International Women’s Day

Because this is Women’s History Month, I can’t help but appreciate the female relatives closest to me who were game changers in our family. My paternal grandmother Audrey (“Granny”, as I called her) born in Acola MS was the first in her family to attend college at...

Here’s to you, Mrs. Robinson!

Below is a message from Ms. Robinson , my sixth grade teacher. I wanted to honor her for being the best teacher I ever had. After trying to get everyone on the same page for a memory book, I was able to have this crystal created for her on behalf of ALL of her...

What are the chances?

You're studying abroad and decide to go sightseeing in Luxembourg and out of nowhere come your classmates from your university back home in the States. Really, what are the odds?            

Before I was an artist…

I’ve worked as a gas station attendant. I once worked at Subway for 4 hours. I’ve collected payments from customers for a sports cards trading company. I’ve been a sales representative at a mall. I’ve taught kindergarten at a daycare. I worked as an eCommerce...

Leslé Honoré Poetry

Dear Body, Yesterday Sandria Washington posted a video about a woman coming to terms with feeling too tall most of her life. I reflected on feeling too tall, not wanting to wear heels, feeling like I just took up too much space. I realized that for probably more than...

Forty-Six

In 1975, Saturday Night Live premiered. And I was born. On March 24, at around 3am, my first season began. And somehow, I’ve managed to get picked up for 45 more. I’ve been thinking a lot about age lately. It’s really quite subjective, isn’t it? I think 46 is old...

This little guy, this beautiful baby, is Gabriel B. Taye when he when he was a toddler. He was born in 2008 and died in 2017. He was a victim of bullying and took his own life. We honored Gabe, with his mom's permission, with a tribute gift...

In July

July 25, 2020

Occasionally we will be giving memorial/tribute gifts to those who have lost a loved one. Sign up to get the announcements.

In July

Sparklers are bright in the midnight sky

Barbeques and picnics for the 4th of July

Parades with floats pass us by

We put on smiles and silently cry

We three who grieve in July

We know the hour, the minute,

the moment, and second our lives forever changed….

We who grieve in July

Anger pain and disbelief

Our question  is…why…why..why?

Shawn was first to be called home

A military man…he helps guard God’s Throne

Along with St. Michael

He protects God’s  home

Jordan and Tiff

What a happy pair!

Their musical gifts would fill the air

What a happy pair!  

Their  musical  gifts would fill the air

God needed a composer with talent and flair.

He called on Jojo because  he cared

And then there was Tiffany, boy could she she sing!

God asked her to do solos because that was her “thing”

For some unknown reason beyond  our control

God called you each by name to your heavenly  home

Three Mother’s who grieve each July,

happy but empty as time goes by

We wait for the day we grieve no more

Jordan Shawn and Tiffany meet us at the gate to Heaven’s door.

We love and miss you.

Today I dedicate this poem to two friends and mothers who share the heartbreak of losing a child.  It is for Marlene and Regina.
