Everybody Gets An ‘Eshet Chayil’

Last updated on: February 13, 2014 at 5:37 pm By Osheta Moore

A couple of years ago, I read, “A Year of Biblical Womanhood: How a Liberated Woman Found Herself Sitting on Her Roof, Covering Her Head, and Calling Her Husband “Master” by Rachel Held Evans. I was at a place where I was tired of back-biting and position defending in the church. I wanted her to rise up beautiful and unified with the words of peace on her lips. I was so over the underlying expectation that every woman is a... Read more

What I’m Into: January/Love Edition

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 11:00 am By Osheta Moore

Hi Friends, Last week, my husband was in Chicago at Mid-winter, a conference by our denomination. When he’s away I try to get every single home project on my to-do list completed, one year I reorganized our linen closet, another I turned our bedroom in a romantic love nest complete with twinkle lights and new lamps, this year I wanted to cover our dining room chairs, but when I asked my husband where his staple gun was, he was like,...

The Great and Terrible Beauty of Being A Writer

Last updated on: February 7, 2014 at 9:33 am By Osheta Moore

Today I’m linking up with Lisa-Jo Baker’s FMF (Five Minute Friday) Our prompt for the day is: Write. GO: On Monday I wrote this Facebook status: Today’s been tough. It feels dark and cold. I’m sad about the car and I’m lonely without my hubs. I miss him. I do. He’s my other half, my sounding board, my warm embrace when life is bitterly cold. I also miss writing true words. Since the car drama started, I’ve written angry words,... Read more

Embracing My Sasha Fierce…In Bed

Last updated on: February 4, 2014 at 2:32 am By Osheta Moore

“I’ll make love to you, like you want me to and I’ll hold you tight, baby all though the night!” With gusto and passion, I sang along with Boyz II Men. Twirling around my bedroom and clutching my favorite party dress to my chest, I used it to mime the “throw your clothes on the floor’ lyric. My room filled with the harmony of these love-makers crooning to their beloved and I was lost in the beauty of that sexy... Read more

A Song For Spalding Spinner

Last updated on: January 23, 2014 at 11:55 pm By Osheta Moore

Tonight I went to a card-making class in Porter Square. Since our minivan is at the dealership for repairs, I’ve been taking the “T”, Boston’s public transit—which I love. To get to Porter from my house, I have to take the 73 bus to Harvard Station then transfer onto the outbound red line train. Usually, I get on the bus, turn on an audio book and ignore the other passengers until I get to Harvard, but tonight, I noticed... Read more

This Is How We Do It! A Compilation of Voices for Reconciliation

Last updated on: January 20, 2014 at 6:45 pm By Osheta Moore

Yesterday in church we had a guest speaker, Efrain Alicea, “Brother E”, pastor of Elements Church in the Bronx. His church uses hip hop to reach the 18-25 demographic and he shared a powerful story of how he found his voice and calling in hip hop while on a date with a girl. Right before he went in to “make his move” he heard these words by Wonder Mike in “Rappers Delight” playing from the street: I am Wonder Mike,... Read more
