I was recently meditating and thinking about the prodigal son parable in the Bible. Like many, I’ve heard it since I was a child. But recently I read it differently and from another perspective. I’ve always thought it was just about coming back home but this is what jumped out and stood out differently. “WhenContinue reading “When I Came To My Senses”

Respect the Gift
I was sharing the other day, I believe that our gifts are to empower each other. Empower, to heal, to help, bring light into someone’s darkness. I know I would not be where I am today if people sent to me did not utilize their gifts to enlighten me. I’m so thankful that my callContinue reading “Respect the Gift”
Gotta Give Grace to Get Grace
That is a quote that will make you say amen or ouch. What is grace? Giving allowance that we want to be given. We all make mistakes, have triggers that bring up our traumas, and childhood wounds. And with all of our similarities, we all have issues, a dysfunction that causes us pain as wellContinue reading “Gotta Give Grace to Get Grace”
Testimony Service
When I was a child growing up in church three times a week, we had a part of the service that was called “testimony”. It was basically where anyone could stand up and share something great that happened to them, a blessing they received, or some wonderful news. After the person told their story, everyoneContinue reading “Testimony Service”
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”
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”
Religious People Killed Jesus
Last week I watched a documentary on HBO Max called “Way Down”. I was interested in it because it was a cult-based church located in my backyard in Nashville TN. I was unaware of the church Remnant Fellowship Church much less a religious cult in Brentwood Tennessee. My attention was first brought to them whenContinue reading “Religious People Killed Jesus”
Be Still And Know
I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas which means you were blessed. You woke up, had a roof over your head and food on your table. It doesn’t mean how our over-commercialized society presents it. More gifts and decorations don’t equate to being merrier. Having gifts within and recognizing your blessings is the greatest giftContinue reading “Be Still And Know”
The Reason For The Season
Here’s our reminder of why we have a day called Christmas. I believe many get caught up in the commercialization and try to do bigger and better rather than against our neighbors or ourselves from the previous years. We fall into the trap of marketing and corporate greed trying to buy things the majority ofContinue reading “The Reason For The Season”
Pay It Forward By Helping Others
As you may have read, I’ve ignored and dismissed my energy and intuition for years. I’ve been in therapy for over a decade and heard but did not always listen. Many times I was in denial. The one thing that has helped me most is others sharing their personal stories. I’ve listened, read, watched soContinue reading “Pay It Forward By Helping Others”
