The scars left behind from wounds and surgeries can sometimes be a little embarrassing and too ugly to let anyone see.  The healing of the scars isn’t always flattering.  I have scars on my right shoulder from an injury I sustained in an auto accident.  I had my right shoulder rotator cuff repaired and because…

Happy Easter everyone!  I pray that as you celebrated the rising of our savior you had a blessed day with your loved ones. Yesterday my 14 year old shared with me something he had thought of.  He is funny, because he prepared me, making it so dramatic, saying what he was about to tell me…

Ever feel like just throwing in the towel and giving up?  You try and try to make things right but get to a point where you just don’t feel you have anything left to give or to do.  Life is filled with struggles, hardships and disappointments.  We can choose to either allow these moments to…

  Is there something you have dreamt of doing but felt it was too late to start.  Maybe you have always wanted to get back into school, study something new, head off on a new career path.  At 41, I made a change in my life and a year later that change resulted in me…

Your circumstances do not define who you are.  You decide who you want to be. The choice is yours.  I’ve always been a firm believer that the choices we make, make the person we are.  Growing up I went through some difficult times, especially as a child.  As I grew older I didn’t allow myself…
