Before you blame them.

A special gift to your spouse, your family and community is becoming a better you. You cannot control someone else’s better.  They are responsible for them you are responsible for you.. your behavior is your responsibility not dependent on theirs. 


There is no better we without a better me. 

Clothe yourself with: 


1: Humility, Romans 12:3 

Insecurity will rob you of humility 

Humility says,  I don’t think less of myself just thinking of myself less. 

Keys to humility: 

•Gratitude 

•Confess  regularly  where you miss the mark. 

•Serving others 

Humility brings wisdom, favor, rescue. 


2: Trust first. 


•Integrity: consistent character in all areas. 

•Trustworthiness is the ability to own mistakes. 

•Fill in the gap with trust not suspicion.  Believe the best. Give to others what it is  you need and watch to see how it comes back to you 💫


3: Practice vulnerability(proverbs 12:22) 

•Stay away from lying.  Be honest. Vulnerability requires risk of rejection and is effective in a safe circle. 

•Secrets sabotage soul work. 

•In to me you see =intimacy 🌟


4: Speaking life:

•Determine to not be a critic, build people up and not tear them down. 

•Guard your heart( proverbs 4:23 ) for out of it flows the issues of life. 

•Speak to people’s possibilities, help   them to see what God sees 

Love always. ❤️


Some have trouble loving themselves which makes it hard to love others well. You can’t give what you don’t have. Matthew 22:39. Love your neighbor as you love yourself. 


Faith, hope and love… the greatest of these is love. 

Loving God deeper requires knowing him. Loving ourselves deeper requires knowing ourselves deeper. Loving our neighbor requires knowing them deeper. This is what leads to understanding and not judgement.

When life doesn’t make sense, tune into your 5 senses.

 I am coming to understand that not only do we experience the 5 physical senses of taste, touch, smell, sight and hearing but we also experience these senses spiritually.  In my quiet time with the Lord, I was reading Sarah Young’s devotional called Jesus Listens. She referred to the eyes of our heart being open to a kind of sight that leads to hope. Meaning, our heart, in a spiritual sense is where our desires flow from. It’s where we hope and dream and where our emotions are felt and flow from. So when we have eyes to see into our heart and what it is we are hoping for, it may lift our perspective of what is to come. Not just wishing and dreaming but being confident in what God has promised in his Word. Hope is the anchor that steadies our heart when storms come into our lives. Hope sees the future glory that will revealed after the storm.  Then there is faith. Faith comes by hearing, hearing the Word of God. Which leads me into the next sense of hearing. What are you h...

The Gift of Relationship.

  Do you have a favorite robe you put on? How does it make you feel? Is it soft and comfy, wrapping around you, feeling warm and comfortable?   I have not a robe but a blanket I wrap up in at the end of the day. Its soft comfortable fabric makes me feel like it is time for rest.  Did you know that the Bible says that God clothes us with his robe? When we first believe in his Son, he wraps us in his robe of righteousness. What does this mean? It means we are now in right standing with our Creator. We are now called righteous. A right relationship, free to access him, free to talk with him. The veil has been torn and nothing in all creation can separate us from this relationship of love. How does this robe make you feel?  Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled. - Matthew 5:6 (NIV) I am the righteousness of God in Christ. His blood bought this robe of righteousness for me and is given freely when I believed. I did not a ...

Be. Believe. Become

 I have recently been on a journey of becoming a life coach. I am currently a Dental Hygienist of 30 years and have found this career to be greatly rewarding. For those who are closest to me know that as I am getting older, my physical body is, as I define, generally experiencing the wearing out phase of life. I say this with the utmost respect I have for my body, it has served me well but my hands are tired. As I gradually do less Dental Hygiene over the up coming years, Life Coaching Certification has become an interest and an endeavor for me. What I hope to continue is having deep, meaningful, relevant conversations that lead to honesty, vulnerability and a deeper sense of knowing oneself. To help myself and others grow and learn in life as we lock arms and become the best version of ourselves. Discussing and strategizing ways to overcome obstacles that are getting in the way of experiencing change. Leaving old habits and patterns behind, letting go of what was and reaching towa...
