Join the Tribe
Those days where we think we are just getting by, just existing, and barely at that, we have it ALL wrong. I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine the other day, and we had a breakthrough moment. We need to change what we are saying to this…
Is your closet out of control? Do you have things in it that you have not worn in years? Has your closet become a scary
I love when we hear a story of someone’s life, and it touches us in that deep place where it whispers softly. This. Do this. This is how you want to live. These are two stories of two mothers, one setting an example of how to pray, and the other interceding for her 12 year old son who is a gang member coming home at 3:00 AM. I cannot even imagine how Victor’s life would have ended had it not been for his mother interceding for him. Read more on the prayers of these two women…
This keeps coming to my mind…how important our thoughts are. It’s a quiet whisper that I have been feeling for a couple of months. I
As the new year approaches, this is a time that many of us are choosing our one word for the year. It is when we choose a word, one word, that is speaking to us, calling to us. Instead of focusing on too many things, it is a way of keeping one goal in front of us all year. It could be a word in an area we would like to grow, a way we want to be, a life philosophy, or a goal. Continue reading to find out what my words were last year, and what words are speaking to me now.
Are you making resolutions right now for the New Year? It is the 31st, and this is what I will be doing as I ring in the new year. I just started thinking about mine. I am not going to sweat that. I’ve gone into January working on mine. We can do this anytime during the year, whether it’s December or July. It’s always a good time to make resolutions and goals. Goals give us focus. Whether you are setting goals for the New Year, or you are setting goals in the middle of the year, goals give us focus, and when action follows this focus, we create an energy and momentum. This is where the magic happens. This is the place you want to live. Read more on… 10 Ways to Make Beautiful Resolutions and Keep Them.
I discovered that it is sometimes on the journey that we find ourselves. -Topaz
I have learned that we do not always have to have strong feelings about something for it to be the thing that will move our soul, for it to awaken our soul. The soul is often awakened on the journey. We just must begin the journey. We must take the journeys, lots of journeys. We have to take that first step. We have to say yes. This is the place where life is lived. This is where we get those experiences that stay with us for a lifetime. These are the things that make our life. These are the things that…
It was when I took the journey that…
This 30 day challenge has been the single, most life altering challenge I have done to date. This is an update on the last 112 days. If we feed our bodies every day, we need to be just as intentional about feeding our minds. I challenge you to do this 30 day challenge…maybe even for the rest of your life.
Be as you wish to seem. -Socrates
How we wish to seem might be telling us who we really want to be, maybe even who we were created to be, but we are stuck, stuck in old patterns, hurts, habits, thoughts, and actions. Maybe we just haven’t learned all we need to learn yet. Maybe we are still in the design process…
The things we once did so freely as children, maybe we never should have stopped doing those things. It makes me wonder when we started feeling so self-conscious or criticized that we stopped being free, that we stopped feeling brave and beautiful enough to fly like this little one…
Tribes are a beautiful thing. These are our people, the people to whom we belong and who belong to us. While we can have many friends, our tribe is special. It is those to whom we are truly connected in a very deep and real way. They are never farther away than a phone call. They know our stories. They have our back. They celebrate with us…the little moments and the big moments. They pour into us. They help us pluck up courage and chutzpah when we need it. They make us feel… (read more)
Dear Friends,
There are a lot of hurting people out there. You may be one of those. Life is hard. I know mine is. I don’t talk about it, because I prefer not to focus on those things. This blog is my escape from it. It’s my place to help me get through the hard stuff. It’s conversations I have with with you, with myself. It’s things God shows me, and writing helps me to process it and organize my thoughts. It gives me vision, courage, and inspiration. I am writing all of this to say that I do not want anyone to read what I write and feel… (Read more…)
