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.
The last few days have been a struggle – as much in my heart and mind as it has been in my body. I was knocked down pretty hard by a cold (that managed to hit me when my defenses were already weak). Typically I will sniffle and cough for a day or two but…
There is very little in Proverbs 31 about how to deal with kids that are running around arguing, a husband that is not listening to the chaos and the cold that is holding on to you for dear life. I know, I’ve been looking. The few days have been extremely tough on me. Thinking positive…
Tuesday is my Positive Moms get together. We aren’t all positive moms, but we are all working together to get there. Today was amazing. I felt refreshed and ready to take on the world when I got home. I even took time to sit with some of the other mothers for lunch – reaching out…
Yahoo recently ran an article showing us how we can clean our house in just 19 minutes. I love the concept – a few minutes each day in each room will lead to a tidy home all the time. There is just a small flaw in their ideas, at least for my home. This house…
I committed a couple of weeks back to get rid of my excess weight and to be health and fit once again. Today my husband took that commitment to a whole new level – one that involves public display, YIKES! The conversation started out safe enough. He was telling me all about how he was…

Writing at home (or doing any work) can be frustrating on some days and just simply impossible on others. It doesn’t help my personal situation that my office is located smack in the middle of the house – in the kitchen no less. There are just days when it doesn’t seem like I can put…
This morning I was reading an old entry in my diary. “The differences require my dependence on God.” It turns out that even when I face a similar situation as before, I have to come at it from a different angle. If I could work it out the same each time then I could rely…
Several years ago I discovered a great little program that said there was no need to diet. Dieting was just a way of controlling food instead of controlling yourself. I jumped on board and lost 30 pounds in just twelve weeks. The best part of it all was that I stopped drinking diet drinks, I…
