As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned to recognize stress “triggers” for me. People who are always creating drama or who are involved in conflict will bring stress into my life if I allow it. I’ve learned over the years to make sure that I steer clear of the drama and conflict folks. I don’t want […]
Beauty Of A Good Heart
All of us have our own perceptions of beauty. We see a beautiful face and we think, “Oh what a beautiful face”. Or we see a really fit, youthful body and we think, “They look so young and fit.” And sometimes our thinking is wistful. We long to be like them, to not have the […]
Be Grateful For The Little Things
We get busy. We are running here and there. We are raising a family. We are providing for our family. We are working. A lot. We are caught up in what is happening at our jobs, in our schools, in our Churches, in our Community, in our States, across our Country and all over the […]
Believe Them The First Time
I always try to look for the good in others. I want to believe that there is goodness in everyone. That everybody has a good heart…that everybody wants to help others…that everybody wants to see others blessed. For the most part, I believe that it’s true. I believe that most people have some goodness in […]
The Ride Goes On
Life goes on. No matter how much you wish that life would slow down just a little bit, it just keeps keepin’ on. And it always will. Life stops for no one. While on this ride called LIFE, you have to take the good with the bad, smile when you’re sad, love what you’ve got and remember what […]
Old Roads, Old Dogs, Old Folks And Old Ways
Let’s slow down for a second. Inhale and slowly exhale. Just breathe. Isn’t our world fast? Today everything just seems to be so sped-up! You hurry to get showered and dressed for your day. You hurry through your first cup of coffee. You hurry to get out the door, drop the kids off and hurry […]
Don’t Wait, Time Marches On
The only thing that stays the same is everything changes. Life happens. Every second of every minute of every day. Life is happening. Time doesn’t slow down for us. No matter how much we want it to. It keeps marching on and the older I get, the faster time marches. Life isn’t going to wait […]
Either They Like You Or They Don’t
Some people are just not going to like you. No matter what you say or do, some people just won’t ever like you. And that’s not on you. That’s something to do with them. It’s who they are. Either they like you or they don’t. Never try to convince somebody of your worth. If a […]
Never Allow Another To Take These From You
Your hopes, your dreams and your goodness. Don’t let anyone take these from you. No matter what. I think these should be included as a part of our inalienable rights. Our hopes, our dreams and our goodness are things that belong to us and no one else. Others can support, others can love you, but […]
You Just Watch Me
I’ve not had a lot of people who have told me that I can’t do something. I was raised by two strong women who instilled in me that with hard word, determination and walking with God, I could do anything. I’ve always believed that. It has helped me so much. There are so many people […]
