Do You See Me?
We recently got a new security guard in my office building. Each morning when I pull into the parking lot, she waves with energy and gusto. When I first observed her, I waved back and started smiling to myself. After a few weeks of her consistently doing this, I felt the urge to go thank […]
Is It Possible to Time the Market?
“Is it possible to time the market?” As this topic has come up a few times recently I wanted to stop and talk about it. In conversation last week with one of my dear clients who is already in retirement, she asked the question, “as markets have been down so much and I’ve lost money, […]
The Morning God Heard Me
One morning this past week as I went for my morning walk, I saw a piece of paper folded up and upon closer inspection saw that it was just paper. I jokingly said to God, ‘yeah, I’m really looking for money on the ground’. After all, who couldn’t do with a few extra dollars these […]
The Straw That Broke The Camel’s Back
I was at a restaurant a few weeks ago and as one of the kitchen staff walked by, he said out loud ‘how can a straw break a camel’s back?’ talking to no one in particular. As he was not addressing me, I minded my business but smiled, thinking ‘sir, if you only knew’. Fast […]
Richer and Deeper Friendships
I just spoke a few weeks ago about being thankful for the friendships that God has blessed me with, but God has spoken to my heart on this topic again. As I spent the evening with a friend, sharing with her in a way that means so much to her by cooking and spending quality […]
Sometimes It Takes Years
This season finds me writing less in my phone notes section and more in my journal. I was even tempted to say I write less these days than the early days, but my mind flashed to my journal next to me, and remembered that I don’t actually write less. I just write in a different […]
Wait A Little While
Last week I traveled to Denver on business. Whether it’s business or vacation, I usually book the cheapest flight that will ensure that I’m on the flight. This was no exception. This is one way I’m able to spread my dollars for more trips. One of the drawbacks is that there is typically no seat […]
Thanking God For The People He’s Sent To You
I woke up to today’s verse of the day, found in Philippians 1:3 which state ‘I thank my God every time I remember you’ I could not help but smile. There are people who God has gifted me with in my life, that have helped me make my life what it is today, and I […]
Will God Come Through… Again?
Have you ever wondered whether God is going to come through? After writing for over 6 years and sharing on a Sunday morning, that’s the question that came to mind: ‘will this be the Sunday morning that God doesn’t show up and show out?’ Even in His faithfulness after all these years, I sometimes still doubt. To be...
When God Reroutes You
I had such an incredible experience on Friday – not to toot my own horn, but simply because I was humbled by the way God provided for me and another lady. One of the things I try to do for myself is to get at least 30 minutes of walking in on a weekday. On […]
