You Think You Know

I frequently hear people say “I would’ve” in reference to comparing themselves to an individual. The mindset of saying you would’ve not done it that way or said it that way or thought that way has zero to do with you. Just because you haven’t experienced it or just because you have experienced it andContinue reading “You Think You Know”

I Am Weary

The definition of weary is: exhausted in strength, endurance, vigor, or freshness. Depending on what website you believe, the word “weary” is mentioned up to 96 times in the Bible. The writers identified a lot with it and so does this writer. Feeling weary is more than being physically or mentally tired. It’s a callContinue reading “I Am Weary”

Comfort Breeds Complacency

Being comfortable often breeds complacency and it will mess your life up in every corner. From the bedroom to the job, if you are complacent you will eventually lose. T.D. Jakes spoke on complacency last Sunday and he made so many valid points that it’s too many for me to share but I want toContinue reading “Comfort Breeds Complacency”

Jonah

When I first viewed this cartoon image, I chuckled but then I said “truth”. There is much truth in this if you see it as an analogy for life. Have you ever felt swallowed up and can’t get reception for help? I’ve been swallowed up in fear, anxiety, worry, and depression to the point thatContinue reading “Jonah”

Eckhart Tolle at Fox Theatre

When something is meant to be, you cannot stop it. It’s going to show up when you are not attached and as one might say, “when you are not looking for it or least expect it.” And that is how it works. Last week I ran across that Eckhart Tolle was coming to the FoxContinue reading “Eckhart Tolle at Fox Theatre”

The Other Incest – Emotional

Covert incest, or emotional incest, occurs when a parent or caregiver relies on a child for the support that an adult partner would usually provide. They may also treat the child like a romantic partner. Covert incest is different from physical incest because it does not involve sexual abuse. Do you know someone that tellsContinue reading “The Other Incest – Emotional”

Wednesday Wisdom

I’ve had some quality conversations this week. Worthy enough to be on a podcast. I want to drop some nuggets that have been said in those conversations. What people think of you is none of your business. People will transfer their stuff to you. If they feel jaded in their relationships they will try toContinue reading “Wednesday Wisdom”

Never The Same

Today marks the first anniversary of my son’s father’s death. It also marks one year that life changed and will never be the same. Have you ever experienced “never the same”? I remember it so vividly. A surreal moment that changed everything moving forward. A time that life stands still. Seconds seem like minutes, minutesContinue reading “Never The Same”

Attachment Feeds Frustration

Expectation feed frustration. It is unhealthy attachment to people, things and outcomes we wish we could control; but don’t. – Steve Maraboli I had a conversation the other day with someone in the market for a house. As we discussed the crazy market of homes selling for the above asking price, prices above appraisals thatContinue reading “Attachment Feeds Frustration”

The 1st Commandment

Mother is a verb. It’s something you do. Not just who you are. Shortly after my birth, my dad became disabled and was not able to work. This not only put a strain on the marriage and finances but it put a strain on my relationship with my mother. She became the breadwinner which madeContinue reading “The 1st Commandment”
