The year is new but that doesn’t mean we can just amend old habits with a spoken wish and a written resolution…OR IS IT? We have been conditioned to believe that change is hard, that the struggle is real, and that it is in the difficulty that resides the prize. I respectfully disagree. Change is
I have to tell you that suddenly I realized – I AM LOVED- For years I used this Love. I let it flow through me and gave it forth to child, to friend, to all that needed it. But inexplicably “I” never took from it and so became love-anemic. I thought myself perhaps “unworthy” ?
Thank you Jesus, hallelujah, praise be and pass the whiskey. I stepped outside this morning and it was only 90 degrees and 52% humidity. That folks, is FALL in Texas! I pranced down my driveway with a lil’ bounce in my step and headed to the trailhead for my morning walk. This beat the hell

It’s hard to believe that there is an unflattering side to losing weight. But there is! And NOBODY, I mean NOOOOOBODY warns you about it. Now, before you go getting your granny panties in a twist, I’m not talking that 10 lbs of “Water Weight” you think you are retaining. I am talking about losing
