Challenges

 
Have you had one of those days where the challenges felt nearly unbearable?
One minute you are gliding right along, the next you realize your well-laid out plans are going to crash, and fast. 
What do you do?
And, why do things seem so much more challenging with Christmas 4 days away?
What does this tell us?
Pay attention to [...]

Abundant Life

No matter who you are…a busy individual  running a business…a student cramming for exams…a parent caring for youngsters…no matter your degree of busyness, I hope you remember to stop and enjoy the simple things in life. 
The simple things are the abundance’s that have been given to us. 
My kitchen is full of windows, one nearly spans the back wall.   [...]

Drought Prevention, Not Just For Trees

Have you ever been busy enough to barely notice the rain? Have you ever laughed enough to not notice the darkness during a short winter-type of day?
Rain, it is something nature seems to require more of during the hot summer months, verses late fall when the deluge appears to check in for the long haul.  The fact is, [...]

I Will Not Fear The Darkness

I have been concentrating on self-improvement recently.  The result is not pointed directly at me.  It is pointed at family, friends, my home, and life in general.
There is a deep-seated need within me, a need to share my happiness with others.
I do not see the world as an easy place to live.  I face my [...]

Honing In On Personal Goals

I met each and every business goal this year.  I did what I said I was going to do, and more.  I worked hard 
But, what got put on the back burner? Personal goals.
I will not bother with listing all of those goals here, not today, but I will mention the one personal goal I am [...]

Refusing To Dwell On The Negative

I looked at the photo of Bosco and noticed his war scrapes.  He has been through it all with larger bucks, and stood tall.  Despite the fight to survive with the giants, he continues to seek out love and attention, and he offers it readily.  He is one healthy guy both in body and spirit.
He does [...]

Have You Ever Lost Your Go-Juice?

Have you ever lost your go-juice?
The scenario:  you are going full speed ahead, grinding through the long to-do list for the day.  All at once you slide into the break down lane.  You find yourself saying, “I cannot do any more.  I am here for repairs!” The go-juice has leaked from your engine.
Last week I wrote two posts, [...]

Conviction

Conviction…Mary’s definition. You are at peace, knowing that everything is right in the world (despite the ups and downs). You speak with passion. You are filled with thankfulness. You want to climb mountains. Yet, you absorb the peace, because peace is good for your soul.  You are glued to your virtues.  They have proven themselves [...]

Bringing The Balance Back Into A Busy Life

As you sift through the daily list of things to do, do you find yourself wanting to set the work aside? Do you vision yourself pushing away from the computer? Could you possibly be so bold to consider turning off the cell phone?
We are definitely a world full of list makers.  Lists that guide us through each and every day.
As elaborate [...]

When 24 Hours Is Not Enough

Do you ever feel as if there is not enough time in a day to get everything done that you want to do?
I’ll reword the question just slightly. 
Are there times when you feel that you cannot accomplish what you need to do?
I am there at times.  As hard as I try, I am there more frequently than I would [...]
