Operating from the RENEWED MIND is the highest form of living!
We have two parts of our brain. A primal part that is programmed for three main things: to avoid pain, to seek pleasure, and to conserve energy. Once we are followers of Christ, our spirit man is completely made new. We are a new creature. But we must now do the daily work of renewing [...]
Why “Law of Attraction” is not for Christians
"Luck”, "lucky girl", “law of attraction”, and “manifesting” are not for the child of God!

Motherhood is a Lifelong Journey
Motherhood is a lifelong journey...there will be ups and downs and the downs don't mean you are failing, they mean you are human. It's the challenging seasons that show us how resilient we are and how faithful God is. My coach always says, "This is the part where you GET to be the Mom." Motherhood [...]
Need a Dose of Dopamine?
How cool is that?! It’s a win-win situation 🙂 Even though I’m an introvert, I always try to compliment the checker at the register or waitress at a restaurant because I figure it might be the only nice thing they hear all day. Obviously, our brain knows when it’s not genuine, so be sincere, but [...]
