Your opinion matters
I started blogging to help people rebuild their lives after loss. It is something I am very passionate about. I walked this journey without the help from other’s who have experienced loss. I felt alone. I had friends and loved one’s who tried to help but they just did not understand what I was going through. I don’t want that to happen to you. I want to better understand you, the reader of my…

Setting goals will make you more successful.
Setting goals will make you more successful.
Today we will look back to another blog post I wrote about setting goals. Admittedly this is a hard thing for me to do. But it is something that I am working on to improve my life and achieve my desired results.
Are you a dreamer, drifter or goal setter?
Do you have a goal? Are you a goal setter? Or maybe you are more of a to-do list maker. I have a confession to make. I never really took goal…

Life doesn't go as planned
When life doesn't go as planned, all hope is lost. You have a choice to make. You can live a life filled with sorrow and regrets or you can rebuild your life and move forward with new dreams or a variation of past dreams.
In life, most things do not go the way we planned. The car won’t start and you won’t get to work as early as you planned. The family get together is not as joyful as you planned. Or one day you realize you have been working at dead end jobs and not pursuing your passion.
As a young person, we dreamed of the life we wanted to live. As we grew, our dreams changed. Many of us have had several dreams…

Be mindful of the things you say
Mind what you say. We say things that we have heard others say in times of grief because we do not know what else to say. But are the things we say helpful? Find out in today's blog post.

It is natural for people express words of comfort those we love in their time of pain and sorrow. Your intentions are…

Dads
Honoring the memory of father's no longer with us on Father's day.
Happy Fathers Day. I have two fathers to honor on Father’s Day, the father of our son and the father who gave me life. Neither one is living. My husband passed in 2005 and my father passed in 2009. I miss the both so very much. Each of them taught me so much about life and love.
This is a picture of my father and me. This was taken after he returned from serving in Vietnam. My dad served twenty…

Help Wanted
Help Wanted. The daunting search for employment. How do you set your resume apart for the six second review of the hiring manager?
Whether you are employed or unemployed searching for a job is no fun! The search is daunting to say the least. These days you have to really search to find help wanted advertisements. Employment opportunities are not just posted in the help wanted section of the newspaper. They are on job listings websites, the companies website (usually hidden at the bottom of the page under careers), or you…

Honoring Moms
Holidays can be especially difficult when your loved one has died. No matter how long they have been gone, holidays have a way of opening up the pain. It is hard for me to believe that my mother has been gone eleven years.
I never realized how strong my mother was until I became a mother. She gave birth to seven children and miscarried a set of twins. Two of the seven children died within a…

Get back up
Life is an ebb and flow of good times and times of pain. We will go through more than one painful time in our lives. We can't avoid difficulties but we can get back up again. I hope you allow your pain to become someone's comfort.
A death, a relationship ending, a job loss, bankruptcy, a traumatic life altering event, all have the power to knock you down. Life tries to take you out. A crippling spirit paralyzes you. It takes your breath away. Any momentum you had has halted. You feel hopeless and alone.
What do you do when you are knocked down? Do you let it keep you down permanently? Do you give up your hopes and dreams?…
