Kate said, “WHO.” Good word prompt for a five minute write especially after working weeks and weeks on our family memoir with my sister. WHO, happens to be celebrating her birthday today! Happy and blessed day, Sestra. There are so many WHO’s in my story. Those WHO influenced my life greatly. Number one in that… [Read More]

Five Minute Friday: PRAISE
Kate said, “PRAISE!” Kudos to Kate for her awesome graphics and today’s? Psalm 91? My favorite! Good work, Kate Motaung! But saying it isn’t enough – is it? I don’t know about you, but I am a PRAISEr – a big time, holy-roller, Pentecostal praise the Lord kind of woman. There’s nothing shy or introverted… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: POTENTIAL
Kate said, “POTENTIAL.” Tricky word, potential. We all have it. But we all don’t use it. As I went through the clicks to get here and begin typing my mind was processing the word. I don’t allow myself to mull over it overnight – like an aged apple cider. I want the words fresh pressed…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: CROWD
Kate said, “CROWD.” Great word – love ’em or hate ’em? My friend Kitty draws energy from people. If she is alone too much? She feels lethargic and almost depressed. So, when that happens she goes out into public, not necessarily a big crowd but somewhere people are. Crowds deplete me. It’s as though someone… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: RAIN
Kate said, “RAIN.” Here in Statesville, NC, we need some. We lived in the mountains of northwest North Carolina, in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Mountain Range – also known as the eastern Rain Forest, for thirty years. And, it rained all the time. We went days without seeing the sun and for… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: RUSH
Kate said, “RUSH.” The image immediately brought back memories of Havana, Cuba, April 1999. I had the privilege and blessing of going on a ten-day medical mission trip to deliver basic medical needs to a church there. While there, I also delivered a much-needed gently used wheelchair to my daughter’s-in-love grandma. My daughter-in-love, and her… [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: WOMAN
Just yesterday morning this word was spoken out of my mouth in positive fashion. Hubs didn’t walk with me so I did an in-town 30 minute brisk walk. Now that we live downtown, in a second floor flat, I walk with a lanyard-type necklace with our key attached, the car key is on there too…. [Read More]
Five Minute Friday: anniversary
Kate said, “Anniversary.” Seems a strange word to write a five-minute essay on, doesn’t it? Unless you’re having one. anniversary, that is. There are anniversaries of all sorts of things. Happy things. Sad things. Silly things. Spiritual things. I remember dates. Therefore, I have a lot of “anniversaries” floating in my internal computer. Even a… [Read More]
