Our Mistakes - They Do Not Define Us


Our mistakes do not define us.

It is in how we respond to them and perhaps correct them that is important.

When You Cannot Talk or Pray- God Hears Your Heart


I used to teach a small group Bible study at my church for single adults.

One evening, I had a woman come to my class and I will never forget what she said. 

She stated that she was very upset and not talking to God but that she was still talking to me. 

She was hurting so much that she could not pray to God. However, she still believed in God and his Word so she still came to class. 

If you are struggling, just know that God knows and cares. He has an ever lasting love for you and he hears your heart.

It’s Whats For Dinner!



I am sharing with you my delicious dinner!

Fresh out of my organic garden- several types of greens, lettuces, spinach  and kale!

Then I added carrots, hard boiled eggs, nuts, cherries, strawberries, and grapes!

For dressing, I used a little organic plain kefir - which is like a liquid yogurt.

It’s whats for dinner! Here’s to healthy eating!

Just trying to encourage you to create healthy habits!

Good Food- Good Mood!

Look Ahead of You- And Take That First Step!


While it is important to process and understandably to acknowledge your past, dwelling on the past too much can be counterproductive!

If you are stuck with hurt feelings due to something from your past, seek professional help on how to get THROUGH it.

You have to go through it to get past it.

If you do not, it will continue to surface in unhealthy ways.

After you seek help to work through things, work on letting things go that you no longer need to carry with you.


Then, look forward and LIVE BIG and in the PRESENT!

Feeling Empty Inside- Hope & Help



Have you ever felt so empty that you had no words to even describe it?

It’s not sadness but emptiness.

Feeling empty is a normal way to feel sometimes. It is like feeling numb inside and like there is a void in your life.

I understand how this feels.

It is a void and loneliness beyond words.

Please know that these dark feelings are temporary.

It is important to remember that it is not a good time to make any major decisions. It is also not a good time to make any rash decisions.

Allow yourself to feel what you are feeling. Give yourself permission to feel what and how you truly feel.

Then, tell yourself that this is a temporary state of mind and that things can change. Take slow deep breaths, take a walk, draw a picture, journal, listen to uplifting music, listen to an uplifting podcast, reach out to a friend or a family member, reach out for professional help, and demonstrate positive self talk.

Reach out for help and change something.

If nothing changes, nothing changes.

Remember that there is always hope.

they will walk and not be faint

We Often Carry Our Own Prisons- Battle Of The Mind





For many of us, our biggest battles are in our minds.

We end up carrying around our own prison within our minds.

We carry around and live in the prison of anxiety.

It can feel like it overtakes us.

It can feel like it is paralyzing us.

You are not alone.

There is help and hope.

Don’t ever give up.

Seek professional help.

God loves you and has a plan for your life.

Healing is possible.

Your life matters.

Thoughts Are Powerful- You Must Learn A New Way To Think Before Your Life Can Change!

If you need to master a new way to navigate your life, you first need to learn how to think differently. 

You need to not only learn to think differently, but you also need to learn how to master a new way of living.

What you focus on grows.

What you focus on influences your feelings and then your behaviors.

New thoughts create a new life!

Believe That Great Things Are In Your Future- Picture This!



Believe!

Believe that great things are coming your way!

You may have a difficult time trying to be positive. That is understandable.

However, you can still choose to speak in a positive manner to yourself.

You can still choose to picture a positive and successful outcome in your life.

What you choose to focus on will grow.

Choose to focus on believing that you can and will change your life for the better.

Create a vision board of pictures of what you would like to have in your life. Cut out and paste pictures on a poster board. Look at it daily and tell yourself that it is on the way! Do what you can to help work toward these changes and let go of what you do not have in your control.

So- picture it and choose to believe!
