Where has respect gone? It seems to be a distant concept–something people did “back in the day”. Families don’t seem to have respect among themselves and the way I hear children talk to their parents, parents don’t seem to teach it either. What’s happened? Children and young people do not seem to respect each other […]

I Want A Happy Life
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-filled folks. I don’t want […]
Always Believe
Do you wake up happy? Or are you one of those that needs a wide berth before your first couple cups of coffee? Did you know that one, small positive thought in the morning can change your entire day to a positive day? And that one day can change your week which can change your […]
God Is 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 […]
Before You…
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.

Never Be A Prisoner Of Your Past
It’s really hard not to have regrets and not look back. But you do your present and your future a great disservice by holding onto the past. You cannot change it, edit it, alter it, refine it or wish it into something else. It is what it was. And it ain’t going to change. Ever. […]
Ignore Those People Who Criticize Your Life
Stop wasting time. Time is too, too precious to waste. Don’t do it. Your peace of mind and your contentment are too important. Don’t let your heart and soul be affected by those who criticize your life. It just isn’t worth it. Constructive criticism is one thing, but here, I am talking about people who […]
I’ve Learned
I’ve learned. A lot. And I learn every day and I pray that I continue to learn every day until the day I die. I never, ever want to be at a place where I stop learning. Isn’t that what life is all about? Learning? In my life, I’ve lived, I’ve loved, I’ve lost, I’ve […]
