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.

    What does real peace look like?

    Can emotions rob us of our peace. I say, no. Our emotions have nothing to do with our peace with God. Our peace with God is not based on how we feel. Read more

  • Which way do winds of happiness blow?

    Which way do winds of happiness blow?

    I always struggle when I am happy because I am acutely aware that happiness, like clouds, is always moving. While I am happy, someone else is unhappy. We are all connnected. Read more

    What empowers you? I have a really simple idea.

    DISSATISFACTION What empowers you? Have you ever thought about it? I was going through the IKEA catalog tonight having decided I needed to do some updating to my tired-looking house.  Maybe some new dining room chairs. I’m going to paint something, black but I’m not nuts about the chairs no matter what color I would Read more
