The Attitude Influence, Part 1

April 13, 2020May 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 2 Comments

“If you don’t like something, change it. If you can’t change it, change your attitude.” —Maya Angelou I recently read The Attitude Influence by LeAnn Shaw. It’s her first book. And it’s good. I can appreciate the process she went through to give life to her thoughts, wisdom, and to her words. She talks about choosing the … Continue reading The Attitude Influence, Part 1

I Wonder…

February 27, 2020April 1, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 2 Comments

I recently watched Crown Heights, a drama based on the true story of Colin Warner who was convicted of a murder he did not commit, resulting in 21 years behind bars, 21 years of horrific injustice, 21 years of a changed life. The story is also (and equally) about his best friend, Carl King, who … Continue reading I Wonder…

Falling Upward

September 25, 2019March 24, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / Leave a comment

Okay, so it's not orange, but this is Florida's fall all the same. It's officially fall, so what better time than now, to "fall upward." This is the title of a Richard Rohr book I'm reading. I highlighted nearly everything in it. I plan to host a book study to dig further into his words. … Continue reading Falling Upward

Purpose in Our Pieces

July 12, 2017March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / Leave a comment

"This is a powerful place, when we can find purpose in our pieces, in our imperfect lives. It’s a place that I think Pat Conroy portrays beautifully in the movie rendition of his memoir The Water is Wide." –Momentous Living https://youtu.be/ZTePeZag_yI

After Pounding the Books, I’m Pounding Out My Own Book.

June 28, 2017March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 2 Comments

Thank you to everyone who commented on this recent post. I appreciate all your congratulations. Funny thing is, it was buried in my archives as a draft and when I started revamping my blog site this week, I accidentally posted it. So, the truth is, I finished my classes in April and was so so … Continue reading After Pounding the Books, I’m Pounding Out My Own Book.

Panties in a Wad

April 14, 2017March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 4 Comments

When I'm stressed, I organize and clean stuff. I guess it's my way of getting something in my life under control when other parts are out of control. Organizing energizes me like coffee or exercise or work energizes some of you. This week I've been organizing. And I mean organizing: bedroom furniture, bedroom closet, hall … Continue reading Panties in a Wad

Crap-your-pants Chances

July 28, 2016March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / Leave a comment

It's been a while since I have blogged. Life tends to get in my way. But then, that's life. Much has been going on though, and so I wanted to update everyone on one of those happenings: my upcoming book. Yes, it's still happening. The copy is almost done, more critiquing and editing is soon to … Continue reading Crap-your-pants Chances

Graduation: a time of shifting

May 2, 2016March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 1 Comment

To journey without being changed is to be a nomad. To change without journeying is to be a chameleon. To journey and be transformed by the journey is to be a pilgrim. [1] —Mark Nepo, The Exquisite Risk As I travel through yet another year of graduations with friends' children, as well as my own, … Continue reading Graduation: a time of shifting

Living a Life of Dignity

January 14, 2016March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 2 Comments

I like to run, but not a lot. Enough to release stress, hang out with friends, and sort through life's challenges. By the end of my runs, life seems better. More manageable. This year my running plan is to finish my book. That will be my marathon. And . . . it will be . … Continue reading Living a Life of Dignity

The Road Less Traveled

November 11, 2015March 19, 2020 / Debby Kerr-Henry / 2 Comments

I mostly make my bed in the morning. But not always. I don't stress over it if it doesn't happen. Recently though, I read something about Robert Frost that makes me want to make my bed every day. You know Robert Frost. "Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—I took the one less traveled … Continue reading The Road Less Traveled
