The original goal for my blog was to write from my heart with a desire to encourage and inspire people in their life journey. And I just wanted to write. Because I love writing. I’m not sure that I’m any good at it but it gives me joy. And thus, this blog began. A journeyContinue reading “The Joy of Evolving”

THESE THINGS DO NOT DEFINE US
COPING WITH THE CHANGE: HOW TO EMBRACE THE UNEXPECTED
Has your life changed because of the pandemic? Are you struggling with the changes? I think we would be hard pressed to find someone that has not experienced change in the past 9 months. I am no exception. When the world seemed to push a pause button last March because of the worldwide pandemic, IContinue reading “COPING WITH THE CHANGE: HOW TO EMBRACE THE UNEXPECTED”
DON’T LET AGE BE A DEFINING FACTOR IN HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE
Recently, I was completely inspired by my colleague and team member, Judith Robbins, MA, LPC when she said, “85 (years old) is the new 65!” I have resolved to make my own resolution. “Fifty is the new thirty!” And as Joyce Meyer says, “I am not aging. I am youthing.” Did you know? • ColonelContinue reading “DON’T LET AGE BE A DEFINING FACTOR IN HOW YOU LIVE YOUR LIFE”
DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: LIGHTHOUSES ~ MY LIFELONG SYMBOL OF HOPE
In my previous post, “My Phoenix Rising from the Ashes”, I began sharing about the cognitive shift that took place when my life fell to ruins. I didn’t share that this took place when I was 44 years old. I had spent my 30’s as a stay-at-home mom, my late 30’s and early 40’s asContinue reading “DARKNESS BEFORE DAWN: LIGHTHOUSES ~ MY LIFELONG SYMBOL OF HOPE”
Do More of What Brings You Joy
I have been journaling ever since I was a freshman in high school. I was really struggling with what I now know to be depression and my dear beloved Pastor Woody Floto suggested it as a tool to talk to God and share my feelings with Him. I started then and have been doing itContinue reading “Do More of What Brings You Joy”

I should really… (insert journaling or going for a walk or reading or do a puzzle or any of the other things on myContinue reading “Self-Care Isn’t As Effective When I Don’t “Set My Mind” To It”
Self-Care Isn’t Self-Care Unless I Actually DO It! It’s As Simple As That!
I have a confession to make. I was SO excited about a number of things that I am working on, this blog being one of them, that I was going full steam ahead without taking adequate care of myself. I have felt this fire within and it makes me feel so alive! But I hadContinue reading “Self-Care Isn’t Self-Care Unless I Actually DO It! It’s As Simple As That!”
Perfect in My Imperfection
Are any of you perfectionists? I am and I can tell you it is NOT something that has served me well throughout my lifetime. It has been stifling. It has been crippling. It has stopped me from doing something even before I ever got started. It fuels the fire of self-doubt and self-criticism. None ofContinue reading “Perfect in My Imperfection”
Technophobia Tailspin Take Aback
Technophobia – definition (noun) – an irrational (not irrational for me) or disproportionate fear (huh, disproportionate you you say? Nope, not disproportionate to me, this lion size fear) of technology, especially… to advanced digital technology (Do email landing pages, plugins, jetpacks, taglines, domains, etc. all count as advanced? They sure feel like advanced to me.Continue reading “Technophobia Tailspin Take Aback”
