New Year’s Resolutions
With the new year comes a clean slate. Many people take this opportunity to make “new year’s resolutions.” A fresh start with a bright future, forgetting what lies behind, lends itself to optimism. “This year will be different,” the mind whispers. But will it? Why are so many resolutions not accomplished? Many have given up […]
A Message in the Trash
There’s a message in the trash. Today when I was driving on 540 I rode through what appeared to be a busted bag of garbage of the household variety…soup cans, paper towels, possibly articles of clothing and newspapers. Litter was widely scattered across all lanes. A view in my rear view mirror revealed a […]
I’m Going to Quit
….striving. Yes, I’m going to quit forcing my way through the doors. BUT… Questions still loom: 1. How do you know if the door is supposed to be closed? …OR… 2. How do you know if the door is just a challenge to make you stronger? Which is it? “When God closes a door […]
Analysis Paralysis
Like a deer caught in headlights, making a decision can be paralyzing. Why? Fear of failure, perhaps? Confusion? Can the brain not think about more than one thing at a time? Not to decide is to decide! I am suffering from this malady right now. I have pages of original thoughts to organize into blog […]
Curse of the Capable
Just because you CAN do something doesn’t mean you SHOULD do it. Saying “yes” to everything (because you CAN) means you’ll be doing everything until you CAN”T.

Really, be your own unique self! It seems strange but we almost need to give ourselves permission to be authentic, to be our real selves. Somewhere along the way we grow out of being free and uninhibited. Remember when you expressed yourself artistically…albeit with crayons on the wall…and proudly showed off your work? Or, […]
Living the Success Trivium
It comes in threes! What does? Well, some say tragedy does. Ummm, matter does-solid, liquid, gas. People do-birth, life, death and while alive, people exist in body, mind and soul. God does-Father, Son, Holy Spirit. Color does-primarily-blue, red, yellow. Does success have three parts? I believe so. I call this the SUCCESS TRIVIUM of integrity, […]
Wait for Boaz
Had to pass this bit of advice along to any lonely young girls. Not sure of the original source, but it was discovered on the ever-present facebook! To all the girls who are in a hurry to have a boyfriend or get married, a piece of Biblical advice: “Ruth patiently waited for her mate Boaz.” […]
Silent Suffocation
Are you one of the many women who are silently suffocating because of the masks you hide behind or others force you to wear? Have you lost yourself in your disguise? Does fear stop you from being the real you? Break free and breathe! Embrace your uniqueness and find your purpose in life. You […]
