Do you practice mindfulness? If not, here is a helpful calendar to get you started with a daily exercise of being mindful. Being mindful can help you deal with powerful emotions that are difficult to regulate.
If you do practice mindfulness on a regular basis, what are some ways that you use that would help others?
If you want to know more on how to become a Christ-Centered mindful person, have difficulty in regulating your emotions, have a desire to face those difficult emotions and effectively deal with them, let's talk. I would love to work one on one with you.

This is a picture from Monday (1/13/25) of this week. I had no idea going into the week the God moments I would have. This picture represents much of what I experienced. Hope for the future - snow is melting slowly!! Peace in the present - Old glory still flies high and sunsets will always be my reminder that God is in control and I can take hold of His peace right here and now!! Have a blessed weekend! Look for God in all things and go in peace!

It’s a snow day here in Middle TN. It’s beautiful and peaceful. A great reminder to slow down, be present, and enjoy the beauty.

Happy New Year!

It’s been a great start to 2025! Looking forward to a year of experiencing more of God’s Love, Joy, Peace, and Hope!

I always look forward to getting a new journal and new pen at the beginning of the year. This year I made the decision to go digital and pay the yearly fee for the Journey app.

For me, journaling has always been a great coping tool for processing the ups and downs of my life.

Do you journal? Do you use an app or paper and pen?

Do you need an outlet to process your thoughts? Make it a goal to start this year.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Of the increase of His government and peace
There will be no end,
Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom,
To order it and establish it with judgment and justice
From that time forward, even forever.
The zeal of the LORD of hosts will perform this." Isaiah 9:6-7

Happy Veteran's Day!!
Thank you for your service simply put is just not enough to show my gratitude for your time and service to our country. My prayer for you is that you realize that you are a special group of people and you have gifts and talents in you that the world needs to see and learn from. I pray that you will lean into the Father's arms when the going gets tough and really get to know Him and His love for you. He is not done with you yet. He has a mission for you, just for you!
Numbers 6:24-26 "The Lord bless you and keep you; The Lord make His face shine upon you, and be gracious to you; The Lord lift up His countenance upon you, and give you peace."

Here is a great calendar to help you with mindfulness this month. Staying present takes practice, but well worth the effort. I know I have missed so much of life over the years by not being mindful of the good things in my life, my relationship with the Lord, and all of the beautiful things He has created.

September: A Season of RenewalAs the leaves begin to change and the air takes on a crisp autumnal chill, September offers a perfect opportunity for reflection and renewal. This mindfulness calendar invites you to embark on a journey of self-discovery, growth, and connection.Through daily practices r...
