Just a glimpse of me...

Do you ever feel STUCK? In 2000, I began looking for answers to some tough questions in my life. I'd searched high & low and finally conceded to search the promises found in the Bible. Those promises have sustained & guided me through the loss of a parent, the struggle with anxiety & depression, the loss of a valued relationship and so much more! I've found joy amid the pain. And, I want to share it with you!

When In Doubt... Do or Don't?

Just a quick "morning after" share in the wake of our Presidential Election of 2016...

 A personal friend shared some great words of advice this morning...

"Watch what you say and post today, friends.
There are a LOT of emotions flowing.
Happy about it or upset about it,
it's better to not say something than wish you hadn't."
~ A. S. Fletcher #quote

It's great advice for every day really. If we could just hold our tongues until our heads & hearts got to weigh in and pair up with our words, how much smoother would life go?

 As a little girl my mom said this over & over & over again to me:
"If you can't say something good, don't say anything at all."  

 (Apparently I was very vocal with my views, with my disappointments, with my expectations, with my disapproval's, etc.  Hopefully I have gotten a little better with that!!)

 A great reminder was given to me again this morning through the words of a friend! Those words resonated with the very core of my being. And... when I see or hear words that resonate with me in a strong way, I share them... that's just what I do!

      Thanks for stopping by, reading & commenting. My time seems to get away from me too fast lately. I don't read enough, I don't write enough... and I certainly don't do enough chores around here! I appreciate you!
