Why Are We So Obsessed Over Romantic Love?

I think the most prominent client I have had over the years has to do with either obtaining romantic love or trying to work through one gone a bit crazy. I recall one client who went from date to date, attaching to each one of them as if they were “the one” but barely knowingContinue reading “Why Are We So Obsessed Over Romantic Love?”

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”

Choose Your Words and Actions Wisely

I’m not completely sure how owls got the identity of being “wise” ones. Somehow they became a symbol of wisdom. Neither here nor there today. This blog post is about “choice” and how our choices can affect us for years to come or even a lifetime. Let’s all acknowledge first of all that NONE ofContinue reading “Choose Your Words and Actions Wisely”

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”

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”

The phrase “hurt people hurt people” was first witnessed and coined in the year 1959 in the newspaper in Amarillo, TX. The phrase was later echoed and made more popular by a church pastor in 1979 when he decided to post it on the church bulletin board (according to my reference source). Whereas I concurContinue reading “It’s True that Hurt People Will Hurt People, But…There is MORE!”

Through Pain and Often Persecution

The title of this post says it all. I want to tell you something you might not have realized about yourself first. You utilize faith every day of your life. You might not acknowledge this reality but it takes faith to accomplish life the way you desire it to be. Regardless of what or whomContinue reading “Through Pain and Often Persecution”

Seasons and Relationships

Recently I came to the realization about relationships and seasons. The relationships I am speaking of are the ones we often consider permanent such as marriage. I always felt marriage should be a lifelong commitment and it certainly should. Yet, there are often times in life when “life long” is not possible. Some of theContinue reading “Seasons and Relationships”

Learning to Yield

It seems the only time I hear about yielding has been in connection to driving a vehicle. You might imagine my intrigue when Spirit dropped the word “yield” onto my mind this morning. In the context of driving we allow other drivers to pass by before we merge or proceed. We give the “right ofContinue reading “Learning to Yield”

Have You Been Mean Spirited?

After spending a whole night awake, this subject came to me, considering a woman I used to work with who was so mean-spirited. I went through a great deal because of her, yet I found forgiveness for her and a little nugget of encouragement for myself.   So, what causes mean-spiritedness? The number one answer isContinue reading “Have You Been Mean Spirited?”
