What Are Your Summer Goals?

With my personal coach’s program we do cycles of 90-day goals…but more important than the goal are the thoughts I will need to be thinking to generate the feelings that will drive my action toward the goal I have.

When Motherhood Doesn’t Look Like You Thought It Would

Has your husband ever come home to walk past your kids, while they are on the couch in front of the TV, to find you in your bed crying just so you could have a break and cry in private? Me, too! I get it. You're overwhelmed, and overstimulated, and tired, and one of your [...]

Bring the JOY back to your mothering!

Did you know that your child’s, teen's, or adult child’s behavior is a result of a feeling they don’t know how to deal with? Just like our actions come from a feeling we are having and a negative thought that is causing that feeling. We may not be able to be in their head to [...]

It ran in your family until it ran into YOU!

It ran in your family until it ran into YOU!  Remember, child of God, that you have been adopted into a NEW FAMILY and you can enjoy all the benefits and privileges that come with your new lineage!  There’s no such thing as a generational curse on YOU! For Christ has REDEEMED you from the [...]
