The Staircase

In April of 2019, I received a call from a doctor in Nashville, TN to tell me my mother was being put on hospice. That was on a Friday evening before my son graduated from college. The following Wednesday, May 1, my job let me go due of my position was being eliminated. With tear-filledContinue reading “The Staircase”

Joy Comes In The Morning

I’ve heard that verse my entire life. I never really thought about it until recently and I want to share with you how I interpret it for me and maybe for the Psalmist David. For me, it speaks that when we are in a bad place rather than dealing with grief from a loss orContinue reading “Joy Comes In The Morning”

Practice What You Believe

Day 15 of my media detox and I’m 1/2 finished with 2 of my books, “Experiencing God” and “The Awakened Brain”. Both talk about spirituality, one from a religious view and the other from a scientific view. A lot of the views are parallel especially one and that is faith. Since I’ve been reading andContinue reading “Practice What You Believe”

You Should Probably Move

I read this quote and literally laughed out loud from resonating with it. Everything has pressure limits and so does everyone. Not only do we allow pressure from others but we put unnecessary pressure on ourselves. Yesterday I blogged about what I’ve already learned and been reminded of this year and one quote said, StopContinue reading “You Should Probably Move”

Day 13 in 2022

We are only 13 days into 2022 and I’ve learned so much already. Some things I knew but have been reminded of this year. I’ve learned that people don’t apologize if they are not sorry for their actions. Saying sorry doesn’t mean anything if the action doesn’t change. People lie to themselves so therefore theyContinue reading “Day 13 in 2022”

Miscommunication

There was a big miscommunication between me and two friends the other day and as I reflected on the communication and the breakdown of what was said, I thought about the following: As I read this and analyzed the situation, I realized something. I realized that if we are not living in the present, atContinue reading “Miscommunication”

Some Call It Moments and Some Call It Synchronicity

Yesterday I blogged about a sermon I heard regarding moments and being spiritually aware so you don’t miss signs that bring once-in-a-lifetime moments. Remember my “accidentally” found self-help book is The Awakened Brain The author Lisa Miller Ph.D., talks about seeing signs due to her spiritual awareness. Do you know how you want to sayContinue reading “Some Call It Moments and Some Call It Synchronicity”

How to Receive Your Predestined Moment

I can never say it enough, listen to your intuition, trust your gut, be in tune with your spirit and look for signs. They are always there, we often miss them because we are not consciously aware or not living in the moment. I recently heard a sermon regarding moments. It was so on pointContinue reading “How to Receive Your Predestined Moment”

The Awakening is In The Suffering

Week 1 is down in the books or should I say my calendar for my media detox. I’ve learned so much that I feel as if my head is going to explode. I’ve been reading a lot. I currently have 5 books in Kindle that I’m shuffling daily. I found my self-help book accidentally byContinue reading “The Awakening is In The Suffering”

Trauma is the Gateway Drug

I recently read something that said marijuana is not a gateway drug, neither is alcohol, nicotine, or caffeine. The gateway drug is trauma. Our gateway drug is neglect, abandonment, and betrayal and mostly from our childhood. I was in a restaurant after reading that and a middle-aged man was sitting at the bar in theContinue reading “Trauma is the Gateway Drug”
