In troubling times like this, it is most helpful to be proactive, not reactive. Reactivity in this case finds it's roots in fear, which limits our creativity and problem solving capability. Being proactive means recognizing the problem for what it is, a challenge to navigate through. Faith says I don't need to live in fear, but instead, be wise with my choices and minimize my exposure where I can.
If you have a space, where you can enjoy 15 minutes of the sunshine when it peaks through, do it. If you can see some pretty flowers from your window, deck, or porch, take it in. Beauty and nature are naturally calming. A precious gift from God. For those of us who remember the eruption of Mt. St. Helens, there really is beauty that comes out from the ashes. May it remind us that this crisis too, shall pass.

Happy New Year!

To those who are grieving a loss this year, make space to cherish the special memories of your loved one and ways that you celebrated the holidays together. If you find yourself alone for the first time, reach out to someone else who is alone and invite them to share it.

Brokenness and upheaval are painful experiences. It takes a lot of brokenness to build a mountain, but a blanket of snow and green trees will make it beautiful.
God is still able to transform our brokenness into beauty.

Sometimes life is like a mountain that seems too big to climb. The only way over is one step at a time. Burdens seem lighter when there is someone to share them.

The beginning of a new year often brings New Year's resolutions and thoughts of things we want to change. For some, this involves some trips to the gym and refraining from sugar laden foods. For others, It may be a desire for a change in perspective, thought patterns, behaviors, or relationships. These are the things that either help or hinder us from reaching our dreams and goals. Is it time to take some new steps that may feel challenging or overwhelming? Would you like another perspective and support for the journey? Let me encourage you along the way.

I am now a certified SYMBIS Facilitator (Saving Your Marriage Before It Starts.) There is a SYMBIS assessment available online to help couples better understand their readiness for marriage and important things to understand about their differences and expectations that can prevent some of the misunderstandings that happen in marriage. It is also appropriate for married couples and couples considering remarriage. The books have been out for decades. This new SYMBIS Assessment has only been available for one year. It is backed by years of research. If you know of any couple considering marriage or in the early years, this is a great tool.

I've scheduled a 'Hold Me Tight' group to begin in January on Thursday nights for 8 weeks. This is an incredible educational group for couples who want to experience a closer relationship and learn how to connect at deeper levels. Decades of research has revealed what makes adult love work. This educational program includes video, teaching, discussion, and couple exercises for in class and at home. It's a great way to start the new year. Please share with your friends that might be interested or contact me at greenterry611@yahoo.com
