Living With Hope Changes Everything!

When you have hope, it changes everything in your life! 

When you focus on the negative or you worry too much, these G-R-O-W!

When these grow, your thought process becomes irrational and then your feelings and mood turn to blue and depression. You start to have anxiety and feel anxious.

Next, your actions will be influenced by your negative thoughts and feelings.

Thus, if you choose to have hope in your life............... you are setting up your mind and body for a better outcome!

Choose to Have Hope!

Having an Attitude of Gratitude When You Feel as Though You Have Nothing

It is very difficult sometimes to just get through the day when you feel low in spirits.


When you feel as though you do not have what you want or need in your life, it is not easy to be thankful.  

However, even when it is not readily evident, you can always find blessings among the chaos of life. 

It is often in our worst and most painful moments in life when we see God move the most.


He reveals himself to us in the midst of our struggles if we simply look for.. and seek Him in our lives. For as it says in Matthew 7:7, "Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

"Do Not Judge Me On My Past- I Do Not Live There Anymore"

Please do not judge me based on my past- as I do not live there anymore!

I have a past that is not too pretty. I am divorced. I was abused. I have made mistakes. I have had extreme struggles. I have been homeless. I have lived with only having hand- me- downs to wear. I could go on and on and on......

I am not my past. I am healed from past traumas and anxiety. I am whole. I am happy. I have forgiven and I am forgiven. 

I am a more compassionate counselor having gone through tragedies and having made mistakes in my life.

You are not your past either. Use what you have been through to grow and learn.

Also, learn to look at others with optimism on what they can become with what they have gone through- whether it was something they did or something that was done to them. 

We are all God's children and we all make mistakes. Do not judge others because they sin differently then you - or because their mistakes or problems are not as visible as yours. 

Choose instead -- to offer people who most people judge with a stigma----- love and support.

In Memory of My Mother- Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day- Learn the Symptoms

The 17th of Nov. is Pancreatic Cancer Day.

This is very dear to my heart.

My mother passed away from this type of cancer when I was in my 20's.

Pancreatic Cancer is the 7th most common cause of cancer-related death in Men and Women across the globe.

Learn the warning signs-   
Pancreatic Cancer Symptoms:

Pancreatic cancer typically does not cause symptoms until it has grown, so it is most frequently diagnosed in advanced stages rather than early in the course of the disease. In some cases, jaundice (a yellowish discoloration of the skin and whites of the eyes) without pain can be an early sign of pancreatic cancer. Other symptoms that can occur with more advanced disease are:

  • nausea,
  • vomiting,
  • weight loss,
  • itching skin, and
  • decreased appetite.
Pale stools, back pain, abdominal pain, dark urine, abdominal bloating, diarrhea, and enlarged lymph nodes in the neck can be present as well.

The pancreas is located in the abdomen and has endocrine and exocrine functions. Cancer cells can develop from both types of functional cells.
