P.A.U.S.E. Feb 26, 2023

Do you remember the Bugs Bunny cartoon with the Tasmanian devil swirling and whirling around – going everywhere and now where.

Then all of a sudden, he’d STOP

He looked frazzled and crazy, panting and eyes googly.

THAT WAS ME!

A mentor gave me a challenge.

Can you pause long enough to...

REST Dec 13, 2022

REST means stop all movement and sit. Well, this is my elementary definition yet an honest one.

Rejoice, I Say Rejoice! Dec 01, 2022

I’ve been repeating this in my mind for the last week as I think of the word of the month – REJOICE.

Thankful for the Little Things Nov 01, 2022

Many years ago, when I sobered up and walked into the rooms of a twelve-step program I refused to acknowledge a higher power or God. No way was I going to try to let God into my life because the God I understood had a sludge hammer and was surely going to club me over the head for all the...

Obey or NOT Sep 15, 2022

Obey is a word that can stop you right in your tracks.

When was the last time you did something for yourself?


Was it today, OR like many women, you can’t remember the last time because it’s been too long ago?

Unity with God May 01, 2022

Being one with God is the ONLY thing that keeps me sane because God is good, merciful, powerful, loving, joy, and peace, to mention just a few attributes.
