My husband and I belong to a small group in our church. They are all absolutely wonderful, funny, and loving people. We usually play a game, converse about a Bible topic, and close with prayer for each other. During this COVID-19 season, we are using Zoom to meet, and just recently started talking about the…

The 10 Minutes that Will Change Your Life
We all have those long lists of things that we want to do but never seem to have the time for. Come days off, help, or even New Years, and we still don't make the time for them. One day, when for whatever random reason we decide to pick it up, it takes us a…

Living for the Every Day
I've been listening to a book about thriving, since you know, I am into that sort of thing. The author had recently gone through a life change after collapsing from exhaustion. One of the tools that she has recurred to is meditation, and in the book, within it she jumps into the topic of mindfulness.…
Mrs. Fixer Upper
A week or two ago a friend approached me asking me to identify three blind spots in her. It was part of an exercise done in her leadership group. I shared a few things that she could work on and asked her to do the same for me. One of the things that she pointed…

She has most recently had a series of migraines and explains how they were triggered by her need for productivity. She…

The Organization Trap
As I was perusing through YouTube, I saw one of the people I follow showing how she was transforming her pantry with labels and containers. It looked beautiful, but it also made me cringe.
