A Woman’s Choice | Jackie | Used of God

Only the self righteous know better how to live amongst the living? 
...
Options are not just practical considerations for the unwilling. They are spiritual.









 Namaste.  


 Anyone can teach you about love. I can make you good at it.

My Magic Cornbread | Soul Foodie


In the south cornbread represents the soul of the dinner table. Magic happens when cornbread appears. And I - - just hate making cornbread. From scratch or jiffy-wise. 

 “Oh well.” She said when I told her I didn’t make any with the rest of the regale I conjured in less than an hour.  I do cook fast. 

My cooking techniques are fused with magic and.. focus. I’m usually starving when I cook and this kitchen gets really hot. I don’t rush. I just create with intention. Because cornbread is not my favorite and I don’t have to have it with every spread, it feels wasteful of my last two Junius Heights eggs and the cow’s milk reserved for recipes that need milk. But my mother loves her some cornbread. With everything. I was hoping beyond hope that she wouldn’t mind that I didn’t make any with dinner this time. I’m ready to eat!


Situation number 9. See Jackie show some  love. She makes the cornbread. But differently.. WAITWHUT!? and Mother should like it. A little bit of this and this and that.. and especially that! - ingredients not customary for cornbread around here... poof! Jackiesmagic ðŸª„ cornbread.


My relationship to Source, God, Universe, Creator.. reminds me to remember my relationship with my earthly mother and all that’s she does for me. -Just this morning she woke me up from a deep sleep to ask me if I wanted her to cook me an egg. My “No thanks” response was code for “no ma I’m alive.” While cornbread is trivial food to me, it’s soul food for her. And I loved making it tonight.   ðŸ˜‹ y’all! it smells good in here! 


AND stay tuned for more food posts and videos. 



Anyone can teach you about love. I can make you good at it.

Adventure | Climb 2018

The fact of the matter is, my inner child is always the one running my show.  Even when I am seriously engaged in work or other serious life stuff, the activity is motivated by my inner desire to have fun.. doing whatever it is I am doing.  So.. out of my desire to produce a short video reading of a "trees" essay I wrote for an Arts course last year, and in honor of the recent launch of the website:  throughdarknesstolight.com, featuring Photographs Along the Underground Railroad, by Dallas photographer, Jeanine Micha-Bales, I decided I'd climb a tree.

I scoped locations for a couple of weeks. I thought I'd found the perfect one:  On federal government land. After giving it a little thought; I'd rather not make Fox4 News .. again.  I knew I'd end up in Tietze Park in Dallas.  They've got beautifully-weird-looking lovely old trees.


I hope you'll be inspired to .. go climb a tree! Fly a kit.. Skateboard.. Ride a bike.. Something wild, not mild.. Something suitable for your own inner child.
