Encouraging and equipping women over 60 to live their best life!
Today, for my Valentine’s week post, I am focusing on our love relationships and our capability to evaluate our mindset and shift from a me, self-centered mindset to an other-focused mindset. We will challenge our assumptions with good questions! Of all the relationships we find ourselves in, our lifelong relationship of marriage, the one we…
(Part 3 of Mini-Series on Breakthroughs) I’m going to share with you some of my real-life breakthroughs. I know one thing is true, if I can do it, you can too! A Quick Review A breakthrough is a moment of clarity when you see something differently. It brings a feeling of excitement because you know…
Like all of us, I am devastated by the apocalyptic loss of life and property in Southern California. But as the conversations over cause happen throughout the next many weeks and months, I hope that this time, with this President, something will finally change in our country; that they will manage the land in a way that protects the people who live there.
(Part 2 of Mini-Series on Breakthroughs) I’m excited to continue our discussion on the topic of breakthroughs. In fact, I believe they are a gift from God. Today, I’ll discuss what stops people from having a breakthrough and what helps them create the opportunity to achieve one. As I share these ideas, I encourage you…

I wouldn’t be truthful if I said last year was easy, because it wasn’t. Every “first” was a hurdle, each solo experience bittersweet. For months, I felt as if a dense fog covered me as I waded through shock and struggled to move forward. Small tasks felt huge.
Reflect over your year and create your own list of successes, both big and small. This step of writing down your accomplishments is a confidence builder. It puts on paper the things you’re most proud of. We can get so caught up in the things that didn’t go well. Our setbacks, our failures and focus on those things. I think if we let ourselves, we can binge on the things that didn’t go well and get stuck. This thinking is so counterproductive. I do think that has a place; to be evaluated. But not today. We are getting ourselves prepared for an even bigger and better year. It all starts with our mindsets.
Sunday, I had the joy of singing in our choir Christmas presentation. This year was different. Jim wasn’t sitting in the men’s section.
