Wherever you go. However you get there. There you will be. You bring all of you wherever you go. We cannot “escape” ourselves. We take all our insecurities, fears, hopes, dreams, everything, all of us, with us wherever we go. Which sounds so straight forward but I think sometimes people think they can leave part …

Traveling Observations.
Traveling is exciting and adventurous. It can also be stressful and tense. Traveling takes time and gets us off/out of our schedules, long hours on planes, and in vehicles in transit, delays, out of your normal routines, lack of sleep, irregular food intake, unfamiliar places, confusion and uncertainty can all contribute to high emotions.

A New Way.
I used to be stuck in a cycle of seeing everything that was wrong, then I decided to open my eyes to everything that was right. I used to try to do all the things I thought were “right” that would create the results I wanted, but I constantly felt like I messed up, fell …
Thankfully God Has Shown Me…
A big part of my transformation came as I learned to, trained myself to believe in God’s love for me. Not just believe that God is love but that God loves me, as I am, even if I never improve. Also, learning to, training myself to receive the love God has for me. Believing in …
Love Your Neighbor As Yourself
Jesus said, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” (Matthew 22:39) Do you love yourself? If you do not love yourself then you are not going to be able to love your neighbor very well. I admit that I did not like or love myself for the longest time. I did not feel worthy of love because …

What fragrance does your life exude? Do you embody faith? Do you embody trust in God in all things? Does your faith draw people closer to God or repel them from God? Do you “smell” of peace and joy and hope and love? Or do you “smell” of bitterness, resentment, judgment, and discontent? God always …
Repeat. On LOVE.
We must know love, accept love, and receive love for our-self. We must know God's love for us, deep inside, to be able to offer love well to others. We cannot give something to others that we don't have ourselves. We MUST spend time with God to KNOW His LOVE. If we want to be changed, transformed, …
Happy Valentine’s Day.
If you profess love to someone, then you should practice showing them love with your words and actions. This sounds so nice. And I wish that it were always true, that when someone professed love then loving actions followed but sadly, we know that is not the case. I have good news. We can feel …
What transformation looked like for me.
Most of my life I felt unlovable and unworthy of love. A few years ago, I read all Brené Brown’s books. I learned through her work that the difference between the people who lived wholeheartedly and those who didn’t was that they believed they were worthy of love and belonging. I decided I wanted to …
