Fighting fear and complacency to live life to the fullest!
My nine year old daughter loves to wear blue jeans with holes in them. It drives me crazy. She will wear them everyday. She will wear them to school, the store, and she tries to wear them to church (and then I have to make her go change). It bothers me because she has a […]
“Every individual believes deep down that he or she has a greater capacity for success than they are currently experiencing. They simply need someone who will believe in them and tell them so – someone who will fan the flame rather than extinguish the fire. We have that potential with our words.” – Sharon Jaynes […]
If you are in an abusive marriage, this article does not apply. While some of these books might be helpful, it is important that you seek help in the right places and make sure that you and your children if you have them are safe. Focus on the Family has an article with advice for […]
Wow, I have been absent on my own blog for almost two weeks!
