  Do you love yourself?  Finding the place where you can truly love yourself is not always easy.  There are many obstacles that interfere with loving yourself.  Often those obstacles started presenting themselves due to what others have said about you and to you.  It's so easy to remember those negative things and allow them to over take us, then we start seeing ourselves as negative and unwanted and unlovable.  But those things are wrong.  They were said by someone out of anger or jealousy or that persons lack of knowing us, or any other number of reasons.   I struggled with self love for a long time.  So much centered around how inadequate I felt and my lack of being what everyone else wanted me to be.  Through self growth that started with learning how to forgive myself I have learned to love myself.  Oh I make lots of mistakes, but even so I love the woman I am and the life I have been blessed with.  Consider for a mom...

 I'd like to take a moment and sincerely wish you a very happy Valentine's Day!   Whatever today holds I hope that you will find joy in your circumstances.  If you are taken then I hope that your special someone does something extra to make you feel special.  If you are single then do something extra special just for yourself. Having been single for so long I have had many valentine's days where I was miserable being surrounded by so much love from everyone, but those days are past.  I now focus on the joys I have on this day.  I dress up and I embrace the wonder of all the love around me.  I smile because I know how awesome I am, how could I not when I realize that God decided the world needed me.  Coming to that realization wasn't easy, it took years and many lessons that often left me feeling knocked down and dazed.  Today I celebrate that I am in love with God! 💖   So this morning as I was getting ready for work I was than...

This morning I woke with a great deal of self doubt weighing on me.  Usually I post uplifting positive posts to offer help, support, and encouragement, well I'll get there so just stay tuned.  This week has been full of challenges and pitfalls, but lets consider the positives first.  My car has been repaired and I'm driving her again after two weeks with a borrowed vehicle.  My low back is better after I threw it out last week.  The weather this week has been spring like after such a cold winter snow storm last week.  Most importantly, I connected with the Clinton's Women's Outreach Ministry this week, and that is a wonderfully powerful gift and blessing!  These alone should have sustained me, but instead I wavered and started doubting.  My pitfalls where overwhelming and came to a point I felt enough is enough this morning.   First, my original website has done away with the option to leave comments on blogs.  It's not ...

Often we say love simply to indicate strong feelings for someone or something, but love, pure and complete goes much deeper. To truly love another means we are putting that person before ourselves. The greatest love imaginable is the love given to us by God.  God's love is pure and honest, it was given to us freely and unconditionally because there is no way we could ever earn His love. God gave us His Son to die for our sins so that we could be forever with Him in glory. He sees us and has forgiven us, not for anything we have done or could do, but because He chose us before we were ever formed and in that choosing sent His Son to pay for all our sins, now that's love.  Have you ever felt yourself to be unwanted and unloved?  When those moments strike take a deep breath and say, "Thank you Heavenly Father for choosing me and loving me".  Then remember, those of this world will often making you feel unwanted and unloved, but God absolutely wants and loves you! While ...

Hello and welcome to the first day of February.  Many people consider February to be the month of love.  As a result of that, this month I am going to share a few blogs that will center around love, stay tuned for those in the weeks ahead. January was a very busy month for me and for my business.  I took the month to learn and grow so that I can start making valuable changes towards helping more people.  I am working on putting together a support group that will benefit those who are struggling after divorce or abuse, it's vitally important they know, without a doubt, they are not alone.  I am also partnering with a local Women's Ministry to reach more women who are in need of support and direction.  I am working diligently to put together two unique program packages, one centered around self-love and another that focuses on discovering your own vision for your future, then putting goals into place to help you achieve that future.  If you're interested...
