Living a Life of Love

I just finished working at the Furniture Market, where thousands of out- of-town guests converge on our lovely city. I was hired as a “helper,” assisting a sales representative with his furniture line in a showroom. In this role, I talk to people, answer questions and place orders. It works out well for me because I love people. I really enjoy helping people. The definition of the word ‘help’ is; to make it easier for (someone) to do something by offering one’s services or resources. […]

Did you know that I am wonderfully and fearfully made? Did you know that you are too? As I write this blog, it happens to be my birthday. In fact, me and my husband share the same birthday week with only two days separating our special days. That means double the fun, double the cake and double the love. We don’t really exchange gifts but we always give each other cards. In the last few years, my husband started making my birthday cards. I love […]

I think God is trying to teach me how to relish the moments of my life. Today, I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God! Psalm 37:4 ESV says, “Delight yourself in the Lord,     and he will give you the desires of your heart.” If I’m being honest, I don’t always  delight in the Lord. Last week, I wrote about A new book and a new beginning  One week later, I’m am overjoyed by the success of this book. But it is the love of God […]

“This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it!” I remember proclaiming this verse a year ago as I sold my business to follow a dream of writing a book. Although scared, I embraced the idea of entering into a process of writing, editing and publishing a book. Unsure of where I was going or what I was doing, I stepped forward, right into a brand new beginning. It has been tough. I’m not going to lie. Often, […]
