Running By Faith
This week has been chock-full of encouragements, and I want to document them so I don’t forget. Or, at the very least, one of you guys can remind me when I do, LOL. I have a habit of forgetting the milestones passed on my way to the finish line. Am I...
The In-Between
Yesterday, my "bonus mom" and I went to pick out my Christmas tree. This is an annual thing that I started when I moved into my house. I explained the meaning behind it to her. Growing up, we never had a real tree. To save money, we bought a fake tree that we...
Running Again
The pavement bounces beneath your sneakers. With every push, there's a pull. The push from the balls of your feet launches against the pull of gravity when taking the next stride. Your kneecaps fly in the air upward. The wind, the elements, the hill you are...
Do You Need Help to Believe?
I’ve had the luxury of doing life with amazing women for 20+ years. For over two decades, these stellar, driven, successful, beautiful, intelligent women have honored me by curating memories, encouraging conversations, and holding pain. We have weathered storms,...

A Winning Record
I’m writing my memoir right now. It’s interesting stuff because it came out of nowhere. I had a few divine instances that occurred, which I’ll share more on later, that led to this happenstance. The funny thing is, I never saw myself writing a memoir and wasn’t...
If They Only Knew
Have you ever had an experience where you met someone and they totally snubbed or demeaned you? Maybe you were dressed a certain way, or they simply didn't know you. But then, someone vouches for you or hears about your credentials, talent, and education. Whatever...
It’s Harvest Season
Since we are no longer an agricultural society, meaning the majority of us are not out here tilling the land to live, we can miss the universal law that is at work to reap what we sow. Years ago, I received a word from an elder who said, "Nicole, in the next...
This Time Next Year
What is it about time that makes it seem fleeting when really good things are happening, but when the stuff we don't like is happening, we can't WAIT for the clock to wind down? I have walked out some very long seasons in my life. Some were hard, full of...
