Life Should Be Something We CREATE!

Life shouldn’t be just something that happens TO you, but rather something you create with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives IN you! We all have the creative power we need on the inside of us because we ourselves were created in the image of God. We have His creative nature in our [...]

Don’t You Just LOVE a New Beginning?

Don't you just LOVE a new beginning? A fresh start? A new day, week, month, or year? We could so easily slide into the despair of "where did the summer go?" and "it's already August?!" Or we can choose to see all the summer we have left and be even more determined to soak it [...]

Middle-age Puberty? Is it a thing?

So, I turned 50 in July and I think turning 50 is my new fave! I know it may sound strange, but I've always loved getting older. It might have to do with being one of the younger ones in my large family and always wanting to be like the "big kids." Of course, I [...]

Why We Need to Stop Parenting Our Adult Children

As humans, we are a being that requires nurturing and care throughout our lives.

How Coaching Changed My Life!

When my husband confessed he had been thinking of divorce, the first thing that flashed before me was a memory of being a little girl, standing in my parent’s bedroom, while my Dad told me he was moving out and that he didn’t love my mom anymore. I honestly hadn’t thought of that day in [...]

You Don’t Have to Feel the Same to Be in Unity

They say your sibling relationship is likely the longest one you will have on earth. Longer than your parents, spouse, or your own children, you will have walked the earth the longest with your siblings. It's important to remember that while you've known each other the longest and went through a large chunk of your [...]

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. My current 90-day goal is To Create More Connection With My Husband! So, what that looks [...]

What are you making your kids behavior mean about YOU?

We, Mamas, tend to think that our job is to produce perfect Christian children and we judge ourselves based on how “Christian” our kids turned out. But we do not get to control our kids’ outcomes, whether they are 8 or 28. The [...]

What if you could redefine PERFECT?

It's important to remind ourselves that God is the only truly perfect One. God doesn't expect perfection from us. Jesus did it so perfectly that we don't have to! We mamas tend to think we must be perfect at mothering otherwise we are failing. That we must never get frustrated with our littles and we [...]
