A Game-Changing Statement

“In a single moment, it is all gone.”-Revelation 18:17 We live in a society of constant to-do lists in the pursuit of feeling “accomplished,” “getting things done,” and “delivering on promises.” Perhaps this is a familiar setting for you or for those around you. Then we come across one bold statement that challenges the way […]

Rule (of) the Playground

Over the past couple of weeks, the notion of giving and receiving has come up several times. Often, good-hearted people get addicted to giving to others but hesitate when it comes to receiving. More often then not, this hesitation or reluctance to receive stems from a feeling of guilt or the feeling that “if I […]

BE(a)LI(e)VE

Our dreams are inspired visions of what is possible. Rooted deep within, they propel us forward on days when we feel like we can go no further. They give us hope of a happier tomorrow, which offers us happiness today. When we are young, we imagine. As we grow older, our imaginations give way to […]

I encourage all of you to embrace obstacles and inconveniences as they are just opportunities (many times AMAZING opportunities) in disguise. 1. […]

The finished painting at the end of my day is my experience. I see potential in problems. I see opportunities in obstacles. I see Love and the longing for […]

Monday Mandate: Activate & Release

Because it also happens to be a Monday, I know some of you out there have erased the extraordinary and instead have written horrendous, chaotic, crappy, etc. on it. Ladies & Gents, you are an […]

Happy New Year…to me! #nowisit #youmatter #LIMpact

Friday May 4th was a special day. I turned a year older and started a new decade of my life. On this day, I also had a health scare when a birthday dinner turned into a potential life-threatening situation as I experienced an allergic reaction. God was on my side that day as I caught […]

Driving Lessons: Red light, Green light

Inspiration is truly everywhere. Insight often comes when we least expect it. Yesterday as I was driving, I began to think about the importance of traffic lights. Most of us have all had one of those days in which we seem to get every red light. Most of us have also had one of those […]
