My power 

Embrace who you are and the beauty you are.  I can be moved to tears so easily, especially when it’s something that truly tugs at my heart.  For a long time I was searching to figure out exactly who I was. And I have realized something so powerful. I am uniquely made in God’s image.… Continue reading My power

Show Genuine Interest

Among the many things that I enjoy doing with my husband, one of my favorites and top of the list is going to church together. We’ve been going to Parkcrest Christian Church together since 2006 (a few months after we started dating) and it’s a connection we share that has become a very important part of… Continue reading Show Genuine Interest

Often times it’s so much easier to sink in our problems or worries and we forget that we have a choice in everything. Some things are just out of our… Continue reading Sink or Swim?

Acknowledging Emotions

I’ve been thinking a lot about Zen and meditation these past few days. I ended up taking a break again because I was finding that I wasn’t going as often as I should and wasting a good deal of money every month. I still plan on going back again but not until after I finish… Continue reading Acknowledging Emotions

Positive Influences

I was just about to write some random stuff for today’s post and then my brother sparked inspiration in me. Before I get started though I want to share a little bit about what led to the inspiration my brother triggered and thus reminded me about Sunday’s topic at Church. Last week I made plans with my brother… Continue reading Positive Influences
