I'm thinking that we all could show ourselves some grace this time of year. I originally wrote this article for the August/September issue of Women2Women Michigan Magazine (I'm the editor and write a column). I believe it is quite timely for now, during a time when we are so stressed, and demanding of ourselves. Read it,… Continue reading The Grace Experiment
Do you get distracted when you look at others, their posts, their accomplishments? Are you comparing? I sure do, at times. Then I remind myself that we all have different callings, abilities, lights to shine. It's really destructive to compare because we will not "measure up". So, keep on pursuing your own purpose. And don't… Continue reading Comparison is Distracting
Is there a goal or dream niggling at your heart? Do you have big plans on the back burner that you have only shared with your trusted friend? Perhaps you are just a leetle bit afraid to dream BIG for fear of disappointment. I understand that. I've been there! But you know what? This 2018… Continue reading Wings and Dreams
Today is my birthday!! I thought it quite appropriate to post this today, since I am entering a "milestone" birthday this year--that of receiving Medicare.

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
Fear can keep you from attaining something you want. Whether you think it's possible or not depends on the way you see yourself. Believe that you are capable of anything and you will be. Some days it feels like just getting through the day is impossible! But don't ya know? I make… Continue reading Does It Seem Impossible?
So really. Why would you follow in the exact footprints of someone else? They do not have YOUR unique qualities, gifts, abilities, and desires, and you don't have theirs. Should you fashion your life after what other people say? Should you let what is important to them be what guides you? Perhaps to some degree, if they are… Continue reading Write Your Own Script, My Dear
