For The Women Doing It All Alone Who Shows Up Trying to Be That Titus 2 woman

Shems Sermon title-61-users day (13)_edited.jpg

WELCOME

To every woman who has ever carried more than she could say — welcome.

Launching Capes and Crowns feels like opening the doors to a home I’ve been preparing in my spirit for years. A home for the women who show up, hold it together, and keep moving because life has taught them to be strong… even when their hearts are whispering for rest.

This website was created with you in mind — the woman who wears an invisible cape because she’s had to, and a crown because God said so. The woman who pours out, lifts up, and stands in the gap for everyone else, often without a place to set her own burdens down.

My hope is that this space becomes a gentle landing place for your soul.
A place where the pace slows.
A place where your shoulders can drop.
A place where you can let the cape slip and remember the crown that was never taken from you.

Capes and Crowns is more than a site — it’s an invitation.
An invitation to rest.
An invitation to be honest.
An invitation to be held by God in the places you’ve learned to hide.

Thank you for being here at the beginning.
Thank you for allowing this space to meet you exactly where you are — tired, hopeful, healing, grieving, growing.
Thank you for letting Capes and Crowns become part of your journey back to yourself.

Come in softly.
Stay as long as you need.
You belong here.

With love,

Sharon

“If you’re tired — not just in your body, but in your spirit — you’re in the right place. To every woman who has ever carried more than she could say — welcome.”

A Comfort Only GOD Can Give

Psalm 94:19 - In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul. by Minister Nedelka F. Prescod Our reflection focal text is verse 19 of Psalm 94, coming out of one of the books in our Bible, considered to be the anthology of Hebrew religious hymns -meaning the words were sung. Yet, I would like us to take a slow walk to the focus text and imagine beginning a hymn or song with the very first line of Psalm 94 as it reads in the New International Version: “

Managing Anxiety and Mental Health Medications

Effective management of both anxiety and mental health medications requires a comprehensive approach to achieving long term well-being. Picture this, you are on a tight deadline conscientiously working to complete a project. You are exhausted and your manager continuously badgers you to ask when it will be completed. When you send a draft of the project there are an overwhelming number of edits, many of which are superficial. Your content and visual presentation is heavily cr

Don’t Talk to Me Until I’ve Had My Quiet Time (and My Coffee... and Maybe My Therapist)

Sisters, Listen. I don’t know who needs to hear this, but that whole “rise and grind” energy? Uhm...Yeah...No. These days, I’m more of a “rise, pause, sip, pray, ignore texts until I feel like a human” kind of girl, because let me tell you something: mornings are sacred. The way I start my day determines if I’m walking into the world feeling centered…or if I’m side-eying the first person who dares to ask me for something before 10 a.m. The Art of the Soft Start Gone are the d

Strong Black Woman? Sis, I’m Just Trying Not to Lose My Keys...Again

Let’s start with the truth: I’m tired. Not “I could use a nap” tired. I mean “I’m mentally balancing five to-do lists, emotionally drained, and lowkey wondering if I brushed my teeth this morning” tired. And yet—folks still look at me and say, “You’re so strong.” Sis…do they mean physically? Because emotionally, I’ve had three breakdowns, cried in the car, gave myself a pep talk in the mirror, and still showed up to that Zoom meeting like I had it all together. Let’s talk abo
