CRAZY or STRONG?

Today we use, or rather misuse so many words. Have you noticed? There was a time when we studied a language and used the words available to express a thought or an idea. Words had somewhat universal meanings. Now we are able to string together all sorts of words, phrases and even sounds on text […]

Praising God

A DOER

Praises Go UP!! Hallelujah! These past few weeks have been packed with challenges for me. When I wrote about patience or faith a couple of weeks ago they both looked very much alike to me. My last blog about my zip line experience was a reminder of how much in a panic we can be […]

Zip Line Anyone?

Over this past week, as I stepped into new territory on my faith walk, I was reminded of my first zip line experience of many years ago. The corporation I worked for at the time was focused on leadership team building. This major corporation, one of the top Fortune 500 companies, was interested in improving […]

Are you ready to take a step?

Have you ever thought, how long must I wait? Have you asked, when will this situation change? I am in a season of developing more patience right now. I am learning more about trusting and relying on God. Not the kind of patience where you can see the item cooking in the microwave oven, you […]

Love

Who do you love?

Well how was your Valentine’s Day? Did you get a super-sized floral arrangement? How about a box of candy or maybe both? Did you spend time at a restaurant or get treated to a special home cooked meal? Did you even realize it was Valentine’s Day last Thursday? One of my nieces is born on […]

It’s February Let’s Celebrate!

This month is one with time set aside to honor presidents, African Americans and LOVE. There appears to be no controversy over acknowledging former Presidents Abraham Lincoln and George Washington – although one day is set aside to honor them both. Perhaps there would be far to many sales advertisements if the celebrations remained separate. […]

Deliberate Indifference!

As I write this blog it is not clear if it will be the Baltimore Ravens or the San Francisco 49ers that win. We will all know for sure by this evening when the Super Bowl XLVII goes in to the history books. Then all of the preparation, all of the planning all of the […]

MAKING ADJUSTMENTS

As you are working on those goals you established a few weeks ago how are you doing? Approaching week three of my plan to walk thirty minutes per day, for at least five days a week, I must admit, I am off track! I started pretty strong the first week. I moved away from my […]

DO YOU SEE THE FOREST AND THE TREES?

As you examine yourself, Take Inventory and Take Action, moving closer to the best you, living your best life, what about your environment? I am not speaking of Global Warming here; my reference is to your own personal habitat. Your cubicle at work, your home office, your hobby room, your kitchen, your desk, prayer closet, […]

TRANSFORMATION

When I was in high school I saw myself as creative. I was able to select the fabric, patterns and styles to make my own clothing. I enjoyed assembling the colors, textures and unique styles I was able to create. As a senior I crafted a fuchsia, floor length, crepe, empire, waist gown. It featured […]
