writing – It's Kenyuh

Adding Hair to Box Braids

I gotta give credit to myself for all the research I’ve done. I gotta pat myself on the back for not giving up after multiple failed attempts. It might be simple to some but to me, adding hair to box braids was a challenge. I’m already skilled at basic cornrows, parting and box braids. I’veContinue reading “Adding Hair to Box Braids”

Jesus Heals the Blind

Don’t laugh at my drawing. Jesus is not mushing their noses. He’s healing the blind. Our classes are not just your normal Sunday school lesson. We talk. We ask questions. We try to be honest about our doubts and feelings. My job is to bring scripture down to their level in ways they understand. WelcomeContinue reading “Jesus Heals the Blind”

Concentrated Writing

I don’t write like I used to. I don’t write every little revelation that I experience anymore. I have decided to let my writing be a concentration of multiple experiences. I don’t want to give too much access to my heart these days. I don’t want it to be a mystery either. I just wantContinue reading “Concentrated Writing”

Unimpressive that is Me

Writing is not my thing. Thinking is. I don’t enjoy writing because I’d have to water down my thoughts by writing words I barely know how to use. I’m judged based on grammar. Spelling. Style. Penmanship. I wish I was better, though. I wish I could impress the world with writing skills that has neverContinue reading “Unimpressive that is Me”

Enough

Am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Am I a good enough friend? Am I a good enough human? Anyone ever asked what is used to measure “enough”?. How does one determine when enough has been met. Has anyone ever sat down and said “I have had enough”? Unless, of course, the standard ofContinue reading “Enough”

Mars

I saw an image of Mars today.It was desolate.No foot prints.No structures.No signs of civilization.A whole planet with no life.A BUNCH of planets with no life.What a waste it is to have planets.Lord, what was your purpose? God: Just because there’s no “life”, doesn’t mean it’s a waste. Just because you see no humans, doesn’tContinue reading “Mars”

Prisoner to my emotions but released by the Word

There are days when my emotions consume me and I become a prisoner to them like I’m not even saved. I plead with God to walk ahead of me through the path my emotions tempt me to take so that He could knock down each obstacle cleverly placed to destroy me. Can you ask GodContinue reading “Prisoner to my emotions but released by the Word”

Vision for One. Blind to millions

I’m kinda glad I deleted all my old blogs. I might be repeating myself on here but my ideas and inspiration was tunneled towards one group of people, one type of mentality, one church denomination, one ideation, one culture, one perspective -one- out of MILLIONS. Working in behavioral health has shown me hundreds of perspectivesContinue reading “Vision for One. Blind to millions”

No answers. Just being

I find myself on WordPress often leaving the app within minutes because I have nothing to write about. I’m thinking to myself asking why in the world would I have nothing to write if I’m inspired by the patients that walk in and out my office everyday. Then the lightbulb appeared… Writing doesn’t always haveContinue reading “No answers. Just being”

Could we learn to see failures as a reality in life and not as a result of poor decision making?

I pretend to be confident on some of my decision making but deep down, I’m always torn. My heart and my mind are never at ease. When I have to make a decision, I quickly try to create an equation that could provide me with answers by simply entering numbers in the place of variablesContinue reading “Could we learn to see failures as a reality in life and not as a result of poor decision making?”
