something to be said for being the stone and not the stepper. Standing out doesn’t always mean being the loudest. Sometimes standing out just means standing up for what you know in your heart is good to doContinue reading “Don’t Make it Worse”
