The most important thing to remember when you are going through difficult times is to hold onto hope. Never, ever give up. As long as you have hope, you can make it. You’ve heard the quote, “Don’t give up. Your miracle will occur just around the corner.” This is so true. I’ve learned from life […]
Love Your Own Company
Are you comfortable with your own company? No one else…just you. You are? Me too. As a matter of fact, I love my own company. I probably love my own company a little too much. Sitting alone and enjoying your own company is better than being surrounded by fake people. ~Unknown Humans are wired to be […]
Always, Always Bless Others
It always makes my day when I am able to do something for someone. My heart feels good and I feel alive when I am able to bless someone. The kindness you give isn’t always the same thing you get in return. Sometimes, it’s more and sometimes, it’s less. Worse, sometimes you get none at all. But remember, […]
Ignore Mean People
Read it as many times as you need to. Let it sink in. That’s what I had to do this morning. I read it over and over again. Should you ever find yourself the victim of other people’s bitterness, jealousy, lies and insecurities…DON’T BE MAD. Remember, things could be worse. YOU COULD BE THEM. ~Unknown Most of us can always […]

You might feel unwanted and unworthy to one person, but you are priceless to another. Don’t ever forget your […]
What We’ll Be One Day
I once heard a young man say to an older man, “You’re getting a little older now and you can’t do…” Before he could finish, the older man quickly piped up and said, “You listen here, young man. One day they’ll be an older man knocking at your front door, too.” I have never forgotten […]

The soul singer has been reported to be in quickly failing health for years and appeared frail in recent photos. But she has kept her […]
Good Friends Make Life Better
Life just seems to be better when you have good friends to share it with. They make us laugh more, laugh louder and laugh longer. I have one friend whose laugh is so funny, I laugh at her laugh more than what she says or does. Everyone does. We can be in a large, crowded […]
We’re All Just Walking Each Other Home
We all have people in our past who we may wish we had never met. Especially when we are going through a really hurtful time with that person. But, in fact, you were supposed to meet them. Every person in your life is there for a reason. Whether they are with you for a season […]
