Why is it that with everything that is meant to help you there is someone that tries to make you feel bad for your decisions? I know that I compare addiction to church a lot but this one couldn’t be more of an overt comparison if I have ever seen one. First forgive me that … More Stop Charging the Present with Past Choices
I recently had my feelings hurt at work about my health condition that I am trying hard to get under control. Of course the person that hurt my feelings doesn’t know nor would they care that the joke that they made at my expense was health related but…That’s actually not why I am writing today. … More Never Change
It always amazes me that people who really know you can see things in you that you never really saw or intentionally overlooked. I sat down with a close friend today to discuss my next steps for life from a professional perspective. Although she was acting in her professional hat it still was her personal … More See Right Through Me
I don’t usually write on Sundays but today is an exception. I attended an awesome writer’s workshop yesterday that gave me so much insight and perspective of what it really takes to produce, market, and sell a book. I was reminded of some things that I have read or researched but it also taught me … More Keep Dreaming – My Tribute
I have been avoiding writing this post for a while. I guess I have avoided it because I am embarrassed to admit that not only am I flawed but I am reaping the penalty of being full of pride. Walk with me on this journey. God has a great sense of humor. I work with … More Sowing and Reaping

Frustrated with this detour from my little shortcut I proceeded southbound on the next street that had a “Do Not Enter” sign at the end of the street. My only option was to go in the opposite … More Just a One Way the Wrong Way
I get why some people don’t want to grow up. Making decisions about things that you would rather not make is hard. If I am still a child or act like one no one will blame me for being “wishy washy” with my decisions. I had to make a tough decision today and quite frankly I … More Growing Up
As private as I am, I didn’t realize how much I would enjoy my support groups. It is absolutely wonderful having a place where I can voice my concerns about my challenges and triumphs and know that someone else understands. It is comforting to know that someone has felt or is feeling the same way … More Support Groups
Have you ever felt so close to a person that you have only shared a few conversations? I am a part of a life group at my church and one of the life group participants almost feels like a long lost relative. Although, she doesn’t say much, when she does speak it’s with such passion … More New Sister
