If only…

How would you finish that sentence? What exactly is it that you would do, if you could, whether it be the past, present, or future?! For me, I would go back and change my attitude! Are there things in life I would do differently? Of course! But at the same time, everything I have beenContinue reading “If only…”

Move out and move on

Soooo…..this isn’t exactly about literally moving out! But if you’ll hang with me, I promise to do my best to encourage you today! I’m slowly learning that in everything I do, I need to adjust my thinking and my attitude. I tend to be a glass half empty type of person and it just hasn’tContinue reading “Move out and move on”

Embrace the valley

Ouch! Embrace my troubles? Yes! Embrace ALL the hurt? yes! Embrace every unknown when there doesn’t seem to be way out? YES! And here is why! You’re not going to escape being in the valley! It doesn’t work like that! You are going to face moments of doubt, fear, anger, hurt and all the otherContinue reading “Embrace the valley”

Stressed or blessed

No matter how hard I try to keep a good attitude, something always seemsContinue reading “Stressed or blessed”

Worrier or warr;or

How easy is it to sit and contemplate what could or might go wrong? And not only that, but how many sit and decide how you will react to each scenario specifically? Looking back, I could’ve been a certified worrier, because that was all I did! Anything that could cause me to fret, I openedContinue reading “Worrier or warr;or”

Hurt or Heal

What are you holding onto that you need to let go of so you can heal? I am 41 years old and I am very good at recalling all the past hurts from my childhood, teens, and even the things my husband did or didn’t do in our marriage (then or now)! And all thatContinue reading “Hurt or Heal”

Forgive…. often and always

Forgiveness is a choice! And at my age it is really hard to break bad habits, such as harboring harsh feelings toward those that have wronged me! But holding onto hurts, only affects me! Whether the person has said “I’m sorry” or they continue to cause your temperature to rise when they walk in theContinue reading “Forgive…. often and always”

Walk in grace

Oh man! If I only could have learned this at a younger age! I haven’t always gotten this one right, and I certainly have not mastered how to do this in every situation. However, I hope that my words can inspire you to give it your best in whatever situation is in front of youContinue reading “Walk in grace”

Love big, with no regrets

It’s pretty safe to say that we’ve all been hurt by someone! Whether it was a family member or your BFF, being offended/hurt is inevitable because we are human! But I want to encourage you, to love anyways! There’s an amazing song by Martina Mcbride that says, “You can love someone with all your heartContinue reading “Love big, with no regrets”

Take 5 for you

Often times as a mom I forget to make time for myself because I am so engulfed in everything that needs to be done! After all, I’m a wife, a mom, and a teacher and I am way too good at putting myself on the back burner! I mean, there’s dinner that needs to beContinue reading “Take 5 for you”
