I’ve been listening and watching the news a lot lately. Like many, I have been astonished at the number of accusations of sexual harassment and sexual assault that have come to light. There have been countless articles, think pieces, hashtags, and opinions about who, why, and how. One question that keeps coming up is, why …

Bawling in the Garage
Last Monday I had a meltdown. I’m talking sitting in my car, in the garage bawling my eyes out, couldn’t think, got dressed to go to work and didn’t go type of meltdown. I had already decided that I needed to start going through therapy again to work out some issues, but I knew last …
Pajamas at Swim Lessons
Monday I took Josephine to swim lessons in my pajamas. The entire outfit wasn’t pajamas (I had on leggings and a cardigan to class it up) but I may or may not have slept in the tunic I was wearing. Either way, it’s not something I would wear to work or even the grocery store, …
The Gospel of Mary J. Blige
I was 13 when Mary J.’s ‘My Life’ album dropped. I was an extremely angsty and depressed teenager and when I listened to it I was positive that she had written that album just for me. I listened to it often and when I fell head over heels in love with my husband at Freshman …
Please Don’t Talk to Me
I am rarely in a mood not to talk. Whether it’s through face-to-face conversation, phone calls, text messages, or comments on social media, I get my energy from interacting with others. But sometimes, I need a break and want to just disconnect. I was having one of these moments when I took my girl to …
Close the Door
When my husband and I got married I realized that he had a terrible habit. Every time he opened a cabinet or door he would leave it open. At first I thought it was because he planned to come right back to whatever he was doing; but, I quickly realized it was because he’d just …
The Cause for Tithing
Eleven years ago my husband and I decided to fully submit our lives to Christ. We made a decision to be baptized and joined our church. One of the first big decisions we made after joining and learning more of God’s word was to start tithing. We went all in, becoming truth tithers of our …
Greater is Coming
Last week in my post Team OMNI I wrote about how I’d been struggling with what God had planned for my life and how although I’d often say ‘Lord, do Your will’ I would often negotiate. Well friends, God has once again shown me that my plans aren’t His plans and that no matter what, …
Pushed Too Far
I was chatting with a friend recently about my latest storm and as we swapped stories on our struggles, she told me there was yet another lesson in there somewhere (see my last two posts for the others). It wasn’t until hours later that this most recent lesson hit me right in the face. At …
Team OMNI
The last few weeks have been INSANE. I won’t go in to detail but let’s just say that I’ve contemplated selling our house, buying an RV, and home schooling the kids while we travel the country. If you know me you know that 1) I love my house and 2) CorlissCorliss ain’t trying to home …
