One of the most challenging lessons I believe we keep repeating because we are not getting it is “Expectation”. Expectations are attachments to outcomes from people and things. Every day I tell myself “Don’t expect” because I know if I expect then I have an attachment to how I want the outcome. And if theContinue reading “Expectation is the Root”

The Reviews Are In
In February of 2022 when I applied for a scholarship at Enneagram Georgia I was so excited about the possibility of getting a scholarship. When I tell you I prayed, I prayed every day and I watched my email every day, all day to see if I was a recipient. When I finally got theContinue reading “The Reviews Are In”
My Religious Trauma
The following was written by Dr. Glennon Patrick Doyle. I have followed and “Liked” 99.9% of his posts but this one is the most relatable. I spent the first 12 years of my life in an institution that met 3 times a week. They had a church sign which made me believe they were safe.Continue reading “My Religious Trauma”
A Change Won’t Do You Good
Sheryl Crow did a song in the mid-90s called “A Change Would Do You Good.” I’m partial to the song even with the abstract lyrics, I’ve applied the course to my life many times. Change is often good. Change is imperative if we want to grow in our environments, like from Blackberry phones to smartphones.Continue reading “A Change Won’t Do You Good”
Power of Prayer
I follow Stella Parton on Twitter, for those of you unfamiliar with the name, it’s Dolly’s sister. She recently tweeted asking her followers “Have you ever wondered if people who say they will be praying for you really are praying for you?” I replied to her “Nope!” and with the scripture from Matthew 18:10. I’mContinue reading “Power of Prayer”
It is Well with My Soul
As I experience the world suffering with pain from sadness, anger, fear, and grief, which seems to be on another level, I can’t help but think of my demise. Not because I live in fear but because we have no promise of tomorrow or what the day will bring. Come now, you who say, “TodayContinue reading “It is Well with My Soul”
It’s Time
Happy New Year to you. I pray you have left the past in the past. We don’t need to take anger, resentment, grief, sadness, jealousy, and toxic folks into the new year. I pray that our vision boards are filled with words like compassion, love, forgiveness, gratitude, and joy, and that our goals are toContinue reading “It’s Time”
The Christmas Card
I opened a Christmas card today from one of my favorite social media influencers. I dedicate this to her today. Dearest Stephanie, I must admit I just now opened your beautiful Christmas card. When I saw your name & return address my eyes became tear-filled. It was tears of gratefulness for you. For you honoringContinue reading “The Christmas Card”
Not Tree Gifts but Need Gifts
It’s not the most wonderful time of the year for everyone. For many if not the majority it’s a time of pain due to grief. Not just grief from empty chairs at the table but grief from not receiving the gifts we need. Instead of the gifts under the tree let’s give the gifts weContinue reading “Not Tree Gifts but Need Gifts”
Pain, Suffering & Death
Another shocking, heartbreaking, tragedy happened today when we learned of another nationally known talent that left us way too soon due to indescribable pain. Suffering that no amount of fame or fortune can subside the pain. No amount of love from family or friends can stop the suffering. In 2011 my only nephew took hisContinue reading “Pain, Suffering & Death”
