Do You Love Your Child “Every Single Bit”?

I designed this card to express how I feel about my children. How about saying these words to your own children? Help them feel like precious treasures. Because when children know that they are amazing and wonderful and CHERISHED, they have a healthy foundation for self-love and courage, and know that they have a safe… Continue reading Do You Love Your Child “Every Single Bit”?

Life Ain’t Always Sunshine and Roses

So here’s the deal. It’s NOT always sparkle and shine in my life. There are days like this week when I am burdened for a precious friend and feel helpless in the situation. When I am a bit tired of working, parenting alone, being this age with kids, being indoors, wanting something fun, loneliness, just… Continue reading Life Ain’t Always Sunshine and Roses

I’m An Overcomer

Having children with special needs is such a challenge! But one thing I've learned....it keeps us TOTALLY dependent on God. No way can I be "in control" because in the blink of an eye, our life could be in shambles.   There are days my prayer has been, "Oh God, oh God, oh God" because… Continue reading I’m An Overcomer

Choosing Joy

"Joy" is one of my favorite words. Even when life is a disappointment or a trial, we can still have a consistent joy. I believe that joy is that which runs deep in our spirit, and it flows from gratitude and appreciation, and the ability to recognize and cultivate them. Sometimes having joy requires making the… Continue reading Choosing Joy

Eighteen Days of Whew!

In that two and a half weeks I: had four days of vendor shows, including three setup-and-takedowns taught reading to kindergarteners for four days, drove to Kentucky and back (7 hours one way) to celebrate Thanksgiving with my… Continue reading Eighteen Days of Whew!

You Are MORE!

  It doesn't matter what is being said about you. It doesn't matter what others think of you. What matters is what you think of yourself! And if you believe lies about yourself, then you will act on those lies instead of the truth.   Any words that make you seem "less than" the amazing… Continue reading You Are MORE!
