Beauty From Ashes
Are you counting your blessings or your problems? If we really sit and think about it, what we tend to focus on more as humans, it’s our problems. We can find ourselves always complaining, woe as me, life sucks, when will it get better! The car broke down, the bills are late, the house needs…
Grace Gives Life to Hope
Grace, what does it really mean, and why is it so important? Grace is such a powerful action, a choice that we must all make. Grace means to extend kindness, understanding, compassion and even forgiveness, even when someone has fallen short, made mistakes, had a bad attitude, without imposing our own judgements. Grace is about…
Hope Gives Light to the Darkness
Most of us have had seasons of darkness. Times where we were scared, sad, lonely and felt helpless. We may have lost our job, a loved one, a beloved fur baby, too many other things in this cruel world we live in today. Some of us may have gone through a breakup, divorced after years…
Happiness – Risks and Rewards
Happiness is a human emotion that is sometime felt only for a brief time, and sometimes, for some people, it will last their whole lives. A lot of us that have been unhappy, have brought it upon ourselves by the choices we made. Either out of stupidity, being too young or out of fear. Sometimes…
Strength is a Lady Named……
Tomorrow is Mother’s Day and that day always brings up a lot of different emotions for me, as I am not lucky enough to still have my momma, nor was I blessed enough to become a mom myself in this life. I have, however, been blessed enough to have had – and still have – many strong…
Rise Up and Live Life
All humans have had something they have survived in their lives. Doesn’t matter what walk of life we come from, where we live, if we come from a good family or not, have money or not, we all have survived something in our lives. Just think about that for a minute………. Sometimes we get so wrapped up…
Respect… Give It, Get It.
Every day when we go out into the world, we never know who or what we are going to run into. We don’t know if we will come across people that are in a good mood or a foul, nasty one. Either way, it should have no bearing on us or own mood. Why shouldn’t it,…
Living In Color
Today is an AWESOME day! The sun is shining, the bills are paid, there’s good music on the radio, and all is right with the world. Today is a live in color day! What does it mean to live in color? To me it means that I look for the good stuff: the beauty, the…
Vicissitudes
We will all face changes and challenges in our lives. There’s no avoiding it. Why? Because change is an integral, important, and necessary part of life. From the moment we are born we are changing: our physical appearance, the way we think, reason and see the world, we are constantly in motion, in change. We change our dreams,…
New Year, New Day!
Happy New Year! Today is the 4th day of the new year and it’s time to say goodbye to one more year on the calendar of our lives. While some of us may be saying good riddance, thank goodness THAT is over. Some of us may be wishing 2015 could go on forever, it was…
Giving Lasts Forever!
We can all agree that Getting, ROCKS, Right!?! Well yeah of course it does, but Giving is SOOOOO much better, let me tell you why. When I talk about giving, I’m not talking about giving a pair of socks, a coffee maker, the latest phone or gadget, and the just because I have to, gifts. I mean giving…
