LOVE TALK FOR EVERYDAY PEOPLE
It's that time of year again when I find myself reflecting on the past, especially the days when my mother, Bonnie Jean Taylor, was still with me.

The phrase “life is lifeing” always boggles my mind—not because it’s wrong, but because it’s typically said with a negative tone. And I can’t help but wonder… what exactly are we expecting from life?

It is almost over. It is almost time to bid farewell to 2020. I truly cannot believe how fast this year has come and gone. Most of us have horrible stories to tell about this year, how the pandemic has destroyed our lives and the lives of so many. How the injustices have destroyed and …
