    Hospital Tips

    The great fear and dislike of hospitals tend to all stem from “the unknown”.  Going in, anxiety and stress can build up in not knowing what to expect. It can be very unsettling to be thrown out of your comfort zone. But that is where I would like to help. I too used to have a massive fear of hospitals.…

    Learning & Loving Your Body

    Diet and exercise isn’t one size fits all. We’ve all heard it, but do you believe it? Or are you still trying to copy what the latest fads and trends are saying?

    Work for the Lord

    You don’t show up for work for five minutes and then leave. You don’t feed your baby for a few seconds and then put them down. You don’t pull out of the driveway and then stop your car. Why do we stop at just saying, “Lord, help me.” Why do we think that we can get by with just reading…

    In Sickness & In Health

    Do you know the scenes in movies where the person is being rushed through the hospital, and their loved one arrives just in time to find them? This is the exact image of what I remember in between my neurologist visit and passing out in the wheelchair on the way to the ER. My husband was there right when I…

    Sugarcoated Lies

    “It is not good to eat much honey.” – Proverbs 25:27 Sugar, sweeteners, and sugar substitutes. Touchy topic. Still, it can be agreed that we all consume way too much of these things. But why is sugar so bad for us? Did you know that sugar is as addicting as drugs and alcohol? Studies have suggested that it is as…

    Looking for an Answer

    So many times, I find myself asking God for a yes or no answer. I just want a clear, simple answer. When I am going through something, and I am praying for help, I wish so bad that God could be like a magic eight ball. I wish I could just ask my question, say my request, shake my magic…

    Don’t Worry about Tomorrow

    It was February of 2018 when I decided that I could no longer hold a job. I had to get my health under control. But I will be honest. I did not make this decision willingly. I loved my job. I had been there almost six years, and I had worked my way up to my dream position, complete with…

    Inactivity & Idleness

    Do you know what one of the biggest causes of weight gain is? Inactivity! But why is it that when people want to lose weight, they seem to only focus on the diet aspect? We SIT here and watch the world become more and more overweight and obese, and we all want to blame the food industry. Fast food, processed…

    The Game of Life

    Have you ever played chess? I tend to like games of strategy. I like to plan my moves and arrange and organize my pieces on the board to set my traps. I don’t mean to give anything away, but I suppose I take more of a defensive approach and let the opponent come to me. My video game loving husband…

    Calling In Sick

    Let’s talk about work. What are you doing right now? Are you happy? Are you satisfied? Do you feel you’re doing what you were called to do in life? Could anything be different? July 2012 I remember the day I got hired for my job – a leasing agent for property management. I was walking on the levee when the…
