Why I’m Not A Racist
I was born in the late 1960’s to European parents. My parents were pureblooded Spaniards, but for all intents and purposes, acted “white”. I don’t recall when it was exactly that I was made to feel different, but what I do remember were these comments: “You must be from another planet.” “Why do you always […]

Love, Don’t Judge
I’ll be the first to admit, I am fed up with all the “holier than thou” Christians in this world, who point their fingers at everyone else around them. Do they know what it’s like to walk a mile in someone else’s shoes? Wouldn’t it be better to use their energy and focus on themselves? I never understood […]

Be The Church
In 1995, I had the pleasure of traveling to India. It was a dream come true for me. I had this romantic view of India, until I stepped off the plane and faced the reality of what real poverty looked like. When I arrived, I went from being ecstatic, to sad, to depressed in a […]

The Comparison Game
Isn’t it hard not to compare yourself to other people? I’ve struggled with comparing myself to others. But it’s like comparing apples and oranges. God created us to be exactly as we are. Comparing ourselves to other people isn’t positive or productive. The bible calls it coveting. We all seem to want what we “think” […]

Just Be Yourself
We are admonished and encouraged to be ourselves. Yet, a strange thing happens when we get involved in relationships. What was considered attractive, becomes unattractive. Where there were once praises, there are expletives. Those things which were adored, now are despised. Why is that? Suddenly, you are no longer able to be yourself, because being […]

One Reason Why Marriages Fail
There seems to be an epidemic with failed marriages. It’s not only happening in secular circles, but also in Christian ones too. I’m not a marriage expert. I only share things based on my own personal observation and experience. This famous expression holds true, Know Thyself. One of the reasons why marriages fail is because […]

Everyone Deserves A Second Chance
Last week I was on vacation. We were able to get away for a few days, which was nice. What I found interesting was that by changing my environment and routine, I was better able to connect with my creative side. I still woke up early for writing practice and as I wrote, ideas flooded […]

Precipice Of The Impossible
I am standing on a precipice of the impossible. On the edge, ready to free fall into the unknown. If you have been following my posts recently, you will know that I’ve been involved in advocating for someone who has been wrongfully convicted. I’m trying to help as best I can, but I am continually […]

Racism, Injustice and Innocence
Ever since I can remember, I’ve always had a thing about injustice. Especially racial injustice. I am against racism, prejudice, inequality and injustice that black and hispanics are faced with everyday. White people turn away and pretend it doesn’t exist, but it does. You would think in 2014 we would be past all this. But […]
