Low Battery?
Starting a few weeks ago, whenever I turned on my car, the dashboard lit up, warning me that my car key had a low battery. Each time, I looked at it thinking ‘I’ll get to it soon’. As soon as I got out of the car, I forgot about it. Until the next time I […]
Do Not Despise Humble Beginnings
As the year comes to a close, this thought comes to mind, ‘do not despise humble beginnings’. A friend (now sister) from social media shared these words with me as I started my writing journey. I started writing a blog in 2016, and only by God’s grace, has continued, consistently, to the present. As I […]
A Christmas Miracle
A few weeks ago, I had an appointment scheduled with a client and due to illness, we ended up needing to cancel it. Fast forward to this week when the calendar worked and we decided to try to tackle the situation once more. It had been a long journey for the client and I wanted […]
Encounters With Three Beautiful Mommas
While I traveled last week, it seemed God had me on assignment for much more than a bit of time away from home. I encountered 3 beautiful women with children who needed different things, but things God had given me in copious measures. The first one had already extended kindness to me, and when she […]

Remember Your Priorities
As I woke up early to write today’s blog, I got distracted with other things. As I tried to refocus my mind on what needed to be done, I smiled at the topic I had written down a few days ago ‘Remember Your Priorities’ and all of a sudden, it was serving as another good […]
Don’t Give Up Too Soon
I was reminded twice this week not to give up too soon. If you’ve been here for a while, I’ve often talked about lacking patience. Patience, I would say, was one of the weakest areas of my life. We know what happens when we ask God to lead, right? He somehow determines how to strengthen […]
An Attitude of Gratitude
A few years ago, my daughter would choose my bedtime reading for me from a little book called ‘Bible Promises for Women’ that she wanted me to read out loud. Each night the topic she chose dealt with the exact situation I’d already faced that day and they were words I needed to hear or […]
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, […]
