It’s true.  You get what you give.  Sometimes what we want so, so much is something we are not giving.  And because we don’t give it, we never receive it.  What do you think other people see when they look at you or what do you think they feel “comes from you” once they’ve been […]

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 […]

I know you do it.  I know you do it because that’s the kind of person you are.  Even when you are going through your own storm, even when you are at your darkest hour, you help and bless someone else. Your greatest test is when you are able to bless someone else while you […]

Have you ever been friends with someone who you now label as a “taker”?  Or maybe you were in a relationship with someone who was a “taker” and never a “giver”?  Most of us have been there.  Either we were in a romantic relationship with someone who “was all about them” and always took from […]

All of us have them.  Haters.  The people who secretly or not-so-secretly want to see you fail.  They pretend that they want you to be successful, but behind your back, they’re hoping you’ll fail.  Don’t worry about them. Quit worrying about the people who are trying to hold you back.  God knows how to move […]

I have really high days.  These days are like I am flying.  Everything goes great.  Everything is well with all my family, friends and animals and everything is well with my work.  And then there are days that I “fall”.  These are days when I have something bothering me.  Something may be wrong in my […]

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 […]

You’re not where you are by accident.  You’re here because you’ve prayed a lot.  You’re here because you’re a fighter.  You’re here because you don’t know the meaning of “quit”.  You’re here because you are strong. My grandmother used to look at me and ask, “You ain’t got no quit in you, do you, girl?” […]

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 […]

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 […]
