For You, Netizen

Last updated on: August 25, 2013 at 12:05 am By Grace Sandra

netizen |ˈnetəzən| noun a user of the Internet, esp. a habitual or avid one. //// 1. Supporting a faith-based right to reproductive justice -an interview with Dr. Willie Parker – There is very little about this article that didn’t anger me. However, I wanted to share it because it’s an interesting perspective and it’s good to read & share things that you don’t necessarily agree with or even like. 2. Black to School: African-American Voices at Christian Colleges – This... Read more

My Last Tweet

Last updated on: August 24, 2013 at 2:57 pm By Grace Sandra

I was particularly struck a few years ago when Heavy D unexpectedly passed away. Call me morbid, but I generally head straight to Twitter after the death of a celeb to check out their last tweet. Heavy’s last tweet was simple, “BE INSPIRED!” If you follow me on Instagram you know I often write #StayInspired as the last of many hashtags. I use it as a small token of recognition for someone who was a part of my childhood and to... Read more

Super stoked y’all to share with you my recent interview with author, Jeff Goins. Jeff has a GREAT wildly popular blog on writing, ideas & making a difference. His last book was Wrecked: When a Broken World Slams into your Comfortable Life …which, will wreck the mess outta you if you let it. And this next one promises to be a challenge-fest doozy as well which I’m really eager to read or Audible soon. The In-Between Embracing the Tension Bewtween Now... Read more

An Open Letter To the Over Sharing Mama

Last updated on: August 18, 2013 at 2:05 pm By Grace Sandra

Dear Over Sharing Mama, I feel you. Sometimes, I confess, I over share because I feel woefully inadequate as a Mama. At least I think that’s why underneath it all. I upload copious amounts of instagrams appropriately hashtagged #momlife. Yet, as to motive, I’m in deliberations about all this. Hear me out. One time I tweeted, “I love my sons!” I felt so embarrassed afterwards. Oh crap, I thought. People are going to see right through this. I realized I wanted... Read more

it’s ALL about me

Last updated on: August 14, 2013 at 12:05 am By Grace Sandra

Finally, I’ve finished revamping my new ABOUT page. I’d hoped to have this done & ready to be unveiled with my relatively new blog revamp -more than a month ago- but…ya know… that would have taken a modern miracle. In any case, here’s my new “about” page posted here for all my new readers and guests. I wanted to share a myriad of my archive links in interactive story form as opposed to a boring “here’s my favorite posts” list. ... Read more

When God was at Blogher ’13 & I talked to Queen Latifah

Last updated on: August 9, 2013 at 11:37 pm By Grace Sandra

As an extrovert, fine, I admit it: I’m a conference junkie. I’ve always loved conferences, I stay up the latest and party the hardest though when I say “party” I mean getting drunk on conversations and high on laughter. Of all the conferences I’ve ever been to, maybe 45 or more, I’ve only ever had a drink at two. When your extrovert flag flies as high and bright as mine, trust me, you don’t need a smidge of choice beverage... Read more

Story

Last updated on: August 3, 2013 at 8:12 am By Grace Sandra

Before “story” was all the rage in blogs and books and conference names, {<—–I’m going!} I’ve loved story-telling. In fact, the word “story” is so widely popular I was hesitant to put into my new tagline. But I went ahead because long after “story” is #trending I’ll be a storyteller. The line comes from Psalms 107:2. It resonated. I’m aware of my redemption & the story I have is mine to tell. And I want to! Telling stories both the hilarious... Read more

Voices of the Year ’13

Last updated on: July 26, 2013 at 5:09 pm By Grace Sandra

A little while I go I got an email that I was one of the 100 honoree’s for Blogher’s Voices of the Year in the inspiration category! The post nominated was one I wrote for Rachel Held Evans’ about my hope for Evangelical Christians to become more racially reconciled, Even though I just wrote the other day that I believe the entirety of the world are racist I’d still love it, obviously, if everyone else could reconcile too. Starting the conversation with... Read more

Belong

Last updated on: July 19, 2013 at 10:00 pm By Grace Sandra

I am overwhelmed by those who don’t belong… …especially the ones who “don’t belong” with the ones like me…the ones whose clothes and holey shoes tell a story. You’ve felt it before too right? Ever been to a neighborhood where everyone looks the same but you? It may not even be the skin color that divides. It’s the way you walk. It’s the t-shirt that says G A P directly across your boobs. It’s the bright white jean shorts and... Read more
