We tend to ask for and demand trust in relationships but we all know that trust is earned or gained over time. How contradictory to say in the same likeness "lie to me how you lie to them"?

Sometimes we can find ourselves blinded by the illusion of love but on the inside, we are empty or lacking, longing for something deeper. There will be a whisper or nudge to turn within for this type of love we're after. True fulfillment carries us beyond what a partner can offer. In the words of Tina Turner, "what's love got to do with it" especially when we're void of self-love. Allow us to dig...

Lord knows the strength, endurance, and courage it takes to stick it out with the one you love, and let's be honest, our loved ones especially!

We all have them, so why not be as transparent with the ones you can trust? Insecurities can sometimes expose the lack of trust and faith that we lack from within, so how can we trust others?

Not too safe at home has been the running theme of domestic Violence long before COVID-19.  More lives were taken due to domestic violence! 5 lives were taken due to domestic violence! There has to be LIGHT at the end of this dark tunnel. There have to be rainbows beyond the clouds. We will be intentional with that tone, the tone of HOPE, RESILIENCE, LOVE,  and FAITH that all things work...
