‘You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, with all your strength, and with all your mind,’ and ‘your neighbor as yourself.’ (Luke 10:37 New King James Version) While many people are using words such as Resilience, Faith, Grace or Growth, just to name a few, as their word of the year to focus on, which are great, I have decided that this year my word will be L❤VE. I need to […]
Such a beautiful sunny day…for the most part. Rain clouds started rolling in about 3:30 p.m. No rain today though. With the frustrations of work at times, I’m truly grateful for the few good friends I have…quality over quantity. They make crappy days good and good days better. It’s too bad I couldn’t find yeast at the grocery store yesterday. I really want to make more homemade fresh bread. It’s so good right out of […]
Once I got home from work yesterday, and after working on accounts all day, my brain was fried. All I wanted to do and what I did do was watch a couple movies. Curling up and watching a good movie on a rainy day is such a great feeling. As I don’t really own a raincoat or an umbrella, I was a little worried that I would have had to walk in the rain to […]
Sunday is my favourite day of the week. The Lord’s day. A day of rest. The world slows down, at least for a while, even during this time, and you can sense the overall calm and peace the day bestows on us. I love Sunday afternoon naps; definitely one of my favourite things. If the Lord could rest one day of the week, so shall I. I hope to find a Hallmark movie to watch […]
Well today was a slow day, but that’s fine by me. Slow days are much needed after the week I had. Today I decided to tackle the basket full of filled journals and planners. I enjoy writing down my thoughts, plans and ideas, however, when they are negative, which I realized were a lot, or the planners served their purpose, there is no need for me to keep it. I took the majority of the […]
My morning walk was relaxing and peaceful. The sun was shining. The birds were singing. Only pleasant thoughts crowded my mind until…I started work. I was doing so well with seeking the good, and then the demands of the day bombarded me all at once. I am grateful to have a job during this trying time, truly I am, but some days are just too much to handle. Some days, it takes a concerted effort […]
“Gratitude helps you fall in love with the life you already have.”—Kristen Hewitt Although I think a lot about how truly grateful I am for the many blessings in my life, most days, as of late, have been overshadowed by negative thoughts and speech. My complaining and negativity is much louder and more pronounced than the part of me that is truly grateful for all the good. I have to remind myself daily, and sometimes […]
“A dream written down with a date becomes a goal. A goal broken down into steps becomes a plan. A plan backed by action makes your dreams come true.” — Greg Reid Let’s talk goals, resolutions and intentions for the year 2020. We all make them, most of the time we break them, but this year we are going to crush them. I could talk about how to set realistic, attainable goals and the whole […]
“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won’t feel […]
“Challenge is the core and the mainspring of all human activity. If there’s an ocean, we cross it; if there’s a disease, we cure it; if there’s a wrong, we right it; if there’s a record, we break it; and finally, if there’s a mountain, we climb it.” — James Ramsey On August 18 I will embark on a very challenging yet rewarding two-day 200+Km ride–The Ride to Conquer Cancer, which winds through the Canadian […]
