August 27, 2010
Thumbnail image for Whatever You Dwell on Will GROW

By Harriet Hairston Sometimes life throws cliches at me that I never pay attention to until way down the line.  Lately, the cliche that has been playing over and over again in my mind is this:  “Whatever you dwell on will grow.” There’s something about the power within the mind that will attract the very [...]

by Harriet Hairston There’s a silly little song I heard when I was a little girl that has been playing in my mind as of late: You’ve gotta accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative and latch on to the affirmative.  Don’t mess with Mr. In-Between. Mr. In-Between and I had a love thing going on [...]

by Harriet Hairston It’s just not smart to ask God for patience.  I’ve learned more and more over the years that He is the master Comedian, and will make sure that a person gets what they want in a way that’s unforgettable. The only thing is, in this particular instance, I didn’t ask for it.  [...]

Sometimes You Just Have to Check Yourself

Thumbnail image for Sometimes You Just Have to Check Yourself

by Harriet Hairston I watched a vignette from Vince Vujicic on youtube, and had to check myself.  I’ve seen inspirational speakers like him before, with one or more disabilities, but his words managed to speak beyond my personal despair to the heart of the matter:  In life, ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING. Even Jesus could not help [...]

Don’t Call it a Comeback!?

Thumbnail image for Don’t Call it a Comeback!?

by Harriet Hairston I’ve truly been here for years…dealing with hardships and bouncing back. Experiencing disappointment and bouncing back. Losing everything and bouncing back. This is nothing new to me. C’est la vie…such is life. Nevertheless, as you read a couple of weeks ago, I was having a rough time mentally, emotionally, spiritually and financially. [...]

by Harriet Hairston I told Lamar I wasn’t going to write about this right now.  I told him to pray for my husband and I because collectively, we’ve hit a rough patch, and to write about it would do nothing but make it worse.  But I’m a two-faced fighter.  Something inside me feels like curling up in a closet and hiding [...]

by Harriet Hairston Lately, I’ve been having difficulty moving on from a particularly painful situation.  I thought I was over it, but little inklings of what happened keep entering my mind, and if I don’t fight them off immediately, they grow like a cancer and attempt to wreak havoc on my thoughts and emotions.  I have too many good things going on in my life [...]

Don’t Trip…He Ain’t Through With Me Yet

Thumbnail image for Don’t Trip…He Ain’t Through With Me Yet

by Harriet Hairston Sometimes I think women can be so performance driven within their marriages that they forget how to be human.  I would LOVE to say that I’m perfect in all my conversations and dealings with other people, but based on my past behavior, that’s just not the case at all.  I’ve acted like [...]
