A new approach. I hope you like it.

Sometimes, new is good. I hope you’ll overlook the fact that I am reposting. I wanted to see what this looked like. Maybe I’ll post something like this every end-of-month, so in case you didn’t read a post, they are all in one place.

So, what do you think?

Besides, trying something new is good, right? And considering it’s the end of the month, it works out well.

Plus, I like being able to see my posts this way as well. It’s been two months of reflection and sorting things out. Mental health, identifying the truly important, and relationships. Some pretty heady subjects. But what else is there to do in these two dark, cold months?

Now, I contend with this Afib diagnosis. I’m having a hard time adjusting to the medications. But I try to see things in perspective. It’s not terminal. It’s treatable. Perspective certainly helps. Besides, I’m an overcomer in Christ.

If faith doesn’t work during times of illness, when will it?

I hope you have a great weekend and blessings to each of you.

  • depression’s footprints, whose are they?

    Today I want to encourage you if you are struggling with depression. Depression is no respecter of age, gender, race, education, income, or beliefs. There is much confusion surrounding the subject of depression, medication being one of them. While medication can clear our “foggy” minds and is necessary sometimes for some, it is seldom the total Read more

  • If you’re feeling anxious today

    Anxiety is not a sin. Anxiety is not a character flaw. Anxiety is not a death sentence. What anxiety is, is the way some people’s brains respond to negative words, people, circumstances.
