I shouldn't have to say this, but I hear it a lot so...please, beloveds, do not use reading as a punishment. Kiddos should not experience reading as a consequence. Reading should be connected with joy.

That was hard to understand as a child. But his sobriety is not my responsibility. I could never be good enough or smart enough to compete with mental illness and addiction.

He is not a "fun" drunk. Some of the most awful memories of my childhood come from his drinking. However, he was an AMAZING dad when he was sober. He loves me. But I learned that his love for me wasn't enough to keep him sober.

My father is an alcoholic and is bipolar. I've been in minimal contact for a couple of mths because a serious boundary was breeched. He texted the other day to tell me that he's going back into intense treatment for mental health and addiction. That was the vest Christmas gift.

Sunday School at 9:30. Morning service at 11. Sun dinner in the annex then 3:30 service. If I couldn't get a ride home, then evangelistic service at 7. Sat morning choir rehearsal, Wed Bible Study. Then revivals, convocations, and shut ins. Current church, one 75 min service.
It’s crazy when I hear people say a 2 hour church service is too long. Y’all fasho didn’t grow up going to revivals and shut ins 😂😂😂 cuz a 2 hour service is a BREEEEZEEEEE

I woke mine up at 10:30 by blasting "Jesus is the Reason" by Kirk and nem as I barged in their rooms.
I do miss my kids being little and waking up excited to open gifts. They wake up at 11 am now.

They met at a wedding on May 5th, 1973. I was born on May 5th, 1977.
Do most people know how their parents met?

11 years ago, I was honored by @dcpublicschools as highly effective educator. My career in the district took some twists and turns, but this night, in my pretty gold dress and royal blue pumps, was a highlight.

A few weeks ago, I had to have a sobering conversation w/my mom about the internet and fraud. She had a scary run-in that could have ended a lot differently, but I was able to stop any damage. She's used to being very aware, and this scared her and me. So check on your elders.

Donnie has seen so much. I need this documentary.
It’s heartbreaking 💔 to learn that the legendary @QuincyDJones has passed. He was #TheDude and there will never be another one like him. Thank you for the music, encouragement, and friendship Q. I’m so honored to have known you. RIP my brother. 🙏🏽🕊️

We need more C&I programs. We also need more C&I programs at HBCUs.
Dear colleges of higher education, I am BEGGING you to have Ed. D.'s that don't have the word 'leadership' in them. I want to be a better teacher...not get out of the classroom. Sincerely, Classroom teachers everywhere
