What are you doing with the scars?
We’ve all gone through ick in our lives.
We’ve had things happen to us and we’ve also done things that cause us to feel separated from God’s love.
The question is . . . what to do with it?
Do we sit in our pain and allow it to define us?
Or do ...
Decluttering Our Soul
Did you know that socks can spark joy?
Marie Kondo wrote a book in 2014 called, The Life-changing Magic of Tidying Up and it has sold over 9 million copies. There is even now a popular Netflix show around these principles and people are finding ...
Would you hide your tattoo?
Every time a friend of mine goes home to see her parents she dresses strategically so that she hides her tattoos. It can be 90 degrees outside but she will wear something that covers the tattoos on her arm so that she doesn’t hear flack from ...

It Is All Going to Be OK!
Easy to hear, but do you believe it?

Who Gets the Last Laugh?

Have you ever been in a situation where it is HIGHLY inappropriate to laugh, yet you find something terribly funny, you start laughing, you try to HOLD IN the laughter, and you can’t?
The more you try to hold ...
The Non-Perfect Uber Score Surprise
Did you know Uber riders get a score?

When You Start Something
Have you ever heard the adage, “When you start something you need to finish it?”
There is a joke about this. See what you think . . .
