We are all given an hourglass at conception. It's hard to think about it that way, but I have children I've never met because their sand slipped through the glass faster than I had hoped it would. I wanted them to have huge glasses with plenty of sand, but it was not meant to be. … Continue reading Hourglass

Dissatisfaction. Disappointment. Discontentment. Stop for a minute. When do you notice these things? I can guarantee you feel these negative emotions when you compare yourself to what someone else does. You are so focused on them, you can't concentrate on YOU.

Don't let others tell you how to think or feel. You know what is right for you. You cannot live your life worrying about how everyone else feels or what this one or that one thinks you should do or be. You are held accountable for you, no one else can live your life. No … Continue reading Others

I mean really examine your self and your life and think of your blessings. You might have to look hard at first. That's okay. We have evolved into beings who always look for the negative...it's easier to concentrate on what goes wrong instead of seeing everything that is going right.  This was for our survival; … Continue reading For what are you thankful?

I do not like change. I am a routine person. I do the same things every day; any change and my whole day feels the ripple.  It sounds selfish, but I need my alone time. I get to work early so I can go to the gym alone. No, I'm not obsessed with weight; I'm … Continue reading Change

Let your light shine... We can do nothing on our own; anything good from us comes from GOD. When we are blessed to live according to HIS command, will and purpose for our lives, we are allowing HIS light to shine through us and be an example unto others.
