Do Not Be Anxious? But How??? (Free E-book)
This may be TMI, but recently I found that my hair was falling like crazy. You could literally trace my path through my house because I left a trail behind me like a dystopic Gretel (The one with the breadcrumb trail from the rather disturbing fairytale). My bathroom floor, pillows, the kitchen counter, and every ...
7 Simple Steps To Start Bible Journaling
As a young teen, I read The Diary of Anne Frank, the well-known compilation of journal entries of a young girl who lived in hiding during the Holocaust. Captivated and inspired by Anne, I began journaling almost as soon as I put down the iconic book.
Today, as a mama in her mid-forties, I’ve been journaling for about ...
Hope For When You Feel Stuck
“This is going nowhere.”
Have you ever thought those words or voiced them when frustration mounted and you were ready to call it quits?
Confession time: I have.
Multiple times.
I’ve been ready to throw in the towel because it felt like things were stuck, or like I was going in circles, or like I was on a road ...
Let Your SMART Goals Give Way To WISE Ones
We’re six months into 2022, halfway through the year — which means by now we should have checked off half the goals which we charted out at the beginning of the year. You know, written half the book. Run half the marathons. Lost half the weight. Cleaned out half our drawers and closets. Saved half ...
When You Feel Like You’re Not In Control
“What in the world am I doing on this thing?”
That single thought seized me as I found myself suspended from what was essentially a swing on steroids, 40 feet above the ground.
The “thing” was actually called “The Giant Swing” and it was one of the activities at an adventure park we visited over the weekend.
Not ...
The (Surprising) Thing To Do When You’re Overwhelmed
Chances are, you have a lot on your plate at the moment.
Scratch that.
Chances are, you don’t just have one plate with stuff on it, but so many that you could possibly open a crockery store. (Anyone think they have enough inventory to start a Corelle franchise with me?)
Chances are, most of us are overwhelmed by ...
What We Can Learn From Walter
A 100-year-old man recently won the Guinness World Record for working at the same company for an incredible 84 years. In a day and age when people jump jobs quicker than a caffeinated kangaroo, Walter Orthmann has worked for the same textile company in Brazil since when he was 15 years old.
Walter, who celebrated his ...
Love Shouldn’t Prompt You To Share Good Advice
She suddenly appeared at our table and interrupted our conversation: “I hope you won’t mind if I joined you all for five minutes.”
I froze because she was a complete stranger.
My mom and aunt, on the other hand, indicated to her that she could sit with us.
The lady slid into the sofa seat next to me ...
Hurting People Don’t Need This (As Much As We Think They Do)
Six months ago, our seemingly perfect life was fragmented by the sudden passing of my husband’s dad. As waves of grief engulfed us, we also got slammed with health concerns and job transitions, and the pressures that come with unforeseen changes. It felt like a punch in the gut, followed by less-intense-but-painful jabs that knocked ...
