Minding the Grief Gap

Four years ago, my daddy passed away. It feels like yesterday and forever at the same time. I distinctly remember getting a phone call repeatedly - from a number that I didn't recognize - and upon answering, being asked to confirm my identity and then being told…

Parenting: The Ultimate Humility Builder

I'm closing in on 9 years as a parent and 3 years as a parent of two, and if there's one thing I know for sure it's that parenting is the ultimate humility builder. I have done many things in my life, and arguably, have done them reasonably well. I think…

Tips for Reading More: Some Insights from My Journey

Last week, I shared that I'm on a journey to read more as a way of reconnecting to something that I love and used to do a lot of. I shared this on Instagram and asked my followers a few questions - and got some great insight about how much…

My Journey to Reading More Books in 2025 I am a LOVER of books, and would previously have considered myself to have been an avid reader. Over time, reading books shifted to reading blogs and newspaper articles; and while I would still read some each day, it wasn't the same experience of my childhood and adolescent years of being lost in a book. I'll add that I think the process of reading for graduate school and my dissertation took away some of the joy of reading, as I needed to keep up the pace necessary to finish.

There is no evidence to support that…hence my on the verge of hollering 😂😂😂

I mean…that’s fair.

If it makes you feel any better, we’re also trying to potty train a 3 year old who uses the bathroom regularly at school and NEVER at home.

And by never, I mean- peed in 3 pairs of underwear even after we took him to potty in 30 minute intervals.

It’s terrible.

Why is one of these questions, “Which of the following is a reasonable mass for a pencil?”

A: 15 grams
B: 150 grams
C: 500 grams
D: 2000 grams

I am wondering what I missed in my own schooling because I have no idea…

I am not built for this. I literally just said, “Bruh, this is YOUR homework!”

Are you praying?!

Helping my 3rd grader with his math homework and trying so hard not to be like, “IF JOHNNY HAS FIVE APPLES…”, but whewwwwwww…

- Survived - especially after a rough end to 2023.
- Led the relaunch of our church's major outreach initiative
- Led a big PD at work (and got great reviews)
- Prioritized health and exercise

Reflecting on Growth: Embracing 2025 with Purpose

And just like that, we're at the beginning of a new year. When I think about my kids, I frequently think, "The days are long, but the years are short." At each point, I marvel at how fast they are growing, meeting and exceeding milestones, and…

Everything’s a Christmas gift right now, anyway?!

This might have just convinced me to order!

Trevor Etienne: “This is why you come to Georgia!”

Yessir! #GoDawgs

This! I had to mute some people because it would infuriate me to see them and their mediocrity moonlighting as an expert.

Not my child watching me prepare food for dinner asking me to prepare food for dinner.

These folks and these flags. Smh.

I spent all my cares last night soooo…

We just finished Timid- he really enjoyed it: a.co/d/aqt5mt4 (buy from elsewhere, though)

This is incredible! Thank you! 🫶🏾

Thank you! I will definitely check!

I got a few more years to go and that shall be my testimony 😂😂😂

Sir. This anti-Georgia rhetoric is dangerous and problematic.
