Faith is the substance of hope and foundation from which it grows. Faith activates purposeful actions that reveal the heartseed belief. Faith makes way for purpose living.
You can once you believe you can. It’s amazing how much we accomplish once we have it in our mind we can do it. Once the mind gets in line nothing seems impossible. My professional writing career was launched back in 2004. At the same time, I homeschooled two elementary-age boys, kept a 1000 sq…
Jesus said, “Follow Me.” It’s not a complicated directive overflowing with micro implications. It was then and is today a simple truth. Follow Me. I took my walk, as I’ve been known to do, to enjoy the fresh air (and get away from the people inside). I like these times because I am free to…
There is power in reflections. Reflections provide a representation of the image. They show me the me that is seen, not the me that is imagined or perceived. But what happens when the reflections become distorted? Instead of an actual reflection, they become distorted like the crazy funhouse mirror. When I don’t see with the…
We need an infusion of faith to walk in this world today. Some days, it feels like we need a tank – armed and supplied so that we don’t have to get out in the world. Let’s admit it, it’s more than a little bit crazy out there. But the truth is, it’s always been…

Diligence and persistence will get you through all that life might throw at you because life will throw things at you – twists, turns, ups, downs, and sometimes brick walls . . . that move to make sure they get you. Reflections for April 4th, 2022 Diligence and persistence push through the most challenging barriers…
Uniqueness fascinates me. My uncle – probably one of the most unique persons I’ve ever met (to put it kindly) – always encouraged me to march to the beat of my own drummer (and to fire the drummer if he tried to change my beat). I knew I was different and that I came from…
I broke down once today. Granted, it’s only 6 am. But at least the breakdowns are quick and over before anyone notices. It might seem silly. After all, I simply read the box to figure out if I needed to unpack it immediately or save it for later. It had pansy plates and glass vases…
You have to find ways to focus on yourself when the world swirls in chaos – or maybe just in those moments when the kids or spouse are gnawing at your nerves. When you find your way to focus on yourself and honed in on the next step of your journey then the actions, attitudes,…
