Dear Stella:

Posted on March 13, 2017 By Sister Rain

I, perhaps more than most, know how important it is to get one’s groove back. But I have to put my snow boot-clad foot down and beg you to reconsider. Groove your bad self back to Jamaica where you met your gorgeous husband, Winston, or stay in your San Francisco…

Big Accomplishments Come In Small Brown Paper Packages

Posted on March 11, 2017March 12, 2017 By Sister Rain

I made some definite goals for myself in 2017 and plan to bring some long-term projects to fruition. My love affair with the word “fruition” is deep and faithful. What I did not expect was that I would return to some run-of-the-mill activities without premeditation. Last weekend, I looked for…

Grading On The Curve . . .

Posted on March 9, 2017March 11, 2017 By Sister Rain

and the stop sign . . . and the highway . . . After only a few weeks using Uber, I have already been obsessing about my Passenger Rating. When I was in school, the ability to check your progress real-time, electronically did not exist. We had to wait for…

The Apple Of His Eye

Posted on March 6, 2017June 1, 2017 By Sister Rain

Out to breakfast this weekend, I shared with my husband the hesitation I was having in regard to an upcoming appointment with a web design company to spruce up SisterRain.net: Me: I am thinking about cancelling my meeting. Him: Why? Me: I have this little blog. Him: Well, maybe Steve Jobs had a little Apple…

Dinner For Breakfast

Posted on March 4, 2017 By Sister Rain

Mrs. DoubtRain

Posted on March 2, 2017March 3, 2017 By Sister Rain

I have come to realize that when we doubt ourselves we are also doubting those in our lives who believe in us. People lift us up, everyday, even when we don’t need it. The energy from our biggest supporters travels any physical distance between us and lifts us up. I…
