You have to live your life for yourself. You can’t let anyone else’s opinion change who you are or what you do. Once you start changing who you are to please someone else, you can become stressed, less confident, less self-assured and depressed. No matter what you do, someone will talk about you. Someone will […]

Don’t Let People Bring You Down
Some days, you just have to remind yourself that there are very unhappy people out there. And they’ll do anything to make you unhappy too. On yesterday, I had a mean post left on my page. It read: “I would display your badge except sometimes the language you use is filthy. I usually enjoy your […]
Here’s A Hug-Good Night & God Bless
Research shows that hugging is effective at healing or lessening sickness, loneliness, depression, anxiety and stress. And in our stressful world, we could use a lot of hugs to make our homes, our schools, our places of worship and our workplaces less stressful. Don’t you agree? As human beings, we tend to “feel” nurtured when […]
God’s Changing Your Heart
We’ve all had prayers that we’ve prayed over and over again. But no matter how long or how much we prayed, the situation just didn’t change. Can you relate? Maybe you were praying about a family member. Maybe it was about a spouse. Maybe you were praying about a job situation. But the situation stayed […]
Life Is An Echo
Some people call it Karma. I’ve always felt that the way Life happens for me is that God works in mysterious ways. Life is an echo. Oh yes, it is, my friend. You’ve heard this quote in many versions, I’m sure. What goes around, comes around. What you do to others, will be done to you…and […]
Good Night & God Bless
You may think that you didn’t get enough done today. You did. Tonight, don’t worry over what you think you’ve left undone. Worrying isn’t going to help anything. Worrying isn’t going to make more “stuff” get done. What’s done is done. Day is over, night has come. Today is gone, what’s done is done. Embrace […]
Boundaries-Why We Need Them
I often read blogs and content of Facebook pages about “setting boundaries”. I see things like, “If you don’t set your boundaries, you’ll get run over” or “Make sure you set those boundaries”. I’ve sometimes thought that those quotes and narrative sounded a little cold, that they sound mean or unkind, but I don’t think […]
Blessed & Grateful
I woke up really, really tired this morning. Okay, I guess it is bad to start out a blog post that way, but it’s true. I guess we all have those mornings. Those mornings where we just want to pull the covers back over us, take a deep breath, snuggle in and sleep…and sleep some […]
Good Night & God Bless
Relax. Take a deep breath. Now, exhale. Take another deep breath. Exhale. Let the stress of the day leave your body as you exhale. Let the stress go and release all your tension. Shake it off if you need to. Tonight, let your stress go. Take a step back and remember everything you’ve accomplished. Remember […]
Before You Do Anything
Did you mother ever say, “Talk less, listen more” or “You can’t just speak anything that comes into your head…THINK first!” Mine did. As younger people, we have all made incorrect assumptions, made hurtful judgments, hurt others and we’ve all spoken before thinking. Before you assume, learn the facts. Before you judge, understand why. Before […]
