How strong is your spiritual faith core? Is it weak?  Strong?  Or somewhere in between? Sure, it's great to exercise our bodies, so we can have the strength and energy to get through our day. Were also helping to ward off disease and be the healthiest we can be for ourselves and for those that love us. Shouldn't we do that for our soul?   The answer my friends is YES. With exercise, View Post

Balance.   Does it seem like your always chasing after it?  What does it really look like anyway? The word alone though can make you feel stressed!  Making you feel like your always falling short. There are times when I have experienced the word balance, but there have been a lot of times when my life feels very "out of balance". Busyness will get you out of balance real fast!  It's View Post

Our thoughts. The way we talk to ourselves in our minds with our words.  It can be so destructive. You may not even know you're doing it.  The words run through your mind so easily that it's just the normal way of your thinking. Every time these negative identity words come into your mind and they are allowed to hang around, they drive the stake deeper into your thought pattern. Word by View Post

Have you ever asked yourself that question? Are you in a season of your life where the future looks unclear and you have no clarity on the next steps to take? I have been in that place many times, but probably more so in the last few years. Over and over in my head, I'm asking myself, "What now?" "What should I be doing next"? I've discovered there are no easy answers!  I'm a dreamer so View Post

Wow, a new year is almost here.  Why does time go by faster as we get older? It seems like I am always flipping over a month on my calendar.  I want time to slow down, don't you? Since it won't, we have to be more intentional to not waste our days and to get some things in place. A new year is always a great time to regroup.  To sit down and reflect.  Think about the past year and make some View Post

Winter is right around the corner!!! Living in the Chicago area, winter is no joke!  It can be brutal!  Cold, wind, snow and endless gray days. Flannel sheets and layering of clothes is the norm for months! So you would assume I'm not a winter lover, and I'm not.  I don't like to be cold!  At all!  Sunshine and beaches are my happy place.  I found myself dreading winter every year until I View Post

We often think of our physical health by taking vitamins or trying to make healthier food choices but are you paying attention to your spiritual health as well?  Your body will let you know when you need to pay attention by giving you warning signs that things aren't right.  Your soul does the same thing but often goes ignored. Having balance in both physical and spiritual health is crucial to View Post

Would you call yourself a forgiving person?  I think everyone generally would answer "yes". Now let's get personal with forgiveness.  Are you forgiving with those closest to you that have caused you heartache and pain?  A spouse, a friend, a family member?  Forgiveness looks a little different when we're dealing with our own personal hurts. I have talked to so many women in my career who View Post

Joy and happiness are two very different things.  Happiness can be based on our circumstances and can be very fleeting.  You have it one day and the next day it's gone. Joy, on the other hand, is more deeply rooted.  No matter how hard life gets we can still experience joy.  We can still have peace despite the storms, the hurts, and the disappointments in our life. The word joy isn't even View Post

Sometimes I take the long hard road. Like moving to a new state where I didn't really know anyone, had no clients for a business and decided to open my business anyway.  Because the dream of it becoming a reality outweighed the fear.  When most people are thinking about planning for retirement I'm just getting started. Yep, I take the less traveled road. Let's fast forward.  I sell my View Post
