Fear seems to be a common issue for folks. Even if we don’t realize it, underneath the worry and anxiety, there is fear. Fear is often the root cause. Many times, fear has kept me from what God would have me to do. For those of you following me, you already know I just sold my business of 20 plus years.

I struggle with anxiety. A lot. More than I care to admit. Today, like most days, my mind begins to fill with a thousand thoughts. My to-do list seems to write itself and before I know it, the list has morphed into one for work, one for home and one for me.

Some years back, I had this man randomly approach me and say, “God wants you to know, it is okay to dream big dreams.” The statement energized me then and it still energizes me now.

The ripples of my life, touch and impact as they travel out from my center. I believe that the way in which you believe actually creates the world around you. My beliefs, my words, attitudes and actions actually impact the world around me. Impacts the people I come in contact with, those seen […]
