Mastering YOU Monday....free yourself

Hi everyone!! I'm so glad to be back! Hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving with your families...I sure did! Of course I was so busy entertaining and enjoying my family...I did absolutely NO WORK as far as my blog was concerned(no answering comments, no visiting other blogs, NOTHING), so I'm back to square one...ughh! But you know what, it's all good...I'll eventually get around to it, I promise! So, when I tell y'all that I love and appreciate you, do know that I really mean it. :-) Thanks for the encouragement...you guys ROCK!

God has a purpose and plan for each and every one of us. Each purpose and plan is awesome in and of itself, however, if I’m trying to walk in your purpose and you’re trying to walk in mine, then neither one

Free yourself!

Well, I did it! I did something yesterday that freed me. What is it? I called my dad and wished him a “Happy Anniversary”. This may seem ordinary to you, but to me, it was a very BIG deal. You see, my parents were married for almost 45 years before my mom passed away suddenly on August 2, 2007. My dad remarried exactly 4 months to the date - December 2, 2007 - at the very same altar where my mom’s casket had once sat…IKR! :-) This was a lot for my sisters and I to digest, as all of our lives all we had known was mom and dad…together. We were told by others that we all wore the same clothes to my dad’s wedding that day, we had worn to my mother’s funeral…we hadn’t planned this, I promise…SERIOUSLY, LOL! :-) I guess we did it subconsciously.  Anyway, it took me five years to come to the realization that,
