G.O.S.S.I.P. Sister

There has been some devastating losses in the Oklahoma City & Langston University community. I am at a loss for words by the special people we have lost (2 of which that I was afforded the opportunity to know personally), but keep in mind, they have gone home to be with our King & Savior- [...]

The Bittersweet reality of life is that while it may be good, it never seems quite as sweet as someone else’s. The grass always appears greener on the other side…Much more flourishing; does it not? I do believe that there are some very content and happy people in the world who have learned to live [...]

I found some tips on how to bounce back from sadness, heartbreak, depression, disappointments, and aaaaaany of those things that come along in our lives and cause destruction. When typically we feel the need to run from what ill feelings we have, or stay in a denial state about it- here we are told to [...]

I didn’t know how else to put the title, so I just did so very bluntly & obvious! Ha! While the world will NOT be coming to an end tomorrow (May 21, 2011), for no one knows the day, nor the time, nor the hour, nor the year… I want to indulge in the hoopla [...]

I believe that we all are dealt our circumstances to build our character and to learn a valuable lesson. God just doesn’t allow things to happen without purpose in our life. In destruction there is construction for our lives.

For Black History Month (BHM) I will be updating my Facebook status randomly to reflect a Black History fact. I started off with Emmitt Till’s death. Miss Gossip has honored BHM with fast facts about innovators in our Black culture; that’s beautiful and inspiring. However, I am going to enlighten, and hopefully inspire, in a [...]
