Mastering YOU Monday...surgery and recovery

       They say 46 is the new 26…so they say! But I’m smart enough to know that I’d better not treat my 46 year old body like anything other than what it is. Yes, I speak the Word over my body, but even God expects us to put works with our faith! Besides, if I’ve learned anything from the untimely deaths of my mother and mother-in-law, its that the enemy desires for us to be lacking in our lives where our health is concerned. I mentioned in my last post that I would tell you about my ever-so-lovely surgery. But don’t worry, I’ll spare you the gory details.

Here I am almost 7 weeks post-op from having major

Mastering YOU Monday...mind over matter

Okay, so my post today was inspired by a conversation I had with my daughter the other day...out of all things...childbirth, IKR! Quite ironic, considering she's not planning on giving us grand kids anytime soon. But I'll save that for another post.


Not quite sure how the conversation started, but I'm glad it did, because I wanted to throw my two cents into the bucket

A Legacy of Grace...

This week my lovely mother would have celebrated her 70^th birthday. I think it’s ironic that over the past few weeks I have come across so many people who have told me how special my mother was to their lives. Wow, considering it's been 5 years since she's gone on to be with the Lord! They don’t know how much that meant to me. I always knew my mother was special! She was what you would call a quiet spirit. For as long as I’d known her, I never saw

Stop sittin' and get to doin'!

I'll admit...this “doing you well” kick I’ve been on has made me go back and review some old post I wrote when I first started blogging. As I observe women I come across every day, these old post are more relevant now than ever before. If you’re in that place in your life where God is tugging you to move forward, but your fear of failing or doubt and unbelief that God will actually use you has stopped you from pursuing your dreams; I encourage you to read on.

We have spent most of our lives not being able to venture out of our boxes; you know, the pretty LITTLE gift boxes we put ourselves into

The essence of friendship...

My blog post is a little different this week. In memory of my husband’s best friend and our children’s god-father (who passed away last week), I wrote this letter to him as a tribute to his friendship and wanted to share it. I’m sure if any of you have ever lost someone you loved, you can relate. Love you all and have a blessed week!

Our Daughter's Day

WOW! You can say I’m coming down from what some may call a “wedding high”! So amazed at the goodness of the Lord! He literally stopped the rain so that our daughter could have the outside wedding she dreamed of; even though the weatherman predicted there would be a 50% chance of rain (He’s faithful like that, you know)! ;-)  He taught me so much about His love for us; in how He maneuvered the clouds so that we could have the perfect overcast from the sun for the 7:00pm ceremony on the terrace of the EdVenture Children's Museum, to how He stopped

Hey you...yeah YOU!!

Ladies, we have spent most of our lives not being able to venture out of our boxes; you know, the pretty LITTLE gift boxes we put ourselves into - the ones we think will be just enough to allow us to sit prettily on the shelf, not to be used, but to be admired! Afraid of who God has made us and what He has placed within us, because we’ve been told what we can and cannot do or say, but never given instructions on how to walk out our Kingdom assignment - how to be supportive of each other and how to be a “good’ team player. Far too long we have lived our lives well below
