It was such a gift to learn how to make this spinach & peanut stew years ago when I first married my husband who is from Chad, Africa.  Over the shoulder of my sister-in-law, I learned the basic foundation for ...

MY INSTA-HAPPENINGS

“When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we f “When day comes we ask ourselves, where can we find light in this never-ending shade? The loss we carry, a sea we must wade. We’ve braved the belly of the beast, we’ve learned that quiet isn’t always peace and the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice. And yet the dawn is ours before we knew it, somehow we do it, somehow we’ve weathered and witnessed a nation that isn’t broken but simply unfinished.” -The Hill We Climb 
-Amanda C. Gorman

As a writer, I was empowered by the way the arts participated in representing and reflecting our country at this crucial moment. Thank you @amandascgorman 

Growing up in countries where elections inevitably led to violence, this moment of civic celebration was precious for me. 

As a mother of a multi-ethnic family my heart burst with pride this week. The idea that my children could see their dreams lived out on our biggest stage gave me goose bumps. 

And for anyone who has invested her Saturday, and her hard earned money to wash, detangle, set, braid or dry or twist —can we just raise our hands at the fierce expression of femininity that happened too! #naturalhairlove #everystorymatters #creativitymatters #wespeakforthosewhohavenovoice #youcantbewhatyoucantsee #weneeddiversebooks #weneedhope #hallelujahhands
"Where are we going? Look around the bend. We've o "Where are we going? Look around the bend.
We've only just begun, this isn't our journey's end.
The way may not be easy, the day may seem long. 
The path may seem dark, as if each turn were wrong.
The canyon may be narrow, the water cold and deep. 
The waves may break over us, but at the helm we keep.
For the Navigator has charted our course and carefully planned our way. 
So we'll keep our eyes on Him, and in the boat we'll stay. 
He'll lead us throug the storm, for He's been there times before.
He'll take us throu ght current, till we're safely on the shore."        -Shari Bower

My dear friend, Shari Wreyford Bower, arrived safely on Heaven's shore today. My heart is grieved for her family and all of us who walked with her closely but Shari is free from the pain of a broken world and reunited with her husband and father. 

When Shari and I met she had a manuscript and a dream; to publish her story "Before They Executed Him - A Wife's Story of Death Row". You couldn't help but love Shari, she was warm, loyal and kind to everyone in her path. In our few years together we poured over her words every month, but most importantly I watched Shari grow in purpose, passion, and confidence. She invested in her dream and became a speaker, writer, and entrepreneur. Shari found joy in every day because of her faith and the comfort of her Father in heaven, a comfort that sustained her through crushing loss, being a single mother, friend and neighbor.  

Shari was was honest with her pain but her kindness was infectious and she lived her final days as a shining beacon of hope after loss. Shari reminds us all that strength comes in many forms, her perseverance inspires me every time I see her book on my nightstand. Thank you Shari for showing me how to live and love. You will be deeply missed, my friend.
It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! In It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas! In January we had to cancel this little ones shower because he decided to come early. Then the pandemic arrived and I’ve not spent nearly enough auntie time playing peek a boo! If you need me I’ll be snuggling everyone in footie PJ’s. This year has just reminded us that the most important things can’t be wrapped under the tree. Wishing everyone a safe and merry Christmas.  #missingfamily❤️ #everythingsbetterwithbabies #merrychristmas🎄 #holdyourpeopletight

On this dark, chilly morning our family started a On this dark, chilly morning our family started a new advent tradition created by my dear friend Maggie Philpot. Inspired by Dr. Seuss and Milton, Maggie created lyrical poems, one  for each day, that joyfully capture the magnitude of the Christmas story. It’s the perfect way to start December.  Last year Maggie brought us an idea and a stack of pages, today it’s become a part of my family’s celebration. Thank you Maggie for your efforts to create a simple moment for families and bring us hope in 2020. @maggiephilpot @sparkandspiritpress  Shop local today and get a copy from @leavesbooktea  #advent #adventtraditions #adventcalendar #arthousedallaswriters #writersofinstagram #weallneedalittlechristmas #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #creativecommunity #creativityforthecommongood

These are a few of the special women in my life  who pour their hearts onto pages. We share this strange, wild compulsion to write and we celebrate each other unabashedly. The journey to create is filled with obstacles, distractions and rejections, community is essential. Congratulations @krissisallas on this epic achievement. You’ve overcome so much to be standing here, bringing joy and adventure to new readers. You bring laughter and color to our world. Your giant heart, and faith are an inspiration.  @arthousedallas #arthousedallaswriters #arthousdallascommunity  #grateful #creativecommunity #writersofinstagram #celebratecreativity #openabooktoday #openabooktoopenaworld #readmorebooks #wewrite #wewritetoinspire #wewritetoinform #wewritetoexpress #wewritetoentertain #wewritetoescape #wewritetoheal #wewritetogether
