As we delve into the busy holiday season, I wonder, how are you coping? For many years I worked toward having the perfect holidays filled with excitement and making everyone happy. Except for me. I went to bed every night crying I didn’t do enough, I wasn’t enough, I was a failure – as a

Today is one of those “I need my tiara” days. What is an “I need a tiara” kind of day? It’s one of those days when I’m overwhelmed by the multitude of things I have to do. I feel I’m being attacked from so many different sides, I cannot focus. I cannot think straight. Eventually
I glanced at my shampoo bottle while washing my hair this morning. The directions read “lather, rinse, repeat”. As I thought on this my literal mind said, ‘there is no escape clause’.

In my first attempt at sitting in front of the video camera, I DARED you to take a moment to dream. Moving on to the letter R in DREAM I ask you to REJECT. Reject those negative voices in your head. Reject the negative influence around you. If there were no obstacles in the way of
Dreaming. As a child I dressed as a princess and dreamed of life in a castle. My Barbie (in the days before she had all these beautiful clothes, cars, and professions) could be anything I wanted. My mom’s large cooking pot was Barbie’s swimming pool. In my dreams I traveled the world. Then life happened,

My husband walked into my office finding me on the floor, rearranging power cables. He looked around the room which showed the desk area obviously being re-organized and asked “What are you procrastinating?” When I am busy with multiple major things, suddenly a minor thing creeps up and slaps me the face, calling out for

My husband and I start our mornings with a cup of coffee. Add a touch of cream and head toward the day’s work. During the morning we may add another cup or two. Lately I’d noticed after the first one I didn’t want any more. During a coffee conversation I told my husband I thought
(I recently presented this as a speech at my local Toastmasters Club) I have heard it said, “If you don’t have a vision, you can never be focused in a direction.” I wonder then, how do you set a goal, and once set what propels you to consistently move in that direction? Perhaps, like me,
You are so busy. You struggle to keep all the pieces of the jigsaw puzzle of your life together- home, church, family, kids after-school activities, work, and the list goes on.
