It's essential to be able to laugh in every season. . Seasons change our perspective. (I used to think 65 was old, I mean really old. Now 65 is young.) But if you can keep laughing, I promise, you will always stay young! Laughter is a wonderful gift and we tend to forget about it [...]

I am an average woman who loves the life I have been blessed to live. From Africa to Asia and back to America, my life has been touched by many people and experiences that have helped me embrace each season of life whether it be challenging or a cup of coffee. I believe it is only possible to do that because of the grace and peace of God. His love never fails and it never, ever gives up!
Strategy to Move Forward With Confidence
My life, as does everyone's, has gone from season to season. Each one seems to last about 20 years, except for this season of marriage and it is going on 45 years!! But even in those years, I have noticed there are different seasons. Some of them I saw coming and engaged in as much [...]
AN UPDATE ON HOW I’VE BEEN “ENJOYING” 2019
Finding purpose and joy in this season of life.
MY WORD FOR 2019
Choosing a word, one word, to describe what I am anticipating for this new year is not an easy thing to do....usually. But this year it came to me in such a simple way that I couldn't ignore it. Change is always challenging and these last four years have been all about navigating a lot [...]

SEEING MY WAY THROUGH THE FORREST OF CHANGE
Continued from the last week: Stepping into the unknown is a scary thing. Sometimes the unknown is thrust on you and sometimes you make a decision to take that step. Either way, it can be like jumping off a cliff. When I said "yes" to this 20 hour a week receptionist job it felt like [...]
GOD IS FAITHFUL
One thing I can say for sure is that I serve a God who is faithful to me even when I don't trust Him. He knows my heart and is always ready when I am to move me along; "Forget the past and look forward to what lies ahead." Philippians 3:13. I was making my [...]
BE WILLING TO ASK
This blog was started five years ago with the idea of sharing experiences and challenges that come with change. That's right CHALLENGES OF CHANGE. We are creatures of habit and we really don't like a lot of change. We like the thought of it but then, when we actually experience it, we find it full [...]
Choosing Life in Change
This season of life is full of change. The hardest change is experiencing the loss of close relationships. Loss is so difficult whether it’s your parents or your best friend. My husband and I have lost a father, a brother, very close friends and several people we looked to as mentors and advisors in the [...]
