Fancy Footwork

People walk in and out of our lives but few people leave footprints on your heart.

Orlando and Tarassa (my beautiful baby sister)

Dr. James Dobson once said, "Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without." That's what my sister did and I'm very happy for her. Her husband is a great guy and it is evident that they are the best of friends.

Life's Sweet Rewards

Confessions of an Older Sister

I have a baby sister that I was rather mean to during childhood. She was the ugly duckling in my life that has grown up to be a beautiful swan. What I love about redemption is that God restores. Growing up I was so busy being a sister to my friends that I did a poor job at being a friend to my sister.

A note from Naima

I'm sorry I can't be with you,
But I'm very busy you see,
Painting my eyes, my cheeks, my hair,
So mother will be proud of me.
I'm sending this little message,
To convey to you this thought,
The Stork will soon have left me,
To use the gifts you brought.
Be sure to come and see me,
As soon as I get here,
Just give mother time,
To dress me ever so dear.
And so I Thank You from my heart,
For each lovely gift for me,
For when the Stork leaves me with mother,
I'll not be dressed you see.
