Dr. Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist, and photographer, did a study on how our words can affect water molecules. He took polluted water and spoke “love” and “hope” over it, and it literally turned from mucky water to a beautiful snowflake-like droplet. His study continued with multiple words. These pictures are illustrations of this study. […]
It’s been said, “misery loves company”. This statement is actually very true. What we focus on is what we attract. A misery focused mind attracts more misery. This truth also applies to positive focus! When we focus on positives, we attract positives in our lives. Today I want to spend some time in a section […]
Consider with me for a moment two animals; the lion and the elephant. Both have a purpose, and both have the freedom to roam the land. Both have strengths, and both can dominate if they choose to. The elephant, however, is more intelligent than a lion. Elephants’ intelligence has been studied for years. Researchers have […]
We just had a wonderful holiday. I ate too much and had to loosen my pants for a day or two, but it was all good! I loved driving down to Dallas to see family and play with my kids. I love how life is filled with lessons and blessings. This adventure was just […]
The other day I had an incident that I learned from. These are the things I love to share with you: lessons and blessings along my journey. Let me preface this lesson that I truly see: “divorce is hard,” even for grown children. An action was done against me by my ex-husband that I momentarily […]
EXPECTATIONS In a conversation the other day, I overheard someone talking about how their parents were working on “finding their path” while they were raising their son, and he was angry because he disagreed with the things they did. Now hearing this from a distance gave me a very non-biased position as I […]
Have you ever had a child say, “Hold out your hand”? Intuition says, “Um, why?” Well, I have two boys, so this has happened more times than you can count. It was cute when they were small because they would give me sweet things like ladybugs or dandelions. As they got older, however, they thought […]
ALOHA! Hawaii was a big dream for me, and recently I went to visit. One night we got to experience a Luau. When the host for the event first got on stage, he said, “Aaallloooohaaa.” We, as an audience, were supposed to repeat his phrase, but our response at first must have been below par […]
Have you ever heard “Victory produces joy and joy produces confidence”? I recently went on an adventure where I saw this principle first hand. Excited about the unknown ahead, we took our bikes off of the bike rack and headed them to the office that was located at the edge of the 10,000-foot elevation mountain. […]
Last week we went on a trip to the mountains with my son and his girlfriend. It was just a quick three-day trip, but so much was accomplished in that short time. On the first night, while we were in the middle of a pretty competitive game of pool, all of the electricity in the […]
“When the message came to him, Joseph wept.” This is from Genesis 50. It’s referring to when Joseph’s brothers for the “umpteenth time” mistreated him. Now, before I get into this record, I want us to consider that quote. “When the message came to him, Joseph wept.” Have you ever been harmed by someone to […]
When you hear the words “travel light” what comes to mind? Recently I was sent a wonderful teaching on “The Key to Walking by the Spirit”. In it were many amazing gems but one that resonated with me is this key, Travel Light. There are several ways to travel light. Physically, emotionally and mentally to name […]
I have a daughter who’s currently is in college. Now, my momma heart is super happy to see her go and thrive but the other side of my momma heart had to come face to face with some real truths when she moved out. When she first moved I was excited for her. Our daily […]
The other day I sat down to have lunch with a friend. He was a tall man of Native American descent with big broad shoulders and a heart of gold. As the four of us enjoyed our lunch, he began to tell me of his journey to find his capabilities. You see, he is […]
On a bright winter afternoon, I went to visit a friend. She wasn’t feeling well, so I was going to run some errands for her. We visited for a bit then she went to get her money to give me for the errands. As she searched she began to get frustrated, “I always put it […]
The other day I was at Walmart. As I walked up the aisle, a lady was coming toward me. She was dressed in a robe with slippers and I’m pretty confident her hair (possibly teeth too) had not yet been brushed. I quickly started to entertain some thoughts, (judgement) “Well, why didn’t she just take […]
Have you ever heard, “Out of sight out of mind?” Now, there may be some truth to this when it comes to my dog. If she gets focused on a food item she wants, that girl will not loose focus. Well at least not until it is eaten, or hidden from her view. The […]
Raise your hand if you feel you are on the defense side in life. ?♀️ How many of you feel like you are on the offense? ?♀️ This isn’t a trick question, it’s meant to stir thought within you. In all sports there are two ways to play; you are either playing offensively or defensively, […]
