April 30, 2025 - Peace & Finding A Balance

I've talked before about how things which are in the news may leave us afraid and/or angry. This is completely understandable and how you feel absolutely matters. When I feel afraid and angry, I don't feel like I have the "power" in my life, which makes me feel worse, so today I want to talk again about doing things to help us feel peace and strength and like we are able to make solid decisions which will put us in the best place to move forward.

April 29, 2025 - Love Yourself

I often talk about loving yourself because you absolutely deserve to be loved, but I know it is all too easy to forget this - or even not believe it, so I want to take this day to encourage you to remember to love yourself and to hold tightly to those who love you. Life is difficult at times, and may feel this way more often right now, but when you hold on to the truth of how you are loved and deserve to be loved, take the time to love yourself, and hold on tightly to those who love you, you will find you are stronger than you may think you are and you are able to move forward with a life of joy and peace.

April 18, 2025 - Some Dos & Don'ts

April 25, 2025 - Priorities

Today I want to talk about the things which need to be priorities for us so we are able to live a healthy and joy-filled life - and yes, it is possible for us to live our lives in healthy and joy-filled ways. I know there are many things happening right now which are scary, and we do need to know what is happening, but we also need to prioritize those things which make us healthy and bring us joy. Consider the following priorities -

April 24, 2025 - More Support is Available

As I take time to talk with you I have been hesitant to talk much about Jesus and His love for you. The reason for this is because I know far too often people who claim to love and follow Him, do not do what He did or talk like He did - Jesus made it clear by what He said and what He did how very much He truly loves everyone and wants those who follow Him to do the same. Today I want to talk about this because it matters. 

April 23, 2025 - Encouraging Words

While we may not receive encouraging words very often, and sadly, some of you may receive unencouraging words, we all benefit from being on the "receiving end" of encouraging words, so today I want to share encouraging words with you. Please know I absolutely believe and mean every word I'm about to say - I hope you will be encouraged!

April 22, 2025 - I'll Say it Again, Hold Tight to Family & Friends Who Love You & Have Your Back

I know I often say it is important to hold on tightly to your family and friends who love you and who have your back, but today I am saying it again. Hold tightly to your family and friends who love you and have your back. With all the things happening in our country, you may feel stressed, frightened, worried, and angry on a daily basis - or even many times a day, but it is essential for you to surround yourself with those who love you so you are able to take care of your own mental health and do the things which bring you peace. If you have parents, grandparents, extended family, and friends who love and care for you, then hold tightly to them and love and care for them, too.
