If we will be effective in spiritual warfare, the first field of conflict where we must learn warfare is the battle ground of the mind: i.e., the ‘place of the skull” To defeat the devil, we must be crucified in the place of the skull. We must be renewed in the spirit of our minds.
Gracious Father, you have called me out of darkness into you marvelous light, and for this I give you thanks and praise. Please continually crucify my old ways that I might be born afresh of your spirit, always and in everything, to the glory of your name. Amen
I live. I love. I laugh. I learn.
And when life tries to knock me down?
I get back up — with a little more sparkle and a whole lot more fight.
I’m a free spirit — bold, independent, and just the right amount of wild.
I started this blog years ago to spill my thoughts about everyday life…
and then life said, “Oh, you want stories? Let’s give you some.”
Since then, I’ve survived more battles than I ever signed up for — including a coma caused by Sickle Cell Disease, brain trauma, and enough storms to flood a lifetime.
But guess what? I’m still standing. Still smiling. Still speaking my truth.
This space isn’t just about surviving — it’s about thriving, even when the odds aren’t pretty.
It’s about healing out loud. It’s about living with fire, laughing through tears, and learning that scars don’t steal your shine — they amplify it. If you’re here for real talk, raw strength, and a reminder that you’re not alone — welcome to my world.
Pull up a chair. You’re in good company.
I LIVE LOVE LAUGH LEARN – the only way I know how to survive this life! I am a free-spirited, independent, or uninhibited person. I began this blogging journey years ago for sharing my thoughts on everyday life. Since then, so much has happened including me being in a coma because of Sickle Cell with brain damage and extreme trials in life. I am still struggling, but I feel someone can be motivated through my journey, thoughts, feelings, and life.
