Lettin it All Hang Out: An Autobiography
I do not exaggerate when I say that I never went to one class while I was there. Annette Benning was going there too, and I suppose had I gone to class I might have met her, married her, and she'd be having my babies instead of Warren's!

Lettin it All Hang Out: An Autobiography
In its purest form, silence isn’t empty space, a void to avoid. Rather, it’s a canvas pregnant with possibilities upon which we can paint our intentions and dreams.
Think of silence as a statement of self-respect, a declaration of our boundaries, and a powerful tool for navigating the complexities of human interaction.

Morning nugget and public declaration:
“Love without loyalty is just performance. I’m not casting roles—I’m cultivating covenant.
If your presence is a strategy and not a sacrifice, I’ll pass.
Please know that I’m not flattered by flattery. I’m strengthened by faithfulness.
Don’t camouflage your competition as compassion. I see it. I name it. I exit.
I’m not your networking opportunity—I’m a divine assignment. Treat me accordingly.”
“I declare that every hidden motive is exposed, every counterfeit connection is cut, and every true covenant is confirmed. I walk with those who walk with me—not around me, not above me, not behind me. I am surrounded by sincerity, not strategy.

...Daphne willed herself to take a few steady breaths like a normal human. But he smelled nice and his skin looked soft and clear and he sat so comfortably at this seat in front of his computer as if he really was built to conduct archival queries online. Would it be weird if she told him he was a naturally good sitter?

Dating and Friendship: A New Model For A Lasting Love Relationship
Emotional validation is the starter in the sourdough of a happy relationship; without it, the whole loaf collapses, and psychological intimacy — a crucial ingredient for safety and happiness in a lasting, healthy connection — never has a chance to rise.

History Lessons
Let today be the day we choose love over silence, forgiveness over pride, and presence over distance. The clock is ticking, and eternity is closer than we think. Don’t wait for a funeral to say ‘I miss you.’ Don’t wait for regret to say ‘I love you.’ Rebuild the bridge. Make the call. Send the prayer. Hug tighter. Laugh louder. Forgive faster. Because every breath is a gift—and every moment is a chance to love again.
Every room doesn’t deserve your spirit. Some smiles carry daggers in disguise, but grace scans what the natural eyes can’t. Be wise with your circle—God’s presence is your protection, not popularity.
What can I say? I'm taken; I love how enthralled she remains by the festival of living.

House of Leaves
Peace begins the moment you release borrowed identities. When you love from truth, not trauma, Heaven sees you—not for who left you, but for Who called you. God does not invest in temporary value; you are eternal currency in His hands, priced above influence and proof. Walk in worthiness, not permission — you are God's original design, and He’s still proud of you.
