Calm lake at sunrise with mist, dock, and boat by forested mountains
A serene sunrise illuminates a mist-covered lake with a boat tied to a wooden dock.

Sometimes in life we are overcome with stresses.  Some situations are good stresses but stresses nonetheless.  Other times we have negative stresses, and it is usually those situations that make us feel helpless and hopeless.  It is then when I am gently reminded of  the ” Serenity Prayer.”  Therefore, I am sharing the prayer with hope that it will find a way into stressful lives to make a difference.

The Serenity Prayer

God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change; courage to change the things I can; and wisdom to know the difference.

Living one day at a time; enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardships as the pathway to peace; taking, as He did, this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that He will make all things right if I surrender to his Will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supermely happy with Him forever and ever in the next. Amen

Welcome. I’m so glad you’re here.

This is a space for the ‘unspoken’ stories. As a Black woman who has journeyed through childhood trauma and family alienation to find healing in God’s grace, I know what it’s like to feel lost in the shadows.

But I also know the light on the other side. Today, my life is a testimony of prayer, the joy of a second chance in marriage, and the strength of a heart reclaimed by faith. Whether you are healing from the past, navigating a diverse family, or deepening your walk with God—you are not alone. Let’s walk this path together.
