You know what is not talked about near enough? Mental health. Depression is a big one. I have had this illness for as long as I can remember. For a long time I suffered in silence and wondered “what is wrong with me?” Then, praise Jesus, I asked for help and am now working with […]

This week holds the day especially marked for giving thanks. I’m sure you agree with me that we don’t need just one day for this! We have so much to be thankful for this year. Yes, 2020 surprised everyone. For some it had severe consequences, and for others not so much. But on whatever side […]

Reacting to circumstances, people, and […]
Read MoreWhy is it (and maybe it’s just true for me but I’m betting it’s true for others) easier to repeat negative things people say about us then good things? I have no trouble telling my husband if I get an e-mail that tells me what I’m doing wrong, but I gloss over positive comments that […]
