A Christmas Miracle

When you least expect it, God answers and miracles happen!    My last post left off with telling you about the healing that started happening when my husband was recovering from a ruptured disc.    Through physical therapy and movement, he started to heal. It wasn’t easy and it seemed like it took forever.   His […]

Focus on the Joy

For the last few years, I choose a word to think and meditate on each day in that year.  In 2020, that word was ENOUGH. Actually, it said, “I am Enough”.  This was chosen because like everyone else, insecurity can creep into my life very quickly.    It doesn’t matter whether it is personal or […]

The Best Choice for You

As an insurance broker, there is nothing I like better than to give my clients choices – choices on which insurance company to choose, which deductible works for them, which plan works for them, which network works for them, etc. When I first started in the health insurance industry, I represented one insurance company.    […]

Your Diet is Not Only What You Eat

Your diet is not only what you eat.   It’s what  you watch, what you listen to, what you read, and the people you hang around.    Be mindful of the things you put into your body emotionally, spiritually, and physically. This was a quote that I saw in the last few months that really hit […]

Self-Care – Today is a Gift

“Yesterday’s the past; tomorrow’s the future, but today is a gift.  That’s why it is called the present.” – Bill Keane If you really think about it, we all spend time worrying about the past and the future. Just this morning, my husband woke up, smiled at me, thanked God for another day together, and […]

Self-Care and Gratitude

Last week, I stepped outside to take our dog for a walk out first thing in the morning.   The weather was supposed to be very hot and humid that day so getting a walk in was important to do as early as possible. Stepping outside, one of the first views is that of our vegetable […]

Self-Care – Part 1

Have you ever felt overwhelmed with things that need to be done? Has the stress of the day kept you awake at night? Have you ever felt your productivity slipping because you are doing things that you possibly said yes to, but really didn’t have the energy to do? Personally, the answer to these questions […]
