Happy Good Friday!

Happy Good Friday!

I have this picture on my dining room wall. Several years ago, my husband and I went out for coffee at a Christian coffee shop, and this picture was hanging in their little gift shop. I could not take my eyes off it all night! I mentioned it to my husband, and he surprised me at Christmas with it a few months later. Why couldn’t I keep my eyes off it? I grew up in church … Read entire article »

OK 2 Be U(nique)!

OK 2 Be U(nique)!

There is only one you! Did you know that? Of course you did. 🙂 Do you remember when you learned about your unique fingerprints . . . or how about your one-of-a-kind DNA? I know you noticed the differences in everyone’s hair and skin color, height, width, the shape of our eyes, nose, ears, hips and yes – even our thighs.  🙂 So, if we know we are all different and that there is no one like us –  then … Read entire article »

Happy Valentine’s Day! You are LOVED!

Happy Valentine’s Day! I had wanted to say Happy Valentine’s Day to all of you earlier today, but I ended spending the day preparing to surprise my kids and hubby with a turkey dinner, “fancy” decorations for the table (including the “good” plates and glasses), homemade Valentine’s cards for the kids (that started off going to be just a simple cut out heart – but I got carried away cutting hearts!), Fundamiddles cupcakes and more! Currently my 9 year old just taught me how to play Texas Hold’em with him and his 7 year old sister (probably good ages for me to play against – as I don’t have a clue what I’m doing!). Then later we are using our FREE Redbox code we got on Facebook for Valentine’s to watch … Read entire article »

You are (already) LOVED!!

You are (already) LOVED!!

“She’ll kill herself trying to earn my love – when it’s hers already.” – Michael Hosea from the book Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers You are LOVED! The quote above hit me this morning as I was listening to this book on CD. You truly are loved . . . . already! There is nothing that you (as a mom, wife, friend, worker, nurse, teacher, doctor, etc) have to do, have done, need to do, or will do that will … Read entire article »

Laughter – Good medicine for your body, soul and spirit!

Need a Laugh?! I just wanted to share some laughter with you today!  It really is good medicine – for body, soul and spirit! I don’t know what your week has been like . . . frustrating, tiring, exciting, full of surprises (good?  bad?), depressing . . . ??  Mine has been full of many things – good and “not-what-I-expected” . . . but either way – I think today we all need a good belly laugh! I … Read entire article »

The Lie that keeps you from Dreaming

The Lie that keeps you from Dreaming

Creativity What do you see when you look at this picture? (It’s called “Heart Dance” by my good friend Nicole.) Do you think she’s creative?  Would you say that she has some artistic talent?  Don’t you just love this painting?! When I look at this picture – it just makes me happy . . . it really does make my Heart Dance! 🙂 But Nicole hasn’t always been a painter.  She’s been a variety of things – but I don’t … Read entire article »

Has depression hit you like a mac truck – or maybe rolled in like a storm front? You are not alone! We’ve all been there to varying degrees.  I’ve been in what seemed like a slippery slope into the pit of hell a … Read entire article »

Feeling Hopeless & Helpless in a Dark Time? No way out?

Feeling Hopeless & Helpless in a Dark Time?  No way out?

Hopeless and Helpless Every person who has walked the face of this earth has most likely experienced a time in their life that felt dark. The degree to which that darkness surrounds and invades our lives can vary greatly.  Many of you are in a season, a prison, a dark room in which you WISH there was light coming in from a window at least like the vision in this picture.  But many of you are in … Read entire article »

Graham Cooke If you haven’t heard me say it before . . . I LOVE Graham Cooke!
