Drawing the Best Relationships

This morning I was thinking about relationships and how we get into messes where we connect with those who seem to bring out the worst parts of us. The things we do for love, right? We make choices based on things that have nothing to do with compatibility and settle for the connections that areContinue reading “Drawing the Best Relationships”

Procrastination?? Are You Frozen?

Think about what happens when you procrastinate for just a moment. What is going on inside of you? We already know what is going on outside of you….NOTHING! Most of the time we think of procrastination as simply “putting things off” that we really should be doing or would like to do. We think toContinue reading “Procrastination?? Are You Frozen?”

Remaining Light Hearted During Stressful Times

Oh my goodness! I chose this photo because the dog reminds me of the Alaskan Huskey we had when I was a little girl. Oh, how I loved that dog! There are so many things in life that can keep us light-hearted when times are really tough. By all means, grieve, cry, get upset, andContinue reading “Remaining Light Hearted During Stressful Times”

What Forgiveness is and What it is Not

I think forgiving and forgiveness is one of the most misunderstood actions of the heart and spirit. I get it. Some things are just too difficult and hurtful to even think of forgiving it. It’s all our own process and it’s all personal. This morning, I felt like I needed to clarify forgiveness in myContinue reading “What Forgiveness is and What it is Not”

The Dark Night of the Soul

This is a messy subject, and I’m not going to sugarcoat it. It’s too important to make it less than what it is. It’s wonderful when life has new beginnings. I live for those moments. To have beginnings, we also have to endure endings. Unfortunately, there are seasons of time when we go through whatContinue reading “The Dark Night of the Soul”

What to do When Someone Hurts You Deeply

I’m sure you are aware of this by now, but we are people. Human. We are meant to “feel” but there are times when we can become too hurt and feelings can be overwhelming. We can become hurt within our feelings and emotions but there are times when someone hurts us so badly that itContinue reading “What to do When Someone Hurts You Deeply”

“I Will” Promises of God

To me, there is nothing more sacred than a promise. God sees a promise so important the bible states it is better to not promise anything than to promise and break it. ( I am paraphrasing of course!). Regardless of how you define “God”; to me, I see, hear, and experience God as a powerfulContinue reading ““I Will” Promises of God”

The Beauty and Significance of a Sunset

Sunsets are absolutely gorgeous! They spell the end of a day well lived even when it has not been the easiest day in your life. The colors are amazing if there is a clear sky and who can resist the breathtaking view of a sunset over the horizon of the ocean. Picture the ocean breeze,Continue reading “The Beauty and Significance of a Sunset”

Life Moving Through Grief

There is no doubt about it, grieving the loss of someone we love is very HARD, especially if the person was very close to your heart. I’m writing this blog post not to expose my grief or my losses, I have done that already, but to give a little bit of an inside look duringContinue reading “Life Moving Through Grief”

When Suffering Comes

Even when we are as positive as we possibly can be, times of trial and suffering will come. Usually, it is due to a life lesson or a re-take because of a mistake. Sometimes it is a fallout from other people and our concerns about them. Often I look at myself in the mirror andContinue reading “When Suffering Comes”
