How Great Thou Part

My kids always roll their eyes when I tell them we are going to write down our goals. I know, most people believe goals are for adults. Only, I always loved to see my children write down their hopes and their dreams. A little peek inside exactly who they are and are meant to be.…

There is nothing more exciting than a New Year which promises a fresh start. A time to refresh our hopes, our dreams, and our energy.  Most importantly, it is a time which commands that we center our spirit. And remind ourselves of our purpose in life and what God has whispered in our hearts. It…

Wishing you a Happy and faith-filled New Year!   “God will open doors.” – Colossians 4:3 “Pray first. Act second.” – Isaiah 8:20 “Always put your hope in God.” – Hosea 12:6 “Forget the former things; Do not dwell on the past. See, I am doing a new thing! Now it springs up; Do you…

Goodness knows even some of the family and friends of the narcissist can’t see nor understand it. To be fair, those in relationships with…

I admit it. I stayed in an unhappy marriage for too long. Initially, I did this for all the right reasons or what I call my favorite reason…LOVE. But ultimately even I was smart enough to realize any type of unhealthy relationship cannot be defined as love. That’s when the secondary reason for staying hindered…

Christmas wishes are supposed to come true, right? I’m pretty sure I asked for this exact same thing last Christmas! I logged onto LinkedIn today and noticed one of my favorite West Coast law firms had a great graphic with the exact same caption as my title. Well, the ‘All I Want for Christmas Is…
