God reminds me daily that I am Free Indeed! I’m free from yearning for others’ approval, and I’m free to love!

You Can Recapture First Love

Danny and I watched a 60’s movie last night. Honestly we are running out of options in the movie department. We try something that has a great plot and then we turn it off – too much gore or too much profanity or both. But this movie last night was a hoot. We laughed as we realized how quickly a song in a movie can transport us back in time and recapture a memory of days gone by. Oh beloved, we…

How to live full of love and confidence

How to live full of love and confidence

Hello my friends!

Before you get too excited, I by no means will be telling you that I have achieved the perfect way to live fully confident and loved every day of my life. On the contrary, assuming that you have read a few of my most recent blog posts, I want to share with you a few things that have been helping me through this continuing process of learning how to reset my mind and learning how…

We all have a story to tell...

We all have a story to tell…

Hello my friends!

No matter where you are in life, I believe we all have a story to tell….

How can we be heard?

How will people actually listen?

Why would we want to share our story?

Honestly, it’s not until we own our story that we can truly be authentic and transparent with others. We can laugh and smile wherever we go, but how much longer can we wear a mask around our fragile hearts? Isn’t “to…

Have you ever paused think about how opinionated we as humans can be. Everyone's got one from a-z. In a recent conversation with a CEO he made the statement "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say it all." We all would probably say amen to that. But yet we feel like we have the authority to say what we want about each other's lives. That our opinion will help someone else change, and as a bonus we expect their change to meet our expectations. Let's deconstruct that for a second. Change? We can't change another human being no matter how hard we try. Just ask a married person. Change happens when we are ready for a different experience or solution in our life. And like the old adage, "when the student is ready the teacher appears." Change happens because we start asking ourselves questions.  So what if we wouldn't share opinions unless asked. How about we take responsibility for our own life and leave it at that?  While we're on topic how about others peoples problems; maybe we think we have a more effective way of doing things, maybe someone messed up and we share our shoulda, coulda, woulda. Maybe we think we could have saved someone from going thru a painful experience. Our heart seems good. But does it really ever meet our expectations. We all have problems, and really they are opportunity for change. But an opinion won't clean up a mess, it adds to it. Like my mom used to tell all us children. If you make the bed, you're gonna have to lie in it and if you don't like how you did it you're the only one who can find the solution. A wise mom we have! .

Sometimes we have to have not so fun conversations, and there are ways to go about it with honor and integrity. I'll share a tip that has saved me so many times; you can say how you feel, but never attack the integrity of the other person. Because if you do, the conversation is over. They can't hear anymore. .

And if that doesn't work, and the pain continues, create boundaries. :) .

Love and blessings to you!!

Love treated like a business, means there are constant expectations of being repaid. Unlike Abba, who's love is relentless in affection and pursuit of relationship with no list of accounts to be paid in return.

I loved once, I loved twice. I wish the best for everyone and I won't apologize for that. I've lost friends, I've lost loved ones. It is here - where everything is striped away and the truth laid bare that I have found that I am free.
