My first blog on theleahjournal.com is about dressing to impress. Yes, we should dress to impress. With the abundance of fashion blogs and sites I understand that many do dress to impress. The thing is many have their mind on impressing those of the world. Their boss, the new boy in school, the cute waiter…
I look at these pants and see the person I was a year ago. Blissfully ignorant comes to mind. My tummy was getting larger and larger, and for a few months, I simply thought I was getting a big waistline. I was getting older and had went from being on my feet all the time…
Many people have memories of dealing with some form of peer pressure in high school. People in their 30s-40s dealt with it mostly at school as we didn’t have Social Media back then. We suffered through the week and, if we were fortunate, could go all weekend without being bothered. These days, now that is…
My mama passed from this world on October 21, 2003. I still remember my devastation and despair like it was yesterday. It impacted my life in so many ways that it is hard to put in words. She was my best friend, my shopping buddy, the one who went to the zoo with me before…
“It’s not really a convenient time, Dr.” I said to my Primary Care Physician after finding out I would need surgery to remove a large abdominal tumor.

What happened to Sydney Sutherland has rocked me and many others to the core. I have gone from sad to mad to utterly distraught over and over. I have asked myself why did this man decide that he had the right to violate and kill her? What he failed to understand was that he absolutely…
My mama and I used to look for lost treasures at the junkyard at De Valls Bluff when I was a little girl. This would have been the mid to late 1970’s. I remember one time we took a friend of hers named Jimmy with us and they were looking at a piece of furniture…
It’s that time again. The time when a great deal of people are reduced to name calling, hateful, spiteful individuals. The time when we, as a people, are to vote for our next President. Unless you have no television, smartphone or radio, you can’t help but see the videos, news reports, social media posts and…
The days of my youth were such good days. Not perfect, of course, but good. Simple. Easy. We didn’t have much, but Mama always made sure we had enough. We had what we needed and that was good enough for me. There wasn’t much peer pressure before I was up into my teen years. Didn’t…
Today is our 14 Year Anniversary and I am thankful for Mark Anthony Brewer. Not only today, but every single day. Thankful for the Christian life God has blessed us with. I pray the Lord blesses us with many more years in His service! I first laid eyes on Mark Brewer on October 21, 2004….
